I lean towards being a fiscal conservative, but would certainly vote for the Democratic party if (in a Sliders-like alternative universe) the Democrats were pro-life and the Republicans were pro-abortion, even if nothing else changed in the platforms of the respective parties. Abortion is not the only issue I vote on, but with the coming budget shortfalls I don't think either party will be able to accomplish much over the next four years other than appointing Steven's and Ginsberg's replacements.

I would vote a democrat who promises to tax everyone in excess of 75% and use it to plant baby seals in the everglades, if they promised to work day and night on a constitutional ammendment guaranteeing the right to life for the unborn.

They do not mean to make a universal statement that a pro-slavery, pro-sharia, pro-whatever-evil-thing-may-be-worse would be better as long as they were pro-life.

Or only a strict, Shiite Muslim, who is anti-abortion 100%, but wants to impose Islamic law on all Americans?

abortion is the only issue, nothing else matters.

obama rates 0% on the pro life meter.

If Obama's purpose is to portray himself as a diplomat par excellence, the noise he's been making at Pakistan has been extremely unfortunate. Particularly with a new, potentially friendly president coming to power there. By the way, I have to agree with fus01.
