Agreed. (But notice you assume this won't happen under pro-abortion Republican leaders)
4-6 supreme court justices will be appointed by the next president.
As another FREEPER has pointed out, you're banking on somebody who has said "I do" and "I will be faithful" to now three wives (his most important personal commitments) to stay true to us on mere judgeships? If he thinks Roe is already a proper precedent, which he has gone on record saying, that how do we know that he doesn't already embrace Roe as something that's not re-constructionist?
To claim if your guy doesn’t win the nomination that you will work to defeat them...
Hey, I might camp out with someone whose pro-abortion. I don't think I choose them as a cohabitation partner for 4 years. So, just how long have you had this penchant for not opposing those who espouse the killing off of the next generation?
...which ensures Hitlery is the president means you are working toward ensuring the slaughter of 1.2 BILLION more children at a minimum.
When you get in a philosophical groove of picking the "lesser of two evils," you still wind up picking "evil." If you're going to start on a pure numbers' game (and again, I'm not going down this route...this is your chosen path)...Well, then Pol Pot only killed off about 1/3rd of his people. Hitler, when you include the European Jews and his opposition, a much higher %. So, you're going to tell me that just because a pack of serial murderers combined with the worst violent street gangs is but a dent compared to the above leaders, that someone who is pro-violent street gangs & pro-serial murder is A-OK as long as we can keep a reincarnated Pol Pot or Hitler out of office?
There is no way you can claim to support social conservatism and then hand the presidency to Hitlery.
Hey, I'm not the one who put forth an unelectable candidate, now am I? When a RINO loses in November, we have only the RINO voters and the conservative-turned-temporary RINO voters to blame.
Cutting off your nose to spite your face is not going to accomplish anything.
I think a more accurate "cutting off" picture is what Jesus says: If your hands causes you to sin, cut it off. Better for you go to your grave handless than for the whole self to be cast into hell. Better to stand up before God, saying, "My hand did not favor a pro-abortion politician than to have to say, 'Yeah, I know, God, I spited your Holy Face as our Creator by killing off your worksmanship, but really, I only had the best of political intentions.'"
Whoever the R nominee is, gets the support.
Well, this kind of open-ended covenant with the devil guarantees that if the anti-Christ were ever to run with an (R) [and since he'll be a miracle-worker, who knows?], well, I guess we know where your vote would go.
If you decide to not do that, then I fully expect you to delete your accounts here, and keep your mouths shut about everything that Hitlery will do to this nation for the next 8 years, and the decades beyond her policies will influence.
So, the RINOS put a RINO as nominee; he loses; and it's those who bucked the RINOS' fault. [I guess that's a good way of reversing the blame in advance].
“Well, this kind of open-ended covenant with the devil guarantees that if the anti-Christ were ever to run with an (R) [and since he’ll be a miracle-worker, who knows?], well, I guess we know where your vote would go.”
Colo, I believe your sentence here is insightful. I’d personally love to be able to support the Republican nominee. That isn’t, however, a blank check. I am a conservative. There are darned few of those in the other party and a number who are Republicans.
I’m a capablist - an intersect with conservativism. Fewer and fewer of those since Reagan, yet every time one appears, America stands up and rallies around that candidate. None of those in this race to choose.
And I’m a Christian who has a conscience. And this must trump all other decisions. There are choices I could not support - even if they get the other two correct. To do so would violate my conscience.
As I said, I think you expressed it well.
