(Voting for Virgil Goode)
Virgil Goode is good for the conscience - talk about elitist! You can feel good about yourself and your own ideals and let the country fall to $hit because Romney does not meet a religious standard.
I can dig it.
I didn't answer this one:
Let me guess: You went to a state high school and/or a secular college...where you were taught this double-standard...and accepted it...without critical eval.
You got me wrong. My evaluation is just different than yours. Why should I judge Mormons? Regardless of their beliefs in Jesus Christ or God, they are a moral people. Good enough for a president - bad for a pope. But I'm not voting for a pope.
If Romney were catholic, baptist, amish, methodist, quaker -even a moral atheist, I would be fine with him.
His stance on abortion and immigration does not agree with mine. I vote Romney because by all accounts and appearance, he loves this country and I vote my country. Romney is not first choice, but he is the choice.
Bashing a moral person because of his religion or lack thereof would be true bigotry.
And as for the double standard? It applies to my personal life alone. I do not apply it to politics.
Obama leads Romney by 3% in Nevada, and and New Hampshire and Virginia are close as well. At the end of the day, is it worth it to throw away your vote on Virgil Goode, the democrat turned republican turned constitution party candidate?
If Obama wins a slew of swing states (and then the election) by the skin of his teeth due to enough people wasting their votes on Virgil Goode, how will you feel? Will you feel satisfied? Smug? What is driving this need to vote for a nonstarter, and possibly throw away the election to the worst, most marxist man to ever hold the office?
