We are not electing the Pope.

We are electing a politician.

Politicians are, by definition, people with profound character flaws.

Holding our flawed politicians to a higher standard than we hold the enemy's flawed politicians guarantees they win.

You're evidently good with that.

So, you think clinton was an excellent President? I tell you what, he was an excellent politician! He wasn’t a Pope and he gave us a new rally cry, “Character doesn’t matter”! We had a great economy when he was in office and he left us a surplus.

Listen, I don’t care what letter is behind the name, I do not want a cheating, lying, selfserving, person as President. Character DOES matter, and this site has always been a leader in saying so! We fight for values, morality and Christianity—the building blocks of a good society. I expect my Christian brothers to walk the walk, not just talk it up and use their faith to gain votes.

And I do not accept the premise that there is no politician who isn’t that way. There are plenty. We just have to use our brains, trust our eyes and ears, and pay attention. Not just glom on to a candidate and stick to them no matter what they do! Have some standards

I am sick and tired of voting for the ‘lesser of two evils’.
