Do I stop supporting people on a single issue? If it is important enough.
When I read that Obama would be open to invading Pakistan, I am reminded of a proverb that my middle-school home economics teacher attributed to Confuscius: "Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt."
I could trot out all the reasons why this is bad politics and worse foreign policy, but the media will do that and then some over the next few weeks.
Instead, my sole additiona comment is that this sort of statement coming from the "fresh and new" candidate is very discouraging.
