RE: God detests ALL sin in equal measure, but his Word makes it clear that you shall know them by their deeds.

I don’t think Prager disagrees with you here. He is arguing however that out of all sins, we should not focus single mindedly on adultery to the exclusion of others.

Let’s put it this way, given the choice between a known adulterer who publicly acknowledged his sin and wants to move on, with GOOD, CONSERVATIVE POLICIES, and a man who has been faithful to his wife but with BAD, LIBERAL POLICIES, what should a good conservative religious person do?

A) Vote for the flawed conservative
B) Vote for the liberal
C) Stay home

With respect, that's a false choice. A good conservative religious person should realize that he or she is accountable to God for his or vote. I'm not staying home, but the person who gets my vote will be one whom I can trust. I still have that option, and if the GOP doesn't nominate someone who reaches my standards, that person will not get my vote. Period.

I don't vote single-mindedly on adultery and I know that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

I'd just like to know that the person I vote for is not willing to take moral shortcuts on other issues when he's already got a track record of taking shortcuts in an area where good judgment is essential.

I'd also like to see some of those "good, conservative policies" from Gingrich. What I'm seeing now is a flip-flopper who used to be conservative and is now a Beltway insider, as has been exhaustively documented on this site.

For now, I'll take Bachmann, who we know hasn't been in anyone else's bed but the one she shares with her husband. Then Santorum. Then, maybe, Perry.
