You sound exactly like a Godless liberal. I guess you are either one or the other, or both, since you just admitted that you were sneering at Christian Conservatives.
Not targeted to anyone in particular:
A vote for Romney is a vote against everything conservatism stands for. It is every bit as bad as a vote for Obama since you get the same result. A liberal. Either way America is toast.
Sticking with one’s principles is what this country was founded upon - regardless of the outcome. I defy any “I will vote for Romney because...” type to factually refute that statement.
Anyone willing to support a man that supports gay marriage, abortion et all is no conservative and religion has squat to do with it. Nor can they claim otherwise based on conservative principles.
Bottom line. Fear rules them. Not what is right, not what is just. Fear. The FEAR of Obama will lead them to vote for a man with a track record of hostility to conservatives every bit as great as Obama.
His record does not lie. Yet many here willingly lie to themselves. Because the truth scares them so much.
And as his been said, this site in it’s introductory statement BEGINS with “God”. Romney begins, and ends with “Mitt”.
Personally I’ll write in Palin, Newt or myself before I vote Romney. And the cards can fall where they may. On a simmilar thread a few days back a man in fear of Obama said that was a “John Wayne” attitude or some such and this was the real world.
“MY” real world does not include voting for liberals even if there’s official GOP support involved. My real world is one where integrity matters and cowards do not. And lastly, my real world is a place where a country willing to vote for a liberal in republican clothing is not the America I want, nor remember.
Considering that I wrote "If what you mean by ‘faithful’ is ‘I want to dictate to everyone exactly how they should live their lives (as I interpret it via my faith)" and that you take that to mean the above... it stands to reason that your idea of a good Christian is one that dictates what others do and think.
Therefore, I will be a good Christian for you. I order you to tithe 10% of your earnings to charity and to only speak good of others. Furthermore, you will not view porn on the internet as I define it. Failure to comply will result in criminal proceedings against you, jail time, and loss of employment opportunities due to a criminal record.
Happy? I've met your unstated, but implied, mandate to be a good "Christian Conservative".
