Unfortunatly it's logic will be wasted on the single issue voters.
True. Even multiple issue voters. Guns. Gays. God. RTKBA. Even simple stuff like corruption. Rudy is partners with the corrupt Mister Kerik. All of those single issues togetehr make Rino Rudy a non-starter for many single issue voters. Absent our support, he fails.

Dont get me wrong. Ill vote for the guy if hes the nominee but are they still single issue voters if they disagree with him on 3 or more issues? Abortion, gun control, gay marriage, immigration etc?

"Abortion ... [is] not federal issues."
It ought not be, but thanks to Roe and Doe, it is. Rudy's track record of appointing liberals makes him a non-starter for social conservatives.

I'm just saying that God made Adam for Eve, not Steve.

And that isn't ever going to change. Fact is, you don't have a scrap of credible science to prove otherwise, and never will.

LOL, Rudy agrees with Hillary more than he does the GOP Platform. THAT is the SINGLE issue that will close out his dreams of the White House. Even if he does look better in a dress than she does.

"True. I'm not a scientist."

And yet you try and use psuedo-scientific arguments to favor abortion. Hmmmm......

If Rudy would be good for social conservatism, Hillary surely would be outstanding. / sarc

The Founders, who learned their history lessons from educated teachers, learned that the admixture of religion and politics doesn't really advance either one, and we wind up with the worst of both.
The Founding Fathers 'admixed' religion and politics often. Look up the Virginia Statute on Sodomy and note Thomas Jefferson's hand in the creation of same. Maybe you were unaware that almost half of the original 13 States had mandantory taxes collected to support organized religion.

That's a tenditious characterization. I am shocked, just shocked, that you would engage in such behavior.

Can you name me one nation in history that has not been near its own destruction, once it degenerated to the point that homosexual behavior became acceptable?

...the idea that marriage issues are not federal ones is completely destroyed by the fact that Congress quite explicitly legislated that several states could not even enter, or stay within, the Union unless and until they forsook plural marriage.

98 U.S. 145

REYNOLDS

v.

UNITED STATES.

October Term, 1878

"...Laws are made for the government of actions, and while they cannot interfere with mere religious belief and opinions, they may with practices. Suppose one believed that human sacrifices were a necessary part of religious worship, would it be seriously contended that the civil government under which he lived could not interfere to prevent a sacrifice?

...Can a man excuse his practices to the contrary because of his religious belief? [98 U.S. 145, 167] To permit this would be to make the professed doctrines of religious belief superior to the law of the land, and in effect to permit every citizen to become a law unto himself. Government could exist only in name under such circumstances."

I don't think there is any causal relationship. The ancient Greeks "always" found certain forms of homosexuality acceptable, and they had their ups and downs. But I am not the expert on such matters. There is somebody who is however.

By the way the Muslims are hard line against gays, and their civilizations in general have not been doing too well.
