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.
Well said!
Not so. When President Bush tried to fix the Social Security mess via privatization, social conservatives stabbed him in the back (apparently removing the Ponzi-scheme subsidies and putting it on a "get out what you pay in" basis was "anti-family" for some reason).
