You are parsing like a clinton.

Gun rights are a litmus test for all other inalienable rights.

you are just following the Rudy-bots' efforts to parse away the God, Guns, and "gays" issue from the conservative by saying those are just social conservatives.

Sorry but you can't pars it out. You can not seperate these issues as if the USA is one big NYC.

What in sam hill are you talking about?
I am an absolutist about abortion.
I am asking myself whether it's worse to vote for a pro-abortion Republican or letting Hillary win.
And I am still in the position of saying that I will not vote for a pro-abortion Republican, period.
There's no parsing in that.
As to gun rights, I think the 2nd Amendment clearly allows the states to regulate guns. It's right there in the first three words of the amendment.
So, I'm not going to vote or not vote for a candidate based on his gun stance.
I have always voted or not voted for Republicans based on their abortion stance.
This time, only McCain is clean, except on stem cells.
So, do I let him fund killing those babies?
Or do I wash my hands of the party if those are the nominees and vote for some obscure 3rd party candidate, or not bother to vote pointlessly at all and do something else election day?
That ain't parsing anything.
MY issue is important to ME.
YOUR issue is not MY issue.
In fact, I'm 180 out on it (although, if I were King I would let everyone carry sidearms for self-defense, because the police don't do the job). I think the 2nd Amendment is clear.
That's all.
