Hi ohioWfan.
We’ve had a conversation before and I don’t find you to be an unreasonable person, but you have to realize what is going on here.
People are tired of being told who they MUST vote for, and are fighting back, because we don’t want another ‘liberal’ in the Whitehouse.
There comes a time when you must decide if you want to have conservative values returned to this nation, as the founders had originally started with, Or do you just want to be ‘in control’ no matter the cost to those ideals and values?
Would returning to conservative values mean possibly sacrificing the Whitehouse and maybe more?
Possibly, but there has to come a time when people must decide what is right over what is expedient.
Yes, we could throw our support behind a ‘not so pure’ Republican. But at what cost?
I understand that you don’t support Rudy, but voting for him to keep ‘Hillary’ out is to throw away any chance of returning to conservative values. Maybe for a very long time, If not forever.
Does this mean that we, like the Jews, will ‘wander in the wilderness’ for a time?
Yes. It may. But to give up your ideals for a temporary win would be allowing the opposition to control your life and would be no win at all.
I,for one, am not willing to do that.
And, if you are a true conservative, you should not be willing to do that either.
If we lose, and I’m not convinced we will, the road back may be long and hard and the loss to the country will be tragic.
But it’s a risk that must be taken to bring this country back to where it should have been to begin with.
It will not be easy and possibly even scary, but it must be done if we want to preserve this great nation.
I only hope I am still alive when it happens.
