Limbaugh: If McCain Picks A Pro-Choice VP It’s Over
Rush Limbaugh says that a pro-choice VP for McCain would mean nothing but a loss come November.
The drive-bys are just hoping for this. They are just hoping for it because they know it’s not just a few loud mouths in the base. They know the base will totally turn on McCain if this is the case… it’s about trying to persuade McCain to make a decision that will ensure his defeat…
What is this about picking a liberal Democrat or a liberal Republican? McCain has already seen to it that he can walk across the aisle that he’s the top of the ticket. If anybody is going to attract moderates it’s going to be the top of the ticket guy. He’s not going to help himself any additional way, he’s going to hurt himself by putting a liberal or a liberal Republican on this ticket, particularly pro-choice.
I’m not sure I agree. Pro-life voters are going to flee McCain and into the arms of Barack “Let ‘Em Die On The Table” Obama? Or, at the very least, stay at home and thus let Obama win by default?
I doubt it.
The only reason why abortion is important in Presidential politics is that whoever is President gets to appoint judges to the federal bench, including the Supreme Court. The views of the VP on abortion seem like a rather trifling matter. Certainly not enough of an issue to have someone who is a conservative be willing to put Obama in office.
