This is why I am not a “one issue” voter.

Life is not perfect and trying to find perfection just makes life that much harder.

I am seriously wavering. There aren’t any better options right now, but then again, there’s getting to be less and less difference between the worst of the worst.

Completely removing the national debt from the new platform, which is in my opinion the biggest threat facing the US, is completely inexplicable, and inexcusable as well.

Where else are we gonna go?
The clear majority of American voters want this flexibility.
We can remain piously prim, and continue to lose elections,
or we can acknowledge some of our younger republicans are also in support of some leniency due to the circumstance.

Absolutism leads to irrelevance.

Abortion laws don’t work just like gun laws don’t work. Unless this country has a great awakening to Christ nothing will change. However, I do not like where this is headed. Why would they do this now when polls are greatly in their favor?

I’m getting tired of these frauds in both parties. They don’t care about the constitution or the people—-they care about their selfish ambition.

The author seems delusional to me. Christianity made absolutely no progress as a political force under the Republican Party. Dropping these hot-button issues from its national platform was the most honest thing the GOP has done in years — because it never gave a damn about these issues anyway except as fundraising tools.

This is the view of the RNC, with emphasis on the N -- National.

Newsflash: abortion is no longer a national issue anyway.

Anyone trying to stir up pro-lifers (myself included) to speak up on this nationally is someone who's trying to stir up the pro-baby-butchers to come out in force during a presidential election year (to vote Dim).

Anything not in the constitution is a state issue.

“I’m getting tired of these frauds in both parties.”

Lol.

Politicians have been lying for many decades—check that—hundreds of years.

Congratulations on your new discovery.

Christians can ‘support’ the lesser evil when it is discernible in the Spirit.

Either Christians get CONTROL over their leaders, or in a few years, their leaders be on record supporting post-birth abortions, as in infanticide.

By adopting Donald Trump’s stance of “leaving abortion to the states”—aka, unborn children don’t deserve equal protection under the law—the RNC has essentially abdicated its moral responsibility. …
Twisting of the truth. Equating the Constitutional upholding of states’ rights with abandonment of equal protection of the laws (not “under the law”; the Constitution does not say that) is a flat-out lie in and of itself. The federal government was never supposed to legislate criminal law for the states; its scope was to handle interstate crime and defense of all states from outside threats.

The Republican Party has spent my entire adult life proving that it is fully vested in fiscal irresponsibility. It would be the height of comical hypocrisy for the GOP to pretend it gave a flying sh!t about it now.

Hopefully the demo party dies in the next few cycles and a party of Christian moral character comes into the fray.
The GOP can become the Left and there will be a Right party also.

I can dream if I want to.

That is very true. To put a sharper point on it, since each of us in the group is impacted by the actions of the dems, even non-votes support them.

No matter how distasteful a vote may seem to some sensitivities, what is important is to actively vote against the greater evil.
