Roe v. Wade

It is my opinion that the Republican's dirty little secret is that they have no intention of tearing the social fabric of this country by overturning Roe v. Wade. They do however, want to dangle that little carrot in front of their constituents in order to keep them ever hopeful (and voting Republican). Say what you will, a major aspect of their 2004 win was the prominence of the gay marriage issue. As long as these two issues are out there on Election Day, there will be a sizable portion of the electorate making sure that their vote will help keep the Devil out of America.
