I generally agree with Mark about 99% of the time but not on this. Why punish the son for the sins of the father?
I don't think anybody on this thread wants to punish Rand for the sins of Ron.
So here's a distinction you may have missed:
If Rand should support ANY third-party candidate, father or not, that action would be a mortal sin -- something that might contribute to re-election of the TØTUS, and something that should be condemned to high Heaven by all who want a speedy end to the era of Øbamanation. In other words, Rand ought to be punished only for his OWN sins, if indeed he eventually commits same.
(But if Rand doesn't support a third-party candidate, then he will be more-or-less clean and pure as the wind-driven snow.)
