Is it just me or is it hard to find one candidate who best represents all of my values. The thing that I can never really get is single issue voters. If something is so important to be the sole reason for voting (or not voting) for someone it had better be pretty damn big.

The main single issue block I have issues with is “pro-life” who for the most part really mean “anti-abortion.” I was taught that to be pro-life means just that. Sure abortion is included in there; but so is death penalty, IVF, stem cells, conception, caring for those in need (ie elderly, poor, rich), and some even try to throw same sex marriage in there (apparently gay people loving each other kills people. Kinda like when you masturbate a puppy dies.) I am not going to vote for the anti-abortion candidate who also really likes to kill those already born and make the world a worse place just because they aren't pro-abort.

Nobody likes abortions. People don't get pregnant so that they can have an abortion. Abortions are just indicative of other problems. I feel that the most import way is to prevent the need for abortions. Prevention is much more difficult though.

My personal beliefs vary in there as much as the part lines that support oppose them. I feel that it is my duty to balance all the issues and select the best candidate. Who is a pro-gun, anti-death penalty, pro-gay marriage, anti-abortion, pro-stem cell, pro-socialized medicine, anti-poverty, pro-civil rights, anti-affirmative action, anti-iraq war, pro-education, wanting to stop global warming, pro-family (of all forms), small government loving, fiscal conservative, mostly social liberal, thinks social security needs to be fixed kinda guy supposed to vote for?
