Yes. Many Freepers assume that even "fundamentalist" Christians automatically are antiabortion. It simply isn't so, but it's impossible to try to tell people here that.

Moreover, six months ago, illegal immigration was "the ONLY issue that mattered." Forget the war on terrorism. It's illegals, dammit. I'd bring up strong anti abortion senators such as Kyl, who favored the illegals bill, and was shouted down. "TRAITOR!" they called him.

So, people, how about making up your mind. Is a candidate who will fight the war on terror AND shut down illegal immigration, but who is soft on abortion acceptable or not?

I think the term divide and conquer by the well organized and funded liberal machine keeps muddying the waters. Now when Hillry used the words about Republicans in Congress would make Jesus illegal if they could over immigration, it scared the 'water' out of the GOP power-brokers. So the illegal invasion was planted under the guise of 'compassionate' conservatism or some use 'good Samaritan' for turning a blind eye to a complete transformation of this nation. I am NOT just referring to those south of the border, there are mini communities from all over this globe set up by our government representatives that is just plain FOREIGN to a Constitutional Republic.

The GOP has become so diverse in its willingness to included so many the ideology of conservatism is virtually lost because there is no way to stay true to the Constitution when one must pander tax payers dollars to maintain these diverse communities.

The business community looking for the profit margin are willing to accept the higher tax burden for US all through cheap labor. Another one of those liberal ideas, government is in charge of cost of labor is not being challenged, just a short term attempt to circumvent the law. However, the immediate benefit for their profit margin will in the long term not prosper, these cheap laborers will at some point require union scale wages and there will be some judge some where that will decree they are entitled to life's minimum wage scale and someone will be required to settle that debt.

The GOP has been willing to join the liberals on their social issues to the point that the foundation of what gives US our blessings is so perverted it is hardly recognizable.

Why not a candidate who is anti-abortion, will fight the Muslim jihadists, and will tighten the borders? Protecting the country from foreign invaders but destroying the nation from within is foolishness. Apparently a lot of party-members see the latter as just rhetoric, and a lot of us see it as an immediate and present danger every bit as destructive as al Qaeda.

No. Duncan Hunter has always taken a STRONG, CONSISTENT stand on all three issues. The only reason ANY Republican would settle for less, when they have the option to support him in the primaries, is, IMO, because they disagree with Duncan Hunter’s STRONG stand on one or more of those issues and so, wish to support a more ‘moderate’ top tier candidate. This, imo, IS the reason for the divide between RHINO’s and conservatives, preventing the party, just like in ‘06, from uniting again. Too many RHINOs, ‘claiming’ support for DH, but then using the disguise of ‘electability’ and ‘poll numbers’ as an excuse to support a top tier moderate. There seems to be nothing they won’t justify or excuse and their ‘moderate’ views are why, in spite of all comparison, they won’t be swayed. As long as the trend continues, we are in for more of the same in ‘08, or worse. The sovereignty and security of our country are at stake, God help us.

Either one would be a disqualification. It's not an "either/or"...
