You can have all the principles in the world, but unless you have a numerical majority, they’ll be useless. That’s why we have good conservatives in the Senate but they have virtually no impact on our laws.

No. Principles are never useless. They are what one uses to govern oneself. And it is by those same principles that you and I, and everyone else, expects others to be governed by.

To vote against principle is to vote for the unprincipled. Hence, as I have said before, until you are willing to hold out for statesmen, you will be left with mere politicians. That, FRiend, is the cold edge of truth.

What would it do for the pro-life cause if the GOP Senate Caucus (of say 51 to 55 members) included Susan Collins, Scott Brown, Mark Nancyboy Kirk, LAMAR!!!! Alexander, Rob Portman, and say 6 other turncoats to be named later. As pro-lifers, do we miss Olympia Snowe?

The GOP-E leadership ALWAYS has an excuse for non-performance on OUR issues and they are remarkably efficient at protecting Muffie's trust fund, enacting special breaks for special businesses, cutting the taxes of the megabucks set. But for the babies? Not so much!
