A simple as that. I hold myself accountable for that vote and if any candidate holds views that conflict with those issues, they simply do not get my vote...I dare not give them my vote. I must stand accountable before God one day for how I personally used the sacred liberty He has bequeathed upon this land.
Will I stay home? Absolutley not. That would be as repugnant as voting for any of those issues I described. I will find a candidate to cast my vote for who supports those fundamental core values.
I do not expect 100% agreement in the least on all of the myriad of issues, but on those fundamental issues...I demand it.
Which conservative candidate wants to ban abortion?
The answer, of course, is none. If you’re truly anti-abortion, that’s what you want. A total ban.
But, you’ll refuse to vote for a republican who YOU deem not worthy of your vote. But, you can’t find a candidate who agrees with you on enough issues to nominate.
It’s just mind numbing to watch what is surely to become another 2006 election in 2008. The candidates won’t be conservative enough, so you’ll have a fit and stay home or worse.
Jeff, find the candidate who will ban abortion and promote him or her on the ticket. Work to get him or her nominated. And, by all means, tell us who that candidate is.
