“After 8 years of rudy, that’s the end of the GOP as a pro-life party”

Navy_mom responds: Very often when I read post on Free Republic, I get the impression that many freepers are one issue voters. The issue being abortion.
While my husband and I are both staunch pro-lifers, it frightens me to think so many of my fellow GOP voters seem to have such tunnel vision regarding abortion. If those who oppose abortion are willing to allow a Hillary Clinton presidency simply because Rudy is pro-choice then aren’t we cutting off our nose to spite our face? My candidate is not Rudy by any means. But, I am not so short sided to think allowing Hillary to become president as some form of “protest” will do anything but cripple the conservative movement perhaps even devastate it. It seems to me a lot of GOP voters have this mentality of "I'll show them, I'll hurt me" Its troubling.

Pro-Constitution, pro-growth, anti-nanny state conservatives: "If the GOP nominates another big government "compassionate conservative" we'll sit it out or vote third party"

The FR standard reply: "Buh-bye, you dope smoking anarchist perverts, Don't let the door hit yer butt on the way out."

One issue self-proclaimed "values voters": "If the GOP nominee does not enshrine our "values" above all else, we'll sit it out or vote third party"

The FR standard reply: "OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!! It's the end of the Republican Party"

again, if he was merely a moderate who was “pro-choice” that would be a different story but this is someone very radical who is for partial birth abortion and taxpayer funding
