The GOP establishment and RINOs are the biggest things hurting the GOP. Those two groups are what the majority of dems and middle/undecided voters don't like. The newer Conservatives and Conservative Libertarians will eventually replace them. If Karl Rove can just retire quietly and cut this crap out with his new PAC, we'd actually see some stuff getting done.
Lets be fair a moment. Their arguements against abortion are reasonable without religious context involved. It just our society is twisted when they think that they hava a right to choose to kill a fetus. Because control of their body involves murder and not practicing safe sex.
I used to vote Republican, I don't anymore. If he ran; there's a good chance I would start voting for some Republicans again. We need someone like him to run for Governor here in Illinois.

Christie is a stand up guy and I like his fire but other posters have said it. He has no chance of getting the nomination because of how he supported the President during Sandy and how he has roasted his own party for incompetence. Republicans would be brilliant to make this guy the new face of their party but no one has ever accused the GOP of being brilliant since allowing the tea party crazies to take over.
unfortunately following orders of majorities is restricted by some "greater laws" like not harming minorities, humanrights etc ... thats why politicians sometimes not only follow orders.
not everything that is found in the biggest number of people necessarily is the best and ethical at all. in fact most time its indeed NOT ... even democracy has to be seen with a minimum of scepsis, like all kinds of authority and government.

the interesting thing is: the same ppl that are against arbortion are ALSO agains sexual education!!! i think abortion should be the least choosen option, while i agree that the term "right" implies to much, there has to be the POSSIBILITY of abortion in Reviewed (psychological reviews of proffessionals) cases! to forbid it completely is as wrong as completely allowing it without debate/elaboration of decisions. its the same with "the right to adopt children" right implies to much " i want,iwant, me,me,me,me" but i think its a language-specific problem of what you understand of the term "right". i think most ppl that use "i want the right to ..." just want to say "i want the possibility to ..."
so everyone in most western countries have the right of making decisions on their own about their own. now the question is: is abortion sth that only involves the one deciding? some say yes, some say no, thats why it indeed IS about the question IF a fetus is a non-consent beeing, or just a bunch of stemcells multiplying.
its always the question when, and 2why the society reflected by law and order has a "right" to intervene into personla decisions. i think the abortion thing is sth to argue about. gay-marriage for example is not. it just involves two consent ppl, noone is harmed, etc.
