No Abortion Litmus Test for Vice President means No Abortion Litmus Test For a Supreme Court Justice.

[Jo Nuvark]

I believe that Government is not to blame for this wholesale slaughter of the innocent. Moral decisions come from Bible-Torah literacy, (Psalm 139), not from legislation. Roe v. Wade aside, we have not been forced to kill our babies. Abortion statistics are staggering because we (yes, I mean Judeo-Christians) have chosen to murder our unborn.

I believe that liberals have used the abortion debate to divide and conquer. We need to stop this naive militancy. In Deuteronomy 11, God tells us clearly how to raise moral people.

“And you shall teach them (God’s statutes and ordinances… V1) to your sons, talking of them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road and when you lie down and when you rise up.” V19.

Though separation of church and state cannot be found in the Constitution, the following might be a better way to view the concept… Morality is personal and none of the Government’s business. Anything otherwise is kin to dictating religion.

I believe that the Government is a business and should be run as a business. We should elect a fiscally conservative leader. We should elect a military leader. We should elect a Godly leader. Moreover, we should be informed and not easily swayed by an anti-American agenda disguised as “concern”. It is nothing but pathetic, alarmist rhetoric. Abortion and terrorism are both wars against humanity. But the battleground for the unborn should be waged from the home (church), not the Supreme Court!

Wow, I'm glad we have the MSM to honestly, with no bias, tell us what a candidate means when they say something.. I mean jeeze.. if it weren't for the MSM, the letters VP wouldn't be found anywhere in McCain's statement... boy, I'm sure glad I don't have to think for myself.. just trust the MSM...

[Nonstatist]

McDole is a douche bag, no doubt about it.

[GOPGuide]

“That’s not where they’d want him going,” Hoekstra said of the party base.”

Ha! As if McCain cares what we think.

He had better not dare choose Tom Ridge or Loserman.

[Maelstorm]

If McCain picks a pro-abortion vp he is toast. There is nothing that will get evangelicals to support him after that.

[Uncle Miltie]

Comrade Juan McNuts is not Conservative.

[Charles Henrickson]

"it would be the kiss of death."

Both literally and figuratively. If McCain picks a pro-abort VP, it would be the first time in my adult life I do not vote for the Republican--after nine times of doing so.

[mrsmel]

If he chooses as his VP candidate someone who supports abortion, that’s it, I won’t vote for him. No ifs, ands, or buts. Murder of babies is where I draw the line. I’ve forced myself to just get over it on his immigration stance, his globull warming policies, and his back-stabbing of conservatives. I’m already ashamed of myself, but I despise Obama. If he caves on the abortion issue, that’s it, that’s my line in the sand.

[newberger]

If McCain picks a pro-choice VP candidate, I’ll probably sit this one out.

It would be both a slap in the face and a knife in the back to grass roots supporters.

[Charles Henrickson]

“The right-wing is not going anywhere. . . ."

If McCain picks a Ridge or a Giuliani, then THIS right-winger is "not going" . . . to work or donate or recommend or vote for McCain. I will write in Fred Thompson.

[Cicero]

Obama is so bad, I’m considering voting for McCain even though he is an absolute disaster.

But if he chooses a pro-abortion running mate, forget it. I WILL NOT VOTE FOR SUCH A TICKET. Bad enough to have four years or eight years of McCain. Now they want to groom a pro-abort for the next run?

No.

[Joann37]

This is shocking!

That McCain has a base, that is.

[FFranco]

For McCain, it’s a political, not a moral decision. He needs to win the middle if he is to win the election. He figures he’s got the conservatives in his pocket (just like Obama has the liberals). They are both fighting over the middle undecideds.

In the end, McCain may choose a pro-life VP. But if he chooses a pro-abortion VP, part of the reason will be he thinks he will gain more votes in the middle than he will lose on the right.

[xzins]

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge’s pro-abortion rights views wouldn’t necessarily rule him out quickly found their way into the in-boxes of Christian conservatives

The truth will be seen in the actual pick.

Everything else is just politics. Can anyone imagine any reason why McCain might want to be polite to Ridge?

Just wanted to drop by and see if any of the mug whores are attacking the pro-Life crowd for “holding onto their precious principles”.

[Ben Reyes]

If he picks a pro-abortionist for Veep, it would be hard for me to justify any level of support for his candidacy. It’s going to be pretty hard to get enthused about this race then.

But I hope he doesn’t do that.

[Salvation]

BTTT!
