He is also not going to restrict abortion or stop funding it or remove gays from the military or anything else. He is not a conservative.

Are we supposed to be surprised? and shouldn’t he wait until after the elections or was this a planned implosion?

Those issues you mention are all cultural and not under federal authority according to the Constitution (abortion has some footing in the Declaration of Independence, at least). We strict-constructionists are a tiny minority...more’s the pity.

Ronald Reagan did not stop abortion, either. In fact, Reagan signed the most liberal abortion law in the country when he was governor of California.

Calm down. The most important thing is to get Obama out of office. Once Romney is in, we can and will apply massive pressure and it will work.

Recall the massive pressure W was under after he nominated Miers for the Supreme Court. She had to withdraw.

Reagan, Bush,Bush did nothing to restrict or stop abortion either. Gays in the military would require a law passed by congress.
