3rd Party Candidate = Loss of Second Amendment and Not Just Pro-Life Issue

Posted by Conservative Culture On October - 11 - 2007

Recently Dobson held out the possibility that a third candidate might receive support. Certainly the fight should be on for a good combination ticket prior to the primary. However, even if the ticket heads Rudy then it would be wise to have a solid candidate for VP like Huckabee. But if Rudy is the man then conservatives shouldn’t pull their support for the general. The loss of judge appointments could mean more than the loss of pro-life issues. It will mean the loss of second amendment rights in those same courts and in the legislation that would be passed. A loss we cannot afford.

[World Net Daily]  Some conservative leaders are saying they might back a third-party candidate if the GOP nominee is not pro-life. While the principles and values underlying their point of view are understandable, there are serious unintended consequences to such action. Voting for a third party in 2008 could cost conservatives the Supreme Court, and with it the Second Amendment.If conservatives vote for a third party, it will give the Democratic nominee the votes needed to win. It’s a tough time for Republicans, and there aren’t any votes to spare to keep Hillary Clinton from taking the Oval Office.

One thing the Democratic presidential candidates have in common is what sort of judges they will appoint to the Supreme Court. Not only did Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama vote against Justice Alito (who was confirmed 58-42), they also voted against Chief Justice Roberts (who was overwhelmingly confirmed 78-22).

Even though the majority of their fellow Democrats supported Roberts, Sens. Clinton and Obama opposed him. That’s because Clinton and Obama are committed to appointing judges that satisfy the leftist base of the Democratic Party. Given the liberal activist judges Clinton or Obama would appoint, you can count on those judges being anti-Second Amendment.
