Lets say you elect a Pro-Life democrat to the Senate. then that guy becomes the 51st Democrat Senator. That gives the Dems control of the senate and while this one Dem Senator may be Pro-life, you have an Pro-Abortion adjenda getting pushed.
That is not to say that one should vote for liberal Republicans. But when national politics awe concerned, you have to weigh in the fact that both the House and Senate get controled by the national party, not just the guy you are electing.
And socialism is EVIL.

They may have the majority on paper, but if the members don't vote with them, they won't have the majority on the floor. I know plenty of office holders who will not vote the party line if it violates their values. Some of them it has cost them chairmanships etc.
