“Do you really think that is a meaningful and realistic example to make your point?”
Look at the NY House race and ask that question again. We have the GOP party backing a pro abortion, pro homosexual Obama lover as the “future of the party.”
The example given is not far off.
The example is flawed. I wouldn’t support a man to be my rabbi if he fit your description because he would not be following Jewish law and he would be breaking civil law. Nor would I support him running for an elected office because he would be a law breaker and would need to be in jail. A socially liberal republican I would consider voting for if, for example, he were running for office in CA and was fiscally conservative, and a viable, more conservative candidate was not running.
