What you have stated is a thoughful and accurate indictment of the typical "single-issue" Republican voter. If the candidate doesn't exactly match their single issue, they abandon the party in righteous indignation.

Flame if you want, but the single issue Republican voter is the only thing keeping the Democrat Party alive. They are what Lenin referred to as "useful idiots".

Don't worry, I won't flame you!

As far as abortion is concerned, Mary Landrieu lied about her position. She also lied about the sugar deal. That's all par for the course, since she's a fraud.

If the Republicans have done anything wrong on the abortion issue, it's that they've allowed the liberals to frame the issue as one of "choice" and not abortion. Remember, the Democrats target stupid, sheeplike voters, not smart ones. They especially target people who are dominated by emotion, not logic.

That's why Norm Coleman's response in his debate with Walter Mondale was the perfect way for a pro-lifer to handle the abortion issue, as others here have mentioned. It was logical, but also touched an emotional chord with those voters who have been brainwashed into thinking "choice" is all that matters (as opposed to what the "choice" is).
