If the GOP is concerned about keeping Hillary out of the White House, they need to step up to the plate and give me a candidate that I can vote for.

I don’t have to answer to you for how I vote, but I do have to answer to God. I’d rather please Him than you. Rudy will never get my vote.

Of course you do not have to answer to me. That’s just dumb.

If you think it pleases God for you to use your vote in such a way (by withholding it or voting third party) that a greater evil triumphs, by all means, knock yourself out.

My conscience would not allow me to do that.

Further, how are you responsible for the choice you are confronted with in November, so long as you have done all you could to get “your” man nominated?

If your efforts don’t succeed in getting “your” candidate nominated, your conscience is still clear. At that point, you have to “render under Caeser” and give your vote to the major political party that will do, or potentially will do, the least damage to the nation.

Golly, if everybody in the Republican party held your point of view, our government would be wall-to-wall liberals with no end in sight.

Fortunately, some people will keep fighting, even if Election Day comes and their choices-—which are not of their own making-—stink.

And what do they get from the “cut and run” crowd? A bunch of high and mighty hooey about how they are too righteous to participate in the very secular process of civil government.
