Flame me if you want, but why do we worry only about homosexuality and not gambling, spouse abuse, drinking, drug abuse, cheating on a spouse, licentiousness, envy, theft, DUI, sharp practices, fornication, gluttony, avarice, child abuse, sponging and 10,000 other sins and trangressions? Do you think that you aren’t judged on all those things just as a homosexual is on their particular sin? Do we deny someone the right to back a certain candidate if they’re not white as snow? Because that is the slippery slope that was mentioned earlier in the thread. Are some of the opinion that all Republicans are sinless except for homosexuals?

2DV,

Don't think I will flame you, however, I will provide you my opinion on the matter.

1. We should be concerned about all those matters.
2. We learn from the bible that Homosexuality is considered above other sins as an Abomination and is actually a condition given to those sinners who REPEATEDLY choose sin and selfishness over honoring God.(Romans Chap. 1). Furthermore, Romans Chap. 1 in describing the horribleness of this Sin, says that they not only delight in their own sin, but delight in making others sinners as well.
3. The other sins you have mentioned are not in the same category.
4. Those suffering from this sin HATE God, at least that has been my experience with those Homosexuals that I have become friends with.

If various groups of people come together to support a candidate, that does not mean that they support me or I support them. We both support Sarah. Her support for traditional marriage is well known to gays and lesbians. It must not matter to those who support her.

We have a candidate who will appeal to a wide audience. We can’t afford to make her a niche candidate. She is the kind of candidate that comes along about once every 50 years or so. She will drag these various conservatives, moderates, liberals, and independents, to her positions without compromising her values, much as Ronald Reagan did. I plan to work with whoever will help get Sarah Palin elected. The alternative is unacceptable.

Have you read Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis?
