Single-issue voters are fools. Period. To the American people, abortion is way too personal an issue for the government or anybody to tell an individual what to do. And you better think hard: if Hillary wins and Bill becomes UN secretary, you can kiss the sovereignty of the US goodbye. What will the nation be like then?

Re: "Single-issue voters are fools."

Fools you say? Fools? You mean like all those koolaide drinkers who consider the promise of a tax cut the be all end all of political campaigns? What is a life when you can keep a few bucks in your pocket right?

We are talking about a life and death issue. I would rather be thought a fool then praised by those who will consent to the murder of a small baby. Such a person's opinion of me has no value what so ever.

I wrote this on the earlier thread. I think it is a good response to yours and others' objections to "single-issue" voters and I think the author has already made better a case than I which is why I posted his remarks in italics.

I submit that once the lines of demarcation are blurred on this one issue, it will be "Katie bar the door" on all of the others. If we as a party or a movement can justify compromise on the issue of the sanctity of life and the constitutional God-given right thereof, then we will have revealed that the conservative movement no longer even exists and will have no qualms about selling other principles to the highest bidder or the latest Gallup poll. When the foundation is removed, the whole edifice crumbles. I can remember when protecting the American border, abolishing the Department of Education (in order to keep education at the local level and away from the bureaucrats) and cutting entitlement programs were conservative positions. Now they are all considered extreme, intolerant and even "un-Christian" (in the words of my own Republican governor who wants to extend entitlements as "rights" to illegals). We have already become the party of “compassionate” (re: big government) conservatism. Remove the right to life and other moral issues and there isn’t much else to separate us from the opposition. Maybe we could just call off elections all together and agree to share power and swap Presidents and leadership positions every four years.
