Maybe you should be asking those questions of the people you vote for, Johnnie.

That is an assumption on your part. I am hoping I do not have to make that choice. We don't have a nominee yet even though it seems a large segment of the Conservative movement is waving the white flag for Rudy all ready. What I asked, and you still have not answers, is this.

Is it "standing on principal" when by doing so you actually harm the principals you are suppose to be standing on?

I would gather that them abandoning the sanctity of life is based upon ego

I guess I missed that. I did not hear they were pulling all the pro Life planks out of the party platform and adopting the Democrats pro Death platform. In that case you are right.

What if Republicans suddenly became in favor of raising taxes. Or what if they suddenly wanted to form a gang of 14. Or what if they wanted to take guns away from law abiding citizens.What if they wanted to engage in doubling or tripling pork.

In which case I would also agree with you that it is time to find a new party Except for that last one about pork, they all ready have DONE that.

There is no ego involved with following Christ

No but there is ego in assuming one's personal political opinions and God's will are one and the same. If Fred or Rudy or Mitt or McCain or Ron Paul is the nominee, despite my personal opinions and efforts, is that God's will?

Which has more integrity? The one who keeps fighting when all looks blackest or is it integrity to throw up your hands and say "these guys aren't my guy so a pox on everything and everyone in that party"?

I will never understand how someone could let the empty glass win instead of taking a chance on the half full glass when the half full glass is the only one who can beat the empty glass. Just stupid!
