GOP recruiters tilt toward center in 2010 races. Conservatives react with anger.

How did Goldwater and Ford do in presidential elections? Thanks for proving my point.

Except that the definition of "life" is often rooted in one's religious views. It's legislating morality. Either way, it's still not small government. If it must be an issue, let it be a state issue.

You also miss it if you think the strike against terror was preemptive. Somehow you people forget 9-11 happened.

It's hard to forget 9-11 when I witnessed the towers burning. Don't insult me. Here's a thought: if we focused more on a strong national defense, or maybe listened to those memos that warned us of a terrorist attack, it wouldn't have happened to begin with!

We're veering too far off-topic though, so I'll say not much more.

I think this is on topic, but I just read this in the economist. Good article.

The definition of life is scientific, not religious. Check out Eeee's epic thread on abortion.

Sure. Let's go through the millions of transmissions saying 9-11 was an imminent threat. Like I said, Paul might have had a chance if not for his legions of doobie-smoking crazies.
