ALL: Over the next almost 7 months, there will be countless attempts like this one to "guilt you" into voting for a socialist pro-abortion pro-liberal judge appointing "I'm a god."
Whenever you encounter them, think of this parallel:
Who is culpable -- besides the GoP-e -- for giving us Romney to begin with?
...It's kind of like a relative coming to you and asking if you approve of the guy she's chosen for marriage...
...You frankly, repeatedly, with full reasons why -- including a careful background search of the guy -- tell the female relative, "No, he's not the right guy for you."
...Then guess what happens?
Surprise, surprise! The "marriage" doesn't last very long...
But guess who the ex-bride will blame for the "marriage" not working out???
Yup...'twas your fault...
Tho you tried & tried & tried to warn her that it wouldn't proceed very far, she just wouldn't listen...
And what is almost as bad -- the ex-bride's family & friends temporarily rallied behind her to extol this guy to the world as being a true "catch"...They hid from the world all the horrible things they knew about him, and became apologists for him re: the trail of aborted babies he left behind in previous relationships...
And now the ex-bride's reputation for life is forever linked with this sorest apology of a guy (let alone not living up to the "god in embryo" he is touted to be)...And these cheerleaders-from-hell who endorsed the bridegroom...the ones who would betray the womb...betray the cause against socialism?
Why, they've become -- with it growing daily -- marginalized. Silenced.
Their vocal chords & keyboards vs. socialism & abortion & liberalism have been "traded in."
They are like Jacob of the Bible, who traded his inheritance for a bowl of lentil soup. In this case, they have traded their Free Republic heritage for a "lentil soup" candidate, all because they refuse to "taste" defeat in April and want to delay the hunger pangs of defeat until November.
We're all temporary losers here. The difference here is that we're discerning it now; some people will need to be hit over the head in November to come to their political senses.
They are like Esau (not Jacob) of the Bible, who traded his inheritance for a bowl of lentil soup. In this case, they have traded their Free Republic heritage for a "lentil soup" candidate, all because they refuse to "taste" defeat in April and want to delay the hunger pangs of defeat until November.
You might want to check your ‘Jacob’ reference.
Hi Colofornian,
Your analogy would be more suitable if the bride (the USA), brought two grooms to you to decide who she will marry (elect as President). Both of which do not meet your standards. But she will marry one anyway.
Now which one do you pick? The one with the least problems? (Remember she WILL marry one of the two.) Or would you foolishly pick the one with the most problems?
Or just as bad, you pick one she won’t marry (a candidate with no chance of winning) or no one at all. Now you have left the decision up to her and she might pick the worst one of the two.
...Luckily, the marriage will only last 4 years and not forever. So in the meantime, you can counsel her on her next groom... someone you approve of.
