But what do you do when sticking to your principles does more harm to the cause to you want to further...

I think this is where many miss the point. The cause is not keeping Hillary from the White House, nor is the cause low taxes. The cause is Christ and His kingdom! That kingdom loves and protects children, even before they are born, it prevents one man from using the tax code to steal from his neighbor, it prescribes the jurisdictional limits of the civil magistrate, and it creates civil consequences to limit the wicked acts of fallen man. The people of Christ have been preserved, purified, tested and strengthened under hostile rulers in the past. But they have never flourished when they have compromised Christ. The kingdom is advanced when the people of Christ overcome by the blood of the lamb, the power of their testimony and do not love their own lives unto death.

Um, dude, prior to 1860, EVERY politician of the major parties in every presidential race, save JQ Adams, was pro-slavery in one form or another. How Would Jesus Vote?

I'll tell you, and it's damn easy: He's ask the Father's guidance, and vote for someone. He sure wouldn't sit out. That would be sin---it would be not "rendering to Caesar" by not participating, and trusting the Lord to give you guidance. So I guarantee you, if the choice were Rudy or Hillary, I have no question whatsoever He would vote for Rudy. If God can work through Cyrus and Darius---pagans---he can sure work through a nominal Catholic like Rudy.

I'm repeatedly stunned by Christians who think God can't work through the lesser of two evils, and to give them guidance as to which that lesser is. Sounds like a lack of faith to me---or worse, a case of "Holy-Rollerness" Pharisee-ism.

Amen! People need to turn away from this temptation of compromising with evil.
