	Single-issue politics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bringing together political forces based on a single intellectual or cultural common denominator can be unrealistic; though there may be considerable public opinion on one side of an argument, it does not necessarily follow that mobilizing under that one banner will bring results.
		The term single-issue voter has been used to describe voters who make decisions on who to vote for in many instances based on the candidates stance on a single issue such as whether they are "pro-life" or "pro-choice" or whether they support gun rights or gun-control.
		The existence of single issue voters can give the false impression that a candidate's overall views is supported to a greater degree then in reality.

	Progressive Commons: Focus: What's So Wrong with Single Issue Voting? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Single issue voting, in its near-plebeian desire to reduce a complex world to a series of simple absolutes is likely to create disastrous outcomes precisely because it ignores the ways in which issues interconnect.
		And this is where the arguments against single issue voting stop making sense, not because single issue voting is a good idea or even an activity without consequence, but because criticizing single issue voting requires us to take a step back and really assess what kind of voting and voting system we want.
		But I'm struck with the idea that, given the inevitability of the single issue, the most important political strategem should be one of "assigning priorities for consumption," in effect letting voters know which single issue should be their single issue.

	God and the Single-Issue Voter \| Civilities
		While it is not uncommon for a single issue like abortion to be at the center of a voter's choice, in Koch's case the single issue overrides a general disagreement with the candidate's other issues.
		A voter choosing a candidate based on a single issue must be prepared to carry the advocacy of the issue beyond election day.
		There is single issue which should confounds them: that of truth, which rests at the heart of all moral reasoning.

		But there are numerous single issues that disqualify a person from public office.
		Or a person who said that no fl people could hold office—on that single issue alone he would be unfit for office.
		Or a person who said that rape is only a misdemeanor—that single issue would end his political career.

	Single-Issue Women's Periodicals, 1968-1983 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		These single issue papers were able to relate to the particular and special area of greatest relevance to women's personal or professional lives, politically, socially, and economically.
		The issue was not as serious a problem to mass media as it was to the women who faced it, and therefore women stressed the necessity to speak for themselves on these concerns.
		Media, as a single issue, itself was the subject of at least 86 women's periodicals arising between 1968 and 1983 and probably had a greater influence on extending the women's movement and women's communication than any other of the single group of issues, excepting possibly education.

	Single-issue party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A single-issue party is a political party that only campaigns on one issue.
		Some examples are the former Greedy 40% Extra party formed to protest against the increase in politician wages, and the Bloc Québécois party in Canada, formed to call for the separation of Quebec.
		Green parties and Marijuana Parties, which exist in a number of countries were based around single issues.

	Lords Hansard text for 17 May 1995 (150517-06)
		The single issue groups concentrating on a single issue are apt to obtain an inordinate influence—in other words, an influence in achieving objectives which are not really acceptable to the bulk of their fellow citizens.
		The pattern of single issue groups and pressure groups, protest groups and so forth whose role is to try to move government policy to their view, is one of bewildering profusion and overlap and is too varied for simple classification.
		Single issue pressure groups perform the essential task of drawing the attention of the public, and of the Government, to issues and factors which might otherwise be overlooked or disregarded.

		Single Issue Voting by Jeffrey Mirus Most people find it very hard to look terrible evil in the face and confront it directly.
		Rather, the issues on which you disagree are likely to be (in your view) relatively minor.
		One can argue that abortion is a unique issue, or at least bound up with a set of unique issues, that strike at the heart of how we view the human person and the fundamental right to life itself.

	Right To Life: Single issue or disqualifying issue? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Single issue groups have always played an important role in American politics from the colonists' single issue of "taxation without representation" to the abolitionists' single issue of slavery to the Vietnam War protesters.
		Abortion is the "disqualifying issue" for the pro-life voter.
		Of course not, because that single issue is important enough to disqualify a candidate.

		So, a big gun in the abortionists' grab bag of diversionary arguments is "single issue politics." The press and politicians make hot headlines with this fad, and, thereby, try to undermine the efforts of prolifers, especially during election time.
		Our country was begun with the single issue "No taxation without representation!" Now, abortionists, with their immoral mindset, use "single issue" as a dirty word when applied to prolifers' efforts to defend innocent preborn human beings.
		Prolifers are "single issue" focused, and shall not go on the defensive against abortionists taunting.

	The Morality of Single-Issue Voting
		The overriding issue for a voter could be the size of the defense budget or the possibility of a grain embargo.
		The single issue that is potentially overriding for the individual voter may or may not be an issue that is treated by the media as a “single issue.”
		For in such cases the issue serves the candidate, whereas in matters of high principle the candidate is to serve the issue.

	"Single Issue" Voters (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		I used to be a moderate voter, I looked at all the candidates positions on all the issues and balanced their ability to reason and work for consensus against their opinions with which I might disagree.
		Unfortunately, on the gun control issue, I think why so many urbanites and to a slightly lesser degree, suburbanites buy into it is that they don't have good places to shoot, generally can't conceive of hunting since nobody they know does it and it is nowhere close anyway.
		And of course those one issue voters will say it wasn't his fault (just like all his other screw ups), but he's their guy so it's to be expected.

		The term "Single Issue Terrorism" is broadly accepted as extremist militancy on the part of groups or individuals protesting a perceived grievance or wrong usually attributed to governmental action or inaction.
		The abortion issue, however, is complicated by a religious dimension foreign to the animal rights and environmental questions and draws adherents on both sides from across the political spectrum.
		The abortion issue is an emotional one, particularly in relation to the pro-life movement and, as a result, the agenda is sometimes captured by extremists.

	Confessions of a "Single Issue Voter"
		Not saying your issue is irrelevent but, if you don't like the single issues others find important, don't come crying if some consider your issue something not worth getting worked up about.
		I understand that there are issues people feel so strongly about that they feel the need to magnify these feelings, and communicate them dramatically to politicians, by becoming single issue voters.
		If a person is a single issue voter the answer is no. I'm a multi-issue voter, guns, immigration/visas, the constitution, crime, education, getting us out of the U.N., and last but for sure not least abortion.

	Terrorism Is Not a Crime!
		Before we get to work on the economy and social issues, we need to make sure that our children and grand children won't have their flesh splattered on the walls of an ice cream parlor by a homicide bomber motivated by a religious cleric intent on killing as many civilians as possible.
		Recently France went on high alert because of the fear that they were going to be the target of a major terror attack, in Iraq they have had two of their journalists kidnapped and threatened with beheading.
		That is the issue facing much of the world even though nations such as France (and since being attacked earlier in the year, Spain) are still convinced that if they keep their heads in the sand long enough the problem will just go away.

		Abortion As a Single Issue is a Poor Criterion for Election
		As we begin 1980 and approach the general elections in November, one issue appears to be emerging from former obscurity to dominance in the minds of many voters, and may in some cases decide the outcome of particular contests.
		It concerns the right of a woman to choose a safe, legal abortion when compelling reasons in her life make the prospect of a full term pregnancy and an unwanted birth an insuperable burden for what may be emotional, physical or financial reasons.

	Abortion as a Single-Issue
		Certainly, pro-lifers know that other "issues" besides abortion exist, and pro-lifers everywhere are in fact actively involved in addressing a host of other issues.
		This is why the US bishops have called abortion "the fundamental human rights issue" and have explained that a consistent ethic of life is fully compatible with a priority attention to abortion.
		Ask those children if they think that being saved from abortion is a "single issue." No, for each of them it is every issue; it is life itself, and all the gifts that life will bring to this world.

		And that single issue is the re-election of the Labor party.
		In true Likud manner, Sharon then proved he was a single-issue candidate and that his single issue was the restoring of Labor to power.
		At first, he did so by adopting as his own pet the mangy stray dog that Amram Mitzna had try to run past the voters as his own election platform: the unilateral capitulation by Israel to the PLO and the eviction of all Jews from the Gaza Strip.

	The Fire Ant Gazette - A Midland, Texas Blog \| ""Single Issue Voter"? Yeeaah, Baby!"
		Last decade, there was a great condescending hue and cry by political pundits over the phenomenon of "Single Issue Voters." These are people who tend to fixate on one issue or cause and vote for a candidate based on his or her stance on that issue.
		For a brief second, back in the 90s, I was one of those people who tended to looked skeptically upon the "Single Issue Voter." Logically, it just made sense that we should view candidates in the totality of their beliefs, positions, dogma.
		I'm not a single issue voter, but I tend to vote for candidates who are pro-life anyway.

		Usually this is said in the context of the so-called "War on Terror", and usually with the implication that fighting terrorism is the single issue by which their choice of President is weighed.
