National Security trumps (har har) all other issues this election cycle.

Please go to the link and support Senator Webb.

Jim Webb is the best candidate running for president -- by far.

Besides graduating from Annapolis at the top of his class, being first in his class of 243 lieutenants at the Basic School, being a platoon and company commander and winning a Navy Cross, Silver Star, two Bronze Stars and two Purple Hearts in Viet Nam, he was a committee general counsel, congressional staffer, official in the Defense Department, SecNav and senator, he is a NY Times best selling author, has the screenwriting credit for "Rules of Engagement" and he even has a bleeping EMMY.

But the thing that is so awesome is that he resigned as SeNav in protest of what the SecDef asked him to do. It blew me away at the time. Who does that? The story is that the SecDef Carlucci asked him to misrepresent facts to the Congress. He laid it on Carlucci at the time. Awesome. Specifically he was asked to misrepresent the usefulness of a new class of Navy warships.

I would need to know that he is pro-choice and in favor of comprehensive immigration reform before he got my vote.

Capt Walter Miller - I am not a one issue voter, and as such national security is not my only issue, but just one of my important ones.

That said, I would never under any circumstances vote for an anti-choice candidate because our next president will possibly make three Supreme Court nominations, and I cannot support three anti-abortion conservative Justices stripping away what to me is a very important constitutional right.

I have many issues. I won't vote for a pro-choice candidate who is weak on foreign policy (Sanders) or who is against immigration reform. I won't vote pro-immigration reform but anti-choice (Christie, Bush).

Its a complicated process, but there are a few issue lines I won't cross, and supreme court nominations are the longest lasting legacy of a president and I won't vote in any manner that would stack the court with social conservatives. Fiscal conservatives I have no problem with (I used to be a Republican), but social conservatism (usually religious) is something I very strongly oppose.

Jim Webb tweeted: @CapeCodGunny Still a candidate. Not seeking a party nomination. Looking at every challenge in considering an independent bid.
