Bush and his ilk fight tooth and nail to end abortion. That proves that they respect life? If they respected life, they would continue to advocate for children. They would not cut money for programs that help produce happy and healthy children.

Sending grown men and woman..that signed up to be in the Armed Forces..whether they agree with the cause or not..to war..is quite different than protecting the right for an innocent child to be born into this world.
And as far as this overshadowing the beliefs that Christians hold..I guess it just depends on what is important to an individual. I could not in good conscience vote for a person that in any way shape or form validates the union of a man and a man..or a woman and a woman. God destroyed a city for it in the OT and he specifically says in the NT that its not acceptable. Now to some "christians" this isn't important...but too many..it is VERY important. And the fact that a person values a woman's choice over the life of an innocent child is more than enough to overshadow other "issues".. for some. BUt again..if one doesn't hold these values near and dear to them...I could see how it wouldn't matter to them.
