Which is indeed my point.

Many Rudy supporters attack me and those who hold views like me as "single issue" voters, and do not answer when I as a question such as "If Rudy went anti war to be elected, would you support him?"

I can't vote for Rudy. Since I am in Iowa right now, my vote in the primary cycle will have more of an impact than in other states. I will campaign for and support someone other than Rudy. If he becomes the nomination, I could not in good conscience vote for him as he holds the opposite of many of my core beliefs.

You stated that you are, in some ways, a foreign policy "single issue" voter. Good, then I and the rest here know where you stand. Many other Rudy threads simply state "He is the only one who can beat Hillary!" with out articulating why he would be better than Hillary in domestic (in which he has publicly said he agrees with much of what HRC wants) or foreign policy.

If he becomes the nomination, I could not in good conscience vote for him as he holds the opposite of many of my core beliefs.

Then you shall help (or at least lose the opportunity of preventing) the (D) nominee, presumably Hillary Clinton, become President. That's just a fact, and I'm just pointing it out; there's no sense in being in denial about this fact. If you're going to insist upon this "conscience vote", at least be honest with yourself about the effects, that's all I ask.
