There are one-issue voters whose issue will always stop them, whether it's guns, immigration, pro-life, national defense, taxes, or whatever. Those tend to filter down to a pretty small % when all is said and done. I know LOTS of pro-life people who nevertheless would vote for Condi.
Well, you know one less now. Why are we conservatives always asked to compromise or wait till this or that and continually watering down social conservatism.
We are being moderating by our success. I'm sure Condi is a wonderful person. I do not know her but for me a pro-abort on the ticket is abysmal. And yes....you can add gun grabber to that also as a deal killer though I am unaware of her gun views. Meanwhile, luckily we run against Democrats who scare slightly more people worse. Without this war, we would have lost two months ago....in my view. But folks did mention values "disconnect" with the left, but FR doesn't seem to focus much on that snippet. Anyhow..good luck. I'm still looking.

I agree with you, and "we" are all Republicans or at least conservatives debating on FreeRepublic. There must be one stronger ideology that holds us together. Gee, I wonder what that is? Possibly something to do with responsibility no matter what our "issues" are! We are watching how Condi negotiates with misogynist leaders on the world stage. Let's see how she does.
