But as I've said before, abortion is the original and one true wedge issue. Both sides purposely sandbag their own efforts, so they can beat that drum to their constituents in the next election. George Bush is supposedly pro-life, but what have we done to reduce access to late term abortions in the 7 (count 'em) years he's been in office?
Right. I feel as though we were de-clawed during his administration. During the Clinton years our numbers in Washington every January were amazing. I do feel betrayed, but that's why I'm not a Republican - so I can feel betrayed without being disillusioned as well.

He did appoint Alito and Roberts (who seems to be a long way away from the Souter mistake) and like you said, that's really the only substantial thing he could do.

Either way - If it is Giuliani vs Clinton/Obama/Edwards and Paul runs 3rd party, I will vote for Paul because his economic ideas are very good and he understands that there is no liberty or pursuit of happiness without first the protection of life. I could possibly vote Obama if he wasn't over 60% with NARAL.
