Still out of context. I am talking about US. The other people on FR. I don't know how to say it more plainly; perhaps you're being difficult/obtuse on purpose.

Every time we have a thread like this (2nd Amend., illegal aliens, abortion, etc), the liberals win. Dividing the right wins elections for the left.

Vote for whomever you like - it's certainly your right. We'll all be so appreciative of your single-issue principle when the next Perot balls it up for the Right.

No, but basing all of your voting desicion on a single issue is just plain stupid. Look, American Politics is/should be about finding the middle ground that suits the population as a whole. It shouldn't be all about hardcore partisanship and finding that middle ground after the dust settles. To often, that ends up tilting toward the liberals - they're not so easily divided and conquered like the single issue crowd. Look at this thread. Based on an article in one of the most liberal pulications out there, you've all got your panties in a wad, crying "treason", and vowing do vote for someone else? Who is the other viable candidate that you'll vote for? Get some perspective, people. You've got to choose your battles wisely. And quit fighting those who are on your side.

I am sorry if I stupidly or obtusely interpreted the context of "And quit fighting those who are on your side." I didn't mean to be difficult.

"Every time we have a thread like this (2nd Amend., illegal aliens, abortion, etc), the liberals win."

Every time a RINO rips another piece out of the Constitution, the liberals win. (Correction. Bush isn't a RINO, he's a true Republican, since such Republicans have been shredding the Constitution for Decades.)

One correction, at least: Perot didn't ball it up for the "right". Perot balled it up for Bush I and Dole (to an extent). Only wild-eyed pubbies could call either of those mushies members of the "right".
