No, my solution is not to pick a candidate offering little cause for attachment.
My advice is to explore a little more in depth than to just hop on a campaign and then find yourself depressed when you find he/she isn’t perfect or is hiding a serious objection to your support, i.e. a philanderer, a Mormon, a former Democrat, and etc.
I donated to the Cain campaign a total of $75 in three separate donations. Am I mad. No. Am I disappointed? Certainly. But the drama queeniness on this website has to end. Whatever happened to logic? I’m not saying that pragmatism has to take first seat but come-on folks, all men fail to meet the standard that God has given. ALL MEN.
Yes, they may be professing Christians, these politicians, but they ARE politicians or wannabees in the case of Cain, and they practice a lifestyle that is pragmatic to gain the greatest number of repeat voters and wool-gather their political power.
That someone would get so attached to a politician tells me that they really have suspended reality for what end?
Your and my idea of the best candidate are probably not the same if you discount the effectiveness of Gngrich. I’m old enough to remember the 80’s in great detail and I watched Gingrich LEAD us to a victory so astounding that it left the media blubbering (for awhile). And every victory must be tempered knowing that in the dust your enemies lie in wait. Gingrich’s enemies were not only defeated Liberals but some within the Republican Party. That Newt might be his own worst enemy and a long-time Washington insider in my book doesn’t necessarily subtract from his ability to lead. It probably enhances it.
Only God can grant forgiveness for sin. But that doesn’t mean that we have to pummel him for his mistakes any more than we have to beat ourselves up for our own misbehaviors.
I have heard Gingrich say that his perspectives have changed as facts change. I have read that Romney’s perspectives have changed with each new electoral opportunity and that may be true. I have no doubt that Gingrich loves this country. Milquestoast we don’t need. If you want milquetoast by all means go with Huntsman, Romney, and the others. If you want failed campaigns, go with Bachman, Perry, what’s that guy’s name from Pennsylvania? or that crank from Texas.
And finally, but sadly. Cain is unelectable. He is toast.
And there I said it. I’m a pragmatist.
Have you thought about backing Santorum? Less baggage
