My spiritual convictions will not allow me to vote for Giuliani. I am not alone in this. That is why I'm arguing so strongly against Giuliani. I want to have someone that I can vote for in the general. I don't want to see the Republican Party lose the general as they would if Giuliani is the nominee. There's a significant number of people whose Christian faith will prevent them from casting a vote for Giuliani. Your sophistry will not exceed their beliefs. We don't need an unacceptable, divisive candidate like Giuliani. We need a candidate who appeals to a broad spectrum of voters who isn't absolutely offensive to a group of traditional voters necessary to electing a Republican to the Presidency.
I respect your spiritual convictions, Spiff.
But what is before you not sophistry.
It is an ethical dilemma.
This is not an easy situation.
Voting for Giulliani is morally unacceptable to you.
But not voting for Giuliani has dire consequences and very real moral implications as well.
All I ask is that you appreciate the complexity and weigh one against the other.
And if there exists an alternative who can fight the war and defeat hillary, he/she will become apparent as this process progresses. Thus far, I see no one. I think Mitt Romney is an impressive fellow, but, sadly, 40% of the electorate won't vote for him because he is Mormon.
