“Not sure what this jackass considers “far” right...”

I think he's talking about you. That aside, I'm thinking far left or far right are one issue voters...those that cast votes on where a candidate stands on a single issue, rather than taking the dozens of important issues at hand, weighing them accordingly and coming to a decision based on where candidate is positioned the full spectrum of political colors.

“If he picks a pro-baby murder VP, large portions of the base will sit home and watch him lose.”

Here is a good example of the “far right”. It doesn't matter that McCain is much better on the WOT, the size of government, how he will pick SC nominees or even that he is pro-life himself. If he picks A VICE PRESIDENT (?) that isn't solid on abortion the pro life crowd will sit out the election and insuring that a militant anti-pro-life candidate sits in the White House, signing pro-abort legislation and nominating militant pro-aborts to the SC.

I believe that's called cutting off your nose to spite your face. It's also why true conservatives who understand how the political game is played is getting tired of the ultimatums issued from the “far right”.

You sound like spoiled children threatening to hold your breath of you don't get exactly what you want.

Yes, pro-lifers would rather see the man stand on principle and lose than to embrace a baby murderer.

Exactly....and there seems to be no consideration of consequences of the total vote counting.

And those that support the GOP at all costs fail to realize is that for many “far right” conservatives, is that we consider it a SIN to vote for someone who advocates murdering babies. Thus if the GOP decides to go down that path, then we can not walk with them for our SOULs are worth more than all of America or a political party.

“I think he’s talking about you. That aside, I’m thinking far left or far right are one issue voters...”

Pro-life

anti-illegal alien

Pro-military

Pro-Constitution (ALL of it)

Low taxes

anti-gay “marriage”

That’s me and if those issues make me “far right” then I wear that label with pride.

That's more like cutting off your head to spite your body.
