Single Issue Voting

Are you a single issue voter?

If John Doe was a great candidate that had a great economic policy and had a great foreign policy, but was a card carrying racist, would that disqualify him for you? I'm betting it would.

If Jane Smith had great social ideas and tax reform, but included a platform which promoted bribery, would that single issue eliminate her from contention? I'm fairly confident that it would.

So, if one were convinced that human life begins at conception and that all human life is of equal value, and there was a candidate that was pro-human-life-destruction at a young age, would that disqualify him? Why, yes, it would.

I think we are all single issue voters, one way or another. It just depends on what issues are most important to each of us.
