When people violate their own principles then its between them and God. I know that not keeping your word can hurt others, but it hurts the person not keeping their word the most. The Bible talks about keeping our word--even to our own harm. Thats tough talk.
I give Keyes a pass because I can't believe he is completely untrustworthy. I have not always kept my word. I don't think he'll win and I'm beginning to think the man is never going to win an election.
Its a different thing though if it is in the Constitution--which to my shame, I did not know this other than people in states are to represented. States can't choose who they wish to represent them? Is it unconstitutional what Keyes is doing?
It's between them and God all the way up until they ask for money from me, then I get to decide if they're principled enough for my money.
I'm not giving him the pass for a few reasons:
the residency thing is important to me, always has been
violating his word for a losing effort is not only untrustworthy, but not very bright
this hurts the national GOP
this whole this is a sad display of towel throwing by the Ill GOP
Well it looks like they actually expect me to work today, sad but true.
