Keep Pushing

The Republican controlled House of Representatives has recently proposed attacks on the abortion issue in two ways: by eliminating certain tax breaks, and by restricting the use of government funding of abortions. Neither move is expected to pass, as the liberals control the Senate.

But the symbolism cannot be more important at this time. The GOP must show to the American people that they are different than their Democratic counterparts. This is surely an issue which would demonstrate that, along with the health care questions which got the Republicans in control of the House in the first place.

We are in a less than two year window which should give conservatives the opportunity to show the citizens where we stand and what we intend to do. Once the American voting public sees that we really mean what we say and begin to understand how positive of a change it would make in their lives, then the Presidency and the Senate shall easily become ours in November 2012. From there, the right wing could set itself up as the dominate wing of American politics for generations.

If they remember their roots. They did not between 200-2008 and paid dearly. The GOP renaissance of 2010 essentially still agrees with them. This is not the time to test their patience but to reward it by showing we mean business. Particularly on the life issue.
