You missed my point, maybe I wasn't clear: one issue voters put THEIR issue above the good of the country.

The good of the country stands or falls, in the long-run, on its view of the sanctity of human life. If we sacrifice the good of the unborn for the sake of pragmatism, our country's demise is not far behind.

"one issue voters put THEIR issue above the good of the country."

Nonsense.

There are plenty of single-issue deal-killers for you in candidates, I'm sure.

If a GOP candidate wanted to outlaw hunting, you'd probably object. If a GOP candidate wanted to socialize medicine, you'd object...if a GOP candidate wanted to put all American troops under the UN, you'd object.

So then point isn't that ALL single-issue voters are bad, as you're saying, but simply that you don't find OUR single-issue to be legitimately a deal-killer.

We do. We find abortion to be so reprehensible, to be nothing less than simple infanticide, that to countenance a President who BELIEVES in that infanticide coming to power through OUR OWN VOTE would be unthinkable, undoable, no matter what the consequences.

There are certain things one must do no matter what the consequences, because one's conscience demands it. Like a man who jumps into a river to save someone, even though he knows he could die. Like Rick Rescorla going back into the Twin Towers to search for people left behind, there are things we simply MUST do, even though the end seemingly is worse than had we done nothing.

And refusing to vote in a pro-death candidate is one of them. Yes, even if it does give us Hitlery.
