Your rational is driving us to an unrecognizable country. Every compromise we make is towards a more liberal, Godless country. A stand has to be made. Brown showed just how ugly and immoral a man he is when he pummeled the airwaves with ads boasting his support for planned parenthood. I will be praying that more people take a similar stand and that even if it's years off, a conservative revival begins to take root.
My preference is to elect the most conservative candidate possible in every race, everywhere. I don’t see how a rational approach to politics would drive us into liberalism.
Losing either maintains or worsens the status quo.
The subject at hand in this thread is Massachusetts.I,too,have lived many,many,many years here...but not as long as you.Having spent so many years in the state I long ago realized that *Massachusetts* already is Godless.That's why,as very imperfect as he is,Scott Brown is the very best that we...that the nation...can possibly hope for from this state.When given two,and only two,choices...half a loaf or no loaf at all...I'll take half a loaf every time.Sadly,to be sure.
Having lived here as long as you have I'm surprised that you've yet to realize that Massachusetts is truly a lost cause.
