  • Wanted to append another comment to this post that I thought about a little later: extending the thinking of “pro-life conservative candidates ironically also pro-war,” I think you have to consider the notion that even having that pro-life stance could be basic pandering to your core constituency.

    I have to seriously ask if “protecting life” is what these conservative candidates are all about. I’m not saying that ALL pro-life people feel the same way, but when you examine these conservative candidates, they are the ones who:
    – want to “protect life”
    – want to “protect marriage”
    – want to “extent the blessings of democracy across the globe” (y’know, as long as the place it’s being extended to is of significant strategic and economic importance to the United States).

    It seems like “protecting [their] ability to be the nation’s/world’s social and moral compass” is the most important thing here. Is that right? Honestly, I’m not going to be the one to decide if that attitude is right or wrong, but at least be up front about it; don’t disguise your position behind the veil of an unborn fetus.
