45. Why are you insisting on being a one issue voter? For me, this election
has alot more to do with then just Kerry's position on the war. I am not fond of his position, however, I am capable of finding reason in his assertion that we must stay until it is stable. I don't pretend to know how long that will be but I don't like the odds of us leaving and having the nation break out in a civil war.

I guess it is the difference between looking at the entire platform vs. looking only at a single issue. Who would you rather have appoint SCOTUS judges? Who would you rather have shaping policy for jobs, healthcare, the economy? Who would you rather have shaping foreign policy?

Look at the big picture, not a single issue. I don't like one issue voters (pro-life) on the conservative side and in order to not have a double standard, I will say one issue voters on the progressive side are just as bad.
