When you get Christopher Shays, a pro-abortion Republican, and if you are a pro-life single issue voter, the only way that you should even CONSIDER voting Democrat is if the Democratic candidate is more pro-life than Christopher Shays. If the Democrat is not more pro-life than Christopher Shays, than you should do everything you can to support a more conservative primary challenger to Shays in the GOP. It's actually pretty simple.
Do you mean to suggest that the Democrats are closer to being right on the border issue than the GOP? If it wasn't for the GOP, the earlier bill would have been passed. The GOP is the only party digging in against illegals.
The solution is to continue to elect officials who are conservative, to EXPAND our conservative presence in both houses. It is NOT to weaken the GOP by allowing liberals to take power. I don't know why this is so hard to understand.
I will always vote for the pro-life candidate.
Of course there are no pro-life Democrats or Republicans on the ticket in New England, ever. We publicly fund abortions in Connecticut. I don't move, so I bear the sin too.
