Identity politics is alive and well.
If a Baptist votes for Huckabee simply because abortion is there number one issue and Huckabee has the best record on that so be it.
The rest of Huckabee's record and even the rest of his campaign is way too liberal for me.
ITA. I’m pro life, all the time for any reason. I won’t vote for him or anyone just on that issue if the rest of their platform or voting record is ludicrous. It’s a huge issue for me but it’s not the only one. It’s fine if those who vote that way vote that way. On any of the issues.
I think huckabee is a liberal/socialist on everything but abortion but what good is that going to do us if we’re not the country so many fought for? I don’t think ill of those who vote for him because of that or anyone but I do get ticked when people harass me for how I vote or how I view things. Is it ok for me to vote pro 2nd A and only that? I respect McCain’s military service and I’m pro military all the time but I can’t stand him and I don’t trust him but I do think he’s better than Hillary or Obama. Just not sure I’ll vote for him come Nov since I don’t trust him or hillary or obama.
We’ve become too PC or Idenity politics for my taste. If I went by that, I should vote for hillary because she’s a girl after all and that trumps everyting even though she’s nuts and liberal and against everything I believe in and what is good for our country. But I should vote for her because she’s a women and could be the first female president regardless of how unqualified she is and what she’d do to this country. Or I should vote for huck because he has one thing right that’s important to me or Obama because that would make me not racist, rme. Or McCain because he’s moderate and reaches across the isle and lose his balls if he had any to begin with. It’s so frustrating.
