As I was thinking about this earlier this morning, it struck me that it doesn't fit Romney. I voted for McCain the last time, and the best that could be said about him was that he was "fair". He wasn't perfect, and he wasn't good.
In the case of Romney, the proper expression would be: "The fair is the enemy of the bad." Willing to vote for someone who is only fair, I have had to reject Romney as being bad. He instituted $50 abortions and gay marriage licenses in Massachusetts. By no means is he good or even fair.
"The fair is the enemy of the bad?" And Romney is the "fair" in this proposition? Who notwithstanding he does not measure up to our requirements and expectations — being only "fair" — would still be the "enemy of the bad?"
I don't know whether I understand your logic here, dear brother in Christ.
But what I am fairly confident about is this: You have drawn a line in the sand. And not only will you not step over it; but you will not allow your opponent to step over it, either. You pledge your life, your fortune, your sacred honor to this end.
You are defending Life and Truth. And will take no prisoners....
You are needful on the American battlefield, as a warrior of God's Truth.
You are a soldier in/for/of Christ. I am so grateful to you, and respect and honor you for your commitment to our Lord.
If we continue to disagree, maybe that has something to do with different points of view and/or, perhaps, different callings.
In any case, thank you so very much, dear brother in Christ, for your testimony, your "voice," and for your inspiring spiritual strength!
