Mitt-Stake
This will be my last article and argument for this election cycle. I wanted to highlight this particular article on its own thread because, it looks at all areas on conscience.
It is well written and there is nothing I can disagree with here.
Salut!

Ditto. You can't just up and leave PO!

Re: Mitt-Stake
I'm voting for a President, not a Pastor.
Martin Luther (1483-1546) is alleged to have said that he he would rather be ruled by a competent Turk (Muslim) than an incompetent Christian, but I don't think that quote has been validated. I have heard that and read that but no chapter and verse is given.

Re: Mitt-Stake
In the past, there were many conservatives who declared they would not vote for someone for President who was not a Christian, but these are the same guys who will "hold their nose" and vote for Romney.
Consistency is lacking in our party.
Bottom line, people vote for who they want to vote for and they will find reasons or ways to support their decision.

I have personally never really thought that way. I heard that was a deal back when Kennedy was elected - people not wanting a Catholic for president.
At any rate, I am sure you are glad anyone votes against BHO... does not really matter why, right?

Re: Mitt-Stake
I like this quote from this article:
“I think Romney might destroy the country we love the next four years if given the chance, but I know Obama will.”

I care why, but I can't change people. I can only hope that I can encourage thought and provoke myself and others to examine their motives.
The end doens't always justify the means.
