It's such a waste of time to debate single-issue voters. I've been on this board a long time and I see the same debate every major election. Same breast beating, same holier-than-thou attitudes.

Flaglady, you're pro-life and pro-Duncan Hunter as your past posting history indicates. Likewise, I been pro-life for decades and I'm pro-Fred Thompson in this primary season.

However, there's a coterie of pro-lifers here that consider themselves so principled and morally-superior that they'd rather stay home and let the Socialist/Communist party take over this nation than settle for a Republican who they don't like.

I deeply respect folks who stand stand on principle.......but it's useless to debate them when they have political blinders on. In fact, they're really not interested in political realities, only their own world which has no room for pragmatists who are just as principled as they.

Fortunately, pragmatic views will prevail during the GOP primary election as they always do. I doubt seriously that Rudy will come close to gaining the presidential nomination.....and as always, the abortion issue will not even be close to the top of voters concerns when they go to the polls. A sad thing to say, but true nonetheless.

Petronski, you like to agitate and twist peoples' reasoned and rational words. However, we're not as stupid out here as you would like to think. We've had too much FR training.

Those who choose to engage the single-issue voters in endless rhetorical quagmires are welcome to indulge themselves, but as for me, I'll avoid these fruitless debates like the plague between now and election.

How can anyone reason with people who think their pro-life position is morally superior to another's pro-life position?

A person is either pro-life or not. There are no shades. Yet I've never seen a more contentious group than the obsessive single-issue voter who consistently alternate between attack and martrydom positions every election.

That kind of petty, false charge is beneath you.

Thank you - if you value life you do not compromise that by voting for an abortion advocate.

I’m glad you said all this Leni, now I don’t have to.
We saw just how well dropping out worked last year anyone who thinks that is the answer against a socialist opposition is just wrong.
