But at what point do you compromise your beliefs for temporary expediency? I am a Christian. Christians have, since the first century, viewed abortion as murder. By voting for a candidate who is pro abortion I am voting for a candidate that is pro murder.

I compromise all the time in the candidates that I support. In tax, economic, and foreign policy, you pick the best one.

But this is something so fundamental, I can't compromise. For once you start, where do you stop? At what point does the GOP just become the DNC light?

Don't hit me with the "the other guy is worse!" argument. That is a campaign on emotion. Run on the issues, because if you keep screaming "THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION EVER! DON'T LET THE DNC WIN!" while selling out those like me who have values, don't be surprised if we stop trusting you. In short, you are saying that you would vote for Hillary if she had an (R) by her name.

No, because she is basically the polar opposite of everything that I believe in, and she is exactly what we will end up with when we have a bunch of one issue voters running around.

Go ahead, let the rats win. Won't be long before women are given a 30 day grace period to whack their babies after their born. Then you can sit back and be proud of standing up for your beliefs.

My plan, on the other hand, it to fight the battle slowly and take whatever gains we can get. You keep building the momentum and eventually you get where you're wanting to go.
