Too bad then...
Unfortunately the pattern you outline is going to continue IMO....
I do not necessarily disagree. The R voters are the wild card.
Neither can I. Sad, isn’t it? Well, Billy Graham is still alive. Do you like his son?
Yes, he seems to be a good man, but I never hear very much about him.
He’s occasionally on Sean Hannity’s radio program and he sounds good. But he’s not all over the place the way someone like Falwell was in the 80s. He probably is never invited on tv.
It’s really too bad that he isn’t on TV. Is he ever on the radio, I wonder? He is 62, but he could have quite a few years of influence if he chose.
Sorry, but for sincere, committed Christians, everything is about religion
Sorry. I meant to say in my last post that he should have a radio show of his own. Like Bishop Sheen did back in the day.
I just checked his Wikipedia page and he has no radio show - that would be helpful. He’s fully engaged, it seems, in philanthropic groups. He lives in Boone, N.C. - I just drove through that area. Lovely.
He seems to be one of those people who prefers to live a quiet life with his family, and tries to balance that with his work. Not an easy task.
My vote is like a purchase.
Why would I buy something I do not want? So the other thing I do not want doesn’t get bought?
I vote for those who best represent my views. I also have core beliefs that if a candidate does not share, I can not vote for them. Because that would make me complicate in that sin.
If the candidate wants my vote (or anyone else’s) they had better reflect the product I want to buy. Guilt tripping the conservatives to vote for the “lesser” liberal will not work long term. If you are going to vote that way, go full strength.

Mine isn’t a religion....it’s a relationship.
You should know the difference.
Ok—that’s the most articulate & honest response I’ve gotten on the thread!
Thank you!
Not voting for a liberal is not voting for Obama or Romney.
There is ZERO DIFFERENCE between Obama, Hillary, Romney and any of the Bushes. They are ALL pro-abortion, pro-amnesty, anti-limited government liberals.
Our Republic is exactly the same today as it would have been if Romney had won two years ago or McCain had won six years ago. We were always going to have out-of-control spending, open borders, amnesty and socialized medicine.
Keep in mind that the template for Obamacare is Romneycare. It was Romney who ushered in same-sex "marriage". If Romney had a "D" after his name and didn't change any of his policies, he would be the most important Democrat in America.
Makes a whole lot of sense! Especially if you want to win elections.
I was born in 1967 and 1988 was the first election I could vote in. I have voted in seven presidential elections and conservatives lost every single one of them. I am no longer willing to act as if electing someone with an "R" after their name is a victory.
I’m by NO MEANS a GOP fan. I’m more Tea Party than anything. Still, the fact remains, those who didn’t vote cost CONSERVATIVES the election.
Again, the last time the GOP nominated a conservative for president was in 1984.
Lesser of two evils so to say, you don’t see it that way fine....I don’t see it your way.
The lesser of two evils is still evil. The road to hell is paved with good intentions and that is what you are advocating.
I have used this tactic several times....it does make the THINKING person stop....but it has to be delivered in a winsome manner. If you bash them hatefully with the argument, they ignore your words and hate you back.

Either you’re relationship with Christ is a 100% commitment or it is worthless and meaningless. That translates to pleasing God in all facets in your life including politics. Which means you can no more vote for a Republican (Romney) that supports Abortion than u can for a Democrat. But you should already know that.
or it is
