For conservatives, it comes down to whether you can get Comrade Juan McNuts’ finger out of your eye long enough to see the ballot, swallow your principles, and vote for the lesser evil.

I know, my household has the same view. Husband is tirelessly drumming up support for “conservatives” running for the House and Senate. That's where participatory democracy must make it's mark. He is on cloud 9 with Jason Chaffetz’ win of the Republican nomination in Utah. He's pushing hard for Beaty’s candidacy in Massachusetts. We are both strongly in support of Bob Onder in Missouri. We have to participate and support those candidates we can.

As to POTUS, I pray nightly that God will give us the leadership we need — not the leadership we deserve. I will not vote for pro-abortion candidates. I will not vote for a candidate who obfuscates the issues. I will not trust my party to vet the candidates as to principles and character. I reserve that right.

We, as Americans, cannot leave the leadership of this nation to those whose self-interests prohibit the self-policing of that body. It is up to each of us to stay aware, vigilant and vocal.

At the end of the day, if the official we elect refuses to represent our interests, we should retire them with our thanks for their efforts and send someone else to give it a try.
