If that is the price that I have to pay, then I am willing to pay it. I will not compromise my core principles for the sake of expediency. We have survived many bad presidencies and with God's help we will survive many more. But if we sacrifice our principles and actively seek to elect those who would literally sacrifice our posterity on the altar of economic prosperity, then we will not be able to count on God's help any more.
IF we abandon principles and abandon God, then God may very well abandon us. I will not vote for a pro-Abortion candidate of any party. I am not the only one. I will not abandon what I believe to be the most important issue of our lifetime simply to put a roadblock in the way of power hungry democrats. Let the democrats elect their pro-abortion candidates. That is their issue. They can have it. If we cannot muster the courage to put up a viable choice on that issue, then we don't deserve to lead.
And you're willing to take the rest of the country to hell with you, huh?
This thread is a waste of time. RINO lovefest. But I admire your courage and your principled position. The only hope for the country is that millions of people just like you will get off their butts and act.
That's very sane logic.
PS: There aren't millions out there like you.
Actually, abortion lost its #1 premier issue position on 9-11-01. We are now in a fight for Western Civilization, which includes freedom of religion.
After that war is won, if it’s won, we can reassess what Western Civilization is, if we’re a pro-abortion or pro-life society, condone homosexual marriage, etc. But without that basic freedom, the rest is meaningless.
I don’t think I’d be abandoning my principles by supporting someone for POTUS whose personal beliefs on those social issues might be different from mine, so long as s/he would continue the fight to preserve the freedoms granted us in the Bill of Rights and various amendments to the Constitution. That fight would include appointing to SCOTUS justices who can read and interpret rather than rewrite the Constitution.
