Failure to see "the big picture." It seemed that there were too many exercises in personal vanity and narrowly-defined political concerns to have added up to anything more than a "get-out the-vote" campaign for Virgil Goode, and the "stay-at-home-and-not-vote" crowd who protested the very candidacy of Mitt Romney because they detested his theology.

Forgive me, but I doubt that such people are even serious when it comes to political matters. They just want to have "their own way" as quickly as possible, and they are not patient. To me, I cannot see how such a thing is NOT an exercise in personal vanity pure and simple, with a fan club joined to it....

How would you have FR act differently [next time]?

Really do try to see the big picture. Otherwise, we'll just be fools again, the next time out. And have no one to blame for our failure to effectively defend our cherished Constitutional Republic — for ourselves, and our Posterity.

You made that up about Romney and FR, the GOP has never come close to running such a hard left, pro-abortion whack case as Romey is.

Abortion, the gay agenda, Romneycare, guns, his personal life of leaving the party because of Reagan and becoming a democrat fund raiser, the Boy Scout issue, trying to homosexualize the military, draft evasion, Planned parenthood, etc, etc, etc.......

What “big picture” do you want us to see in 2016?

The really big picture is we need God’s help more than we need anything else, and picking a candidate who thinks he’s gonna BE God eventually is taking a slap at God, not the best way to ask Him for help.

So what purpose does it serve, really, to question the motives of people with deep and sincere religious beliefs, just because they actually acted according to those beliefs? Trust me, no “big picture” is big enough if it doesn’t account for pleasing God with our political choices. We are Christians, not relativists. We can’t “sin that good may come of it.” That’s not who we are or ever will be. The real solution is to not pick GOP candidates that are guaranteed to alienate so many GOP voters.
