“Obama came to power in part because Obama KNOWS that Republicans are unforgiving of our own.”

That’s asinine. You mean like John McCain? Hardly the upright politician. Your accusation is about as air tight as a convertible submarine.

“Obama ran, at first, against a Republican who has been through a messy divorce, for his US Senate Seat.”

Is this your proof? Anecdotal. Correlation doesn’t automatically imply causation. Better yet, prove that this “messy divorce” was the SOLE reason the Republican lost the race.

“...Republicans like you out there, who think that you are some type of lofty St. Peter, guarding the pearly gates, rather than a humble, practical, realistic person trying win political battles.”

Interesting, the way you use the word “judgment” like a gunfighter AND ad hominem attacks in the same paragraph. We conservatives base our decisions in voting on leaders of character and integrity, unlike liberals.

The whole reason we have RINO’s is because American’s compromised their principles, or were mislead.

It’s not about numbers. Math doesn’t write/decide policy, human’s do. And if that human is a leader of low character, you can expect compromise in a way that is destructive to the conservative platform.

“Politics is NOT about saving souls”

Pick a lane, buddy, and stay in it. Whose talking about souls saving?

“Politics is about getting souls that agree with us to the polls!”

In examining your words, it’s obvious you have no standards.

I don't want a cop in uniform who can't shoot straight.

I don't want a member of the military, in uniform, who can't shoot straight.

I don't want a fireman who can't climb a ladder, or is afraid of fire.

In no case, above, do the life and death decisions those people make have much to do with their PRIVATE behavior.

If you will look at what I have posted, I have NEVER said that personal morality was NOT an issue, or that it should NOT be considered: In fact, yes, personal ethics and morality ARE important.

Especially when we are left with nothing else to go on, about a candidate.

However, personal morality is important only so much as it gives us an idea as to how much we can trust our candidates to vote the way they promised us they would vote, during the campaign.

Let me put the question to you, directly:

If you ahd two choices, a Republican Conservative who had cheated on his wife, and a liberal Democrat, who seemed to be loyal to his or her spouse:

Who would YOU vote for?

Also, you seem to know little about Obama’s history.

Obama has a political habit of controlling who he runs against, and of removing adversaries from the ballot altogether.

You ask for an impossible “proof” to my claim, for who could say, for certain, that Obama would not have won, if not for his gross misconduct in pushing for the release of his opponents divorce records.

However, there is a REASON why Democrats want to trash Republicans, by going after their personal lives:

Democrats know that many Republicans, like YOU, care more about stroking their own egos, in some kind of moralistic, self-congratulatory masturbation, than they care about actually stopping liberal legislation or advancing conservative legislation.

Politics is about POLICY!

Shooting down our own leaders, due to personal failures, does NOT help the conservative cause.
