And if that statement pisses you off - then good - it means the Spirit is pricking your conscience and there is truth in that statement.

It appears you are the only one pissed off. Project much?

Vote for whomever you want - but apparently that liberty does not extend to the rest of us

I never said you can't vote for whomever you want. Feel free. You can't, however, free yourself from the fact that actions have consequences. And those predictable consequences go far in determining the merit of your action. Since that action, repeated by enough voters in a close election such as this, aids in re-electing Obama, what does that say about the merit of it?

“The only cure” makes my point and contention that many such people are committing idolatry - and by default, lofting Romney to messianic and savior status.

Nice straw man, which you then rant about for half your post. Quite obviously, the next president will be either Romney or Obama. Arguments otherwise are pointless. So, yes, if you want Obama gone, and consider him a disease, then Romney is the 'cure', to complete the analogy.

So, vote for Virgie, vote for Tom Huff and Puff, shoot, vote for Billy Graham if you're looking for a just and right candidate. The rest of us will actually do something that will defeat the enemy that is Obama.

Yes. Like putting politics before God while surrendering principles resulting in election after election where the only choice handed to us is to vote for the lesser of two evils. We've devolved to the point we are left with a choice between a Democrat Socialist or a Marxist, whose records are antithetical to biblical faith and the Conservative ideology. The nation slides inexorably LEFT and as a consequence; is become hostile to God and biblical principles when they see them displayed.

And those predictable consequences go far in determining the merit of your action. Since that action, repeated by enough voters in a close election such as this, aids in re-electing Obama, what does that say about the merit of it?

You're stuck on looking only at a political savior - instead of the root cause that got us here to begin with. The consequences of which in themselves spell doom for both the Republic, and potentially, lots of souls. The bible is replete with examples of peoples and nations who thought they could choose expedience over righteousness. Choosing what they wanted in terms of what they saw as 'good'. In every case, they ended up destroying themselves by their insistence and rose up against God's servants who were sent to warn them of the consequences they were sowing for themselves.

If voting for a Democrat Socialist over an overt Marxist somehow spells salvation in your book - have at. Where you people cross the line is when you castigate those of us who stand on principles and faith and declare that the consequences of OUR actions somehow lead to your harm. If that be the case - then liberty is already extinct in this country and it doesn't matter if we vote at all anyway.

Quite obviously, the next president will be either Romney or Obama.

Then quit bitching at those of us voting our principles then. You don't need our help to elect your political savior - and Romney made it clear as a bell he doesn't want Conservatives beyond our votes anyway. So pound sand pal.

if you want Obama gone, and consider him a disease, then Romney is the 'cure', to complete the analogy.

Romney is NO 'cure' of anything. He's a symptom of a deathbed society that champions government over God. According to people like you - voting for a Democrat Socialist who eschews Conservatives is somehow a 'cure' to a Marxist. You cannot get much more pathetic than that. Romney is the sum of half a population of lukewarm and wayward people that can no longer discern good from evil.

The rest of us will actually do something that will defeat the enemy that is Obama.

You go ahead and think that. I'm thinking past November.
