"No candidate that supports either abortion or same sex marriage,etc will ever get my vote. I don’t care what else the person has to offer, they are unfit to serve."

What about the candidate that says these are not Federal issues, but State issues and refuse to take a position on them when running for Federal office?

And, what if they ALSO pledge to confirm only judges who are STRICT CONSTRUCTIONISTS to the Federal courts?

Would that be enough, or would they also have to pledge to take an official position and vote in a certain way at the Federal level...even if they believe the Constitution forbids Federal involvement?

Abortion isn’t the issue, character is. I want to know what makes up a candidate inside them. If they haven’t a problem with killing an unborn baby, that is a character flaw I am unwilling to look past.

Daniels can focus on economic issues and that would be great. If he is afraid to take a stand on moral issues, he has a problem because the Democrats and the media aren’t going to let him off the hook. When they badger him on abortion as they do all Republican candidates, what is he going to say? Daniels had better be prepared and his answers better be heartfelt because I and others will be watching.

BTW, social conservatives are economic conservatives. It is the economy only conservatives who are the problem. They are the ones willing to sell their soul for a buck.
