Well, there goes his nomination. When are people going to wake up to the reality that we're talking about murder, here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way I would ever consider voting for him now. Fred Thompson is my choice, and I am hoping he enters the race officially. If he does not, I will go for Newt Gingrich. Had it come down to a choice between McCain and Giuliani, since I don't care for either candidate, it could have gone either way, but after those comments, I prefer McCain. I agree with you rtwo. He just committed political suicide within the Republican Party. He can't win the nomination without the backing of at least some evangelical Christians that make up a large portion of the base. Agree on all counts. And with Thompson's record on abortion (and the fact that I've pretty much agreed with most of his voting record on other issues), I definitely think he's the guy. Romney's not a bad choice, but I'm still a little fuzzy on his stance on abortion. I absolutely refuse to vote for a pro-abortion candidate. I think if Giuliani were to win the primary (somehow... which really won't happen now) I'd either vote for a pro-life indy or else just not cast a presidential ballot.

Oh Hamburgers!

What makes abortion the be-all end-all issue for many here? Besides the obvious moral complications with it, why would abortion be the one deciding factor on supporting someone. I mean, for me someone who is strict on abortion rules would be a plus, but it is not my priority for a representative. For many here, it seems that abortion is one of the top issues for a candidate, and if they support abortion it is an immediate loss of support. Why is this? If I agreed with a candidate on all their ideas except for abortion, I would still support the candidate, while it sounds like many here would not.

If a dream candidate is great on all counts, but then says, "you know, I think drowning babies is okay..." that guy ought not get elected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LadyC Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 i'm leaning towards mitt romney myself. someone said they were fuzzy on his stance on abortion... he's pro-life, and his voting record is pro-life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
