One-Issue Voters Make Me Sick

[Ben Kenobi]

That's how I feel.

I will not vote for a pro-choice politician, regardless of political affiliation.

If that makes me a one-issue voter, then I'm glad to have picked the right issue to hinge a vote upon.

It's a good question, but the answer isn't really that difficult.

God will save those whom he will save.

Point taken, but it seems that most one-issue voters tend to be socially conservative people.

That is becaue it suits your agenda to thin so. I would say the opposite.

"Anyone but Bush" ring a bell?

A really good person is running against Hitler. Hitler is not pro-choice. The good person is.
Can you honestly tell me you'd vote for Hitler?*

*Note: If you say "No", your going to hell.

I've found most people who say that could give you a list of a dozen issues which can be summarised thus.

Hitler was pro abortion so I'd never have that dilemma.

How can somebody be good if they're pro-choice?

Doesn't have to be that way.

But it boils down to "he isn't Bush," most of the rationalizations given after the fact as you say are incidental to that.

Are you implying that the "anybody but Bush" folks just decided out of the blue not to vote Bush, and then came up with reasons why they don't like Bush? How did they decide not to vote Bush in the first place -- did Bush lose the coin toss or something?

Fine. A really good person was running against me, and I advocated the death of all non-Russians. Meaning that, unfortunately, you would be purged for the good of the Russian race. But I'm againat abortion Who would you vote for?

Sorry Ben, I can't take the required leap of faith.

I try to be a 'good' person (whatever that is) but there is no god.
