I've known Dobson for 38 years, he doesn't need an excuse.
I really think that Baron, Tstew and myself could do a radio gig discussing the election. Kinda the Crossfire version except much younger and hipper and we'd probably all be TV stars in no time. Bring in some of you all like Pressing-on and Aquilla and a lot of the other great debaters and make it a howling success.
Baron surely there are some arms you can twist up in D.C. too get this done.

My point was that a vote for the lesser of two evils is still a vote for evil.
Who would you vote for Nero or Caligula?
Depends which one said he didn't believe in killing the unborn. Some sbjects are much more important then others.
As a human and or Christian I can only go by what comes out the candidates mouth. Maybe they are sincere, maybe they are not. Nonetheless how could I vote for a person who does not believe in any limits on abortion. I am sure that people will be able to rationalize, and intellectualize, the abortion issue one way or another.
True. Evil is evil. Sin is sin. But.. some sins are much worse then others.

As a human and a Christian, I must go by people's actions...especially if millions of babies are being murdered in the meantime. There has to be a point when what comes out of people's mouths must match what comes out of their governance. If there isn't, then what comes out of their mouth is simply rhetoric.
I believe that sincerity can be readily ascertained by reviewing the actions

That would be way too much fun. I have done some debate on the radio on a program that was called cross examination. You might be surprised at the positions I argued. I argued against the war in Iraq, and against navy chaplains praying in Jesus name at mandatory events.
But I don’t have the Joe Buck smile for TV.

thank god you dont baron, it would be your ruination, and by the way leave the navy chaplains alone, lol
Part of the fun was being the bad guy. It was a very conservative host and audience. But it was much easier to make the arguments against the chaplains than against the war. I began my segment by reading a Wiccan prayer about the horned one of the forest. The host cut me off about half way into and said you can't say that on here we have a lot of Christian stations. I said thank you made my point. No one wants to be at a mandatory event and here religion specific prayers that are not their own.

Republicans have had a great role in putting limits on abortoins. When you can't get the whole enchalida you have to make gradual gains.
Republicans leading the way on limiting late term abortions, partial birth abortions, etc is a great start and I am very proud of them for doing that.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
