Your opinion as to whether Duvall should join the Democrat party was founded on a guess regarding the man's position on one issue.


Which of the two parties has pro-choice as a central plank in their platform? Enlighten me.

That suffices.

Define pro-choice as the Democrat Party uses the term.

Then define it as Duvall was using the term, and address the questions you ignored:

What is Duvall's position regarding late term abortion?
What is his position regarding abortion for sex selection?
What is Duvall's position regarding a 20wk cutoff?

Now then.
Regarding a litany of GOP tenets:

What is Duvall's position regarding government spending?
What is Duvall's position regarding increased taxes?
What is Duvall's position regarding Obamacare?
What is Duvall's position regarding government regulation?
What is Duvall's position regarding expansion of energy independence?
What is Duvall's position regarding IRS targeting?
etc.

I think one can easily be pro-choice republican or pro-life democrat. That these two ideas have become incompatible in the US is really kind of absurd. It smacks completely of team politics.

Frankly, if I knew someone who was generally fiscally conservative but pro-choice and therefore, called themselves Democrat, I'd know they were an idiot. Vice versa too.
