A) Nobody brought up your favorite candidate.
B) You analogy doesn't hold water. If I'm a single issue voter than each time someone violates my single issue I'm going to be against it. And I can have more than one single issue. So, I'm against biometric chipping. Somebody supports that I'm not going to vote for him. Funding global initiatives? That's kind of vague. Is your favorite candidate against funding the U.N.? (I haven't heard him say that).
In 2008 my "single issues" were 1) you had to be against the Iraq war and preferably from the beginning 2) you had to be against the unPatriot Act 3) you had to be against the Department of Homeland inSecurity.
Was I wrong for ruling out any candidate that failed on any one of those 3 issues? I don't think so. You're free to disagree. Now I was a democrat up until 2008. I liked Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul. Both hit all 3 of my "single issues." What tipped the scale to Ron Paul? Dennis Kucinich was antigun. By that time I was convinced that 9/11 was an inside job. So I thought to myself "If I can't trust the government to not kill innocent Americans, how can I trust it to disarm Americans? And...I have a problem with a politician who can't see that." I STILL like Dennis Kucinich! If Ron had not been running in the primary I would have voted for Dennis. If Dennis had somehow want the Democratic nomination I would have voted for him over McCain in the general election. In 2020 I voted for Democrat Tulsi Gabbard in the primary. Trump had no (real) competition. We'll see how this election cycle plays out.
