What's Good for the Goose...

In the mid-90s liberals, in an effort to sway conservatives toward voting for their candidates, promoted the idea that one should not cast a vote based on one issue. In other words, because so many conservatives (of which the heart of our country is composed) refused to vote for pro-choice candidates, they attempted to minimize the importance of the abortion issue and hopefully, convince some voters to vote for moderate/liberal candidates.

But when it comes to Supreme Court justices, liberals seem to abandon this philosophy. Abortion is THE litmus test of the left. Yes, other issues are important to the left: gay rights, the environment, etc. But let's face it, nothing strikes fear into the heart of liberals more than potentially losing the "right" to kill unborn babies.
