I'd have to say the 2nd Amendment.  Although it's not my only concern.

I've been in the shoes of a father who wanted the kid.  The mother had the abortion, only to spend her, "Second Chance," running around blowing coke and getting piss drunk every night.

I'm all for parents' right to choose, if that phrase would ever come up.  But women's alone?  That's not right.

I understand how you father's would say, "the laws stop at my daughter's skin" but if my flesh and blood is growing within it, I'm sorry, I want some rights and say, too.

Mine is abortion.  I think a woman's body is hers to do with as she pleases.  I don't think men have any right to tell women what they can do with their bodies.

Hmm . . . does the federal or any state government have the right to regulate medical procedures?

If not, can I demand a doctor perform a cranial amputation on either myself or my child?

If I can, does my wife have any legal recourse against the physician who performs said cranial amputation?

Just curious.

What about the baby's body?  When does the baby get to decide whether or not it lives?

When it can carry a gun?

i will not vote for anyone that promises, if elected, they will kick me in the balls

If hillary (or anyone else) wants my vote, all it needs to do is proclaim the intent for new legislation to "STOP MESSING WITH THE FREAKING CLOCKS"

"IF I am elected your president, I vow that your CHILDREN won't know the meaning of Day Light Savings Time!"

Halo, regarding being pro-choice and McCain's desire to repeal Roe v. Wade, read this article by Ron Paul.  http://www.lewrockwell.com/paul/paul301.html  Dr. Paul also thinks Roe v. Wade should be repealed, but not simply because he's pro-life (which he is).  He wants it repealed because it's not a constitutional issue, not within the scope of powers granted to the fedgov by the CoTUS, therefor it's a state issue.  Social policy is not a federal issue.

This illustrates my "single issue".  Even if I don't agree with Ron on the abortion issue (I, too, am pro-choice) I wholeheartedly agree with his rational and his constitutionality test that every issue must pass in order to get his vote.

That's actually pretty clever...

Iraq

[Eagler]

If they have a "D" following their name, they do not get my vote

[midnight Target]

I look for Eagler's choices.

I'm kinda in the middle on some issues.

I think a woman should be able to have an abortion as long as the father agrees. Or the the father is not legally responsible for the kid.

Personally I think abortion is murder but hey...once again it's not my body.

I think Roe v Wade should be overturned so the states can decide.

Border security is high on my list of musts. I won't vote for anyone who is willing to give full amnesty to the illegals.

I think that if they voted for the Iraq war and are now saying they made a mistake and/or Bush lied then they won't get my vote.

If they think they should raise taxes to give money to worthless people they won't get my vote.

If their name starts with Hillary they won't get my vote.

So as of right now I have no one to vote for.

The Long War

[Xargos]

2nd Amendment, illegal immigration are my main concerns.  Holding Big Business and Unions responsible for the destruction of the American middle class is a close third.

Also I do not feel that it is right that judges get a lifetime position on the Supreme Court .  From 1953 to 1969 the High Court all but destroyed this country.
