So long as a better candidate is available, isn't that so? If the alternatives are actually worse, then the rule is to do the least harm possible, is it not?

As I mentioned in my previous post, I don't object to those who support somebody else or even those who state why they can't support Giuliani, as you just did.

My problem is with those who savage him (or any other candidate), apparently hoping to wound him so badly from within that he can't be a viable candidate. That's the democrats' job.

Yes that is the general application.

Amen.

And is it actually Catholic doctrine that, in a situation of two evils, one should strive to do the least harm possible?

Would that it were so.
