No matter how much you disagree with Rudy if he’s the candidate of the party and you sit out the vote, or vote for a third party candidate, knowing full well he or she can’t win you are in essence casting a vote for the opposition.

Bull. If you sell your soul to a demon so that you win an election, the devil still holds the deed, FRiend.

You folks that seem to think winning, with or wothout principle, is all that matters don't appear to understand that the choice to not vote or to vote away from the Republican party is a matter of conscience for some. It is a matter of sin. In this context, avoiding the sin of commission is what is important to many.

So, instead of railing about the devotion to core values of those who will not support a New York style liberal Republican, perhaps you should examine why you find your own core values expendable.

You make some good points. But look at it this way. Let’s say we could accurately foretell the number of abortions that would take place under a Hillary presidency compared to the number under a Rudy presidency. You can choose any two candidates you want, the names make no difference. Let’s say that under Hillary there would be 1.5 million abortions, but under Rudy that number would fall to less than a million. How are you not in part responsible for the 600 or 700 thousand or so deaths of babies that would not happened if you had voted for Rudy instead of sitting it out.

If a Christian does everything in his or her power to get a true pro-life candidate nominated but the effort falls short and a Rudy is instead nominated I don’t feel the Christian has the luxury of not supporting the lesser of two evils in the general election.

I am not saying that YOU should or should not vote for Rudy if he’s the nominee, and certainly do not condemn you for whatever course you choose. But it’s the simple truth that if you sit out the election or vote for a third party candidate who has no chance of winning, you effectively voting for the greater of the two evils.

You are awfully loose with your accusations regarding my core values. Perhaps you should consider it more of a matter of me seeing it differently from you than a defect in my core values.

Voting for the lesser of two evils is not selling your soul to win an election. When it comes down to the general elections or of the other of the two candidates is going to win. In my book I have an obligation to support the lesser of two evils, in essence to vote to save the lives of those half million or more babies.

Our task at this point is to stand up and support a pro-life candidate to assure that Rudy doesn’t become our nominee. Personally I think that would just about the worst outcome I can imagine. The only worse outcome would be to have Hillary elected.
