Well, I guess that about sinks any hope she may have.
If we are to be one issue voters then Alan Keyes is our man on the abortion issue. I supported, worked, and voted for him in the 2,000 primaries. Bottomline, he didn't make much of a showing although I think he was right on all issues. Yet, I didn't slash my wrists nor throw away my vote in protest during the general election. I vote Bush and I am glad I did. I didn't do it because he was pro-life, though, but because he was the best choice with a chance to win.
Where, anywhere, did I say I was a one-issue voter? But are there not single issues that are "trump" issues for you? Let me try you on a few.
Would you vote for a GOP candidate who was economically tight, governmentally small, pro-second-amendment, tough on crime, for tougher borders, Constitutionalist... but felt that rape should be legal?
How about a GOP candidate who was economically tight, governmentally small, pro-second-amendment, tough on crime, for tougher borders, Constitutionalist... but felt that child molesting should be legal?
Or a GOP candidate who was economically tight, governmentally small, pro-second-amendment, tough on crime, for tougher borders, Constitutionalist... but felt that slavery should be legal?
Okay now, one more.
If you said "No" to each of the previous, then you are going to have to explain something to me. How is the position that government has a role in preventing the poisoning, butchering, dismemberment of living children whose greatest crime is that they are imperfect or inconvenient ethically less clear or imperative than the other "single-issue" concerns (rape, child molesting, slavery) that I mentioned above?
Please think it through, and give a thoughtful answer. I am interested and will listen. Otherwise, no need to bother.
