It would be a tragedy for the Republican party to start splitting.

My party needs to listen to Main Street, not to Wall Street on this issue.

More and more political analysts and weak-kneed politicians are advising the historically pro-life Republican Party to abandon its pro-life stance for political gain. My first response is that if you cannot trust a party on the value of defending human life, how can you trust it on issues like marginal tax rates?

It's important not to stigmatize the word Republican, because the great tragedy is an extremist group has taken over one of our great parties.

Ronald Reagan taught us how to be a majority party by advocating lower taxes, smaller government, family values and respect for life. The Republican Leadership Council would like us to drop half of the message, which would cause an election-day disaster.

The Republican Party is not inclusive.
