For myself personally, I've gone through a shift in thinking. The "party" is not voting in unity which renders the platform meaningless. I think it's time to lay "party" aside and look deeply into the individual. Unwavering support for life has got to be engrained in the fabric of a candidate's character before I will even consider him/her.
Secondly, those who would say that security is our #1 priority I would say this. Are we so limited today in the United States of America to have only ONE #1 priority? Is our congress so inept that they cannot or will not agressively legislate a constructive and restorative path for our nation? Life has become so irrevalent to our government and it is the key to our security in my opinion. For as a God-fearing American, I know where our "security" really comes from.
After all these years with a "Republican Platform", the little ones have been piling up to the throne of heaven. God help us.
Good post PTL.
