The savior of the Republican Party

Exactly , they used this foolish group of Americans.

They may not be ab le to hang onto them if they back away from the issue and take a sane view.

They will be minus 30 percent of their base. They cant win without them.

If they dump them ( the smart move) it will take years to build back a new base.

Heres the numbers.

Cons have retreanched on the issue and the rest of the country has backed away from it.

Because the rest of the country watched the "cons" sit in Washington with complete power for six years and do nothing about the issue.

Most Americans that care are figuring the racket out. It will be funny to watch the cons try and re-embrace this issue.

I mean, they only had the house, senate, executive, and 7/9 SCOTUS appointees from 2000-2006, what could they have done?

Abortion and guns are taken out every four years as a political issue. Once the voting is done, nothing is done about them. Both are sacred cows

Exactly, and while you can "fool some of the people all of the time" with those kind of tactics, you can't fool "all of the people all of the time". I think people are wising up and realizing that nothing happens on abortion, because it's not in the political best interest of the GOP (or the DNC, but they just have to maintain the status quo, so it is less of an issue for them) to get rid of it.

WASHINGTON — Republican Sen.-elect Scott Brown of Massachusetts says he opposes federal funding for abortions, but thinks women should have the right to choose whether to have one.
Brown tells ABC's "This Week" that he disagrees with his party's position that the
Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion should be overturned.
Brown says the abortion question is one that's best handled by a woman, her family and her doctor. He also says more effort needs to go into reducing the number of abortions in the U.S.

A Republican who is willing to think for himself

It's a good position to take, nationally. Most Americans don't want Roe v Wade overturned. Try winning Republican primaries with that position, though.

OK....The court decisions on the constitution is not a democratic process. It rules based on what the law says not what they want it to say in order to match some political agenda. The democratic process come in the form of writing amendments to the constitution then the court judges cases based on the law written. If you want to end abortion then pass a constitutional amendment against it or if you feel the other way then pass one that garantees a woman's right to abortion.

I'd agree the hype is tremendous. But let's see how he does as senator.

You mean he is not already a failure?

What happened to all that hope and changey stuff?

Maybe he won't be a failure. However, he is destined to piss off a good many Teabaggers once the reality of which state he's representing sinks in.
