I’m so tired of the all-or-nothing conservative wing I could puke. These selfish people are going to lead us to eight years of evil and darkness fom which we may never recover.

I'm with you 99%. My disagreement is that the "all-or-nothing" conservatives are not necessarily "selfish," but naive and suffering from tunnel-vision.

It is not that we are naive or suffering from tunnel-vision. I am looking at this from all angles and my focus is not on what may or may not be good for me, but what is right and just and pleasing to God.

There are some issues that we should be ready to seek compromise on. The wholesale slaughter of the innocents and the human sacrifce of our posterity on the altar of economic prosperity and "choice" is not something on which I am willing to look the other way simply for the sake of some feeling that one abortion proponent might be stronger on defense than another abortion proponent.

I will not dirty my own hands by willingly voting for a man who not only has no conscience about abortion, but thinks that it is such a fundamental right that the taxpayers ought to foot the bill so that everyone has the opportunity to "freely" exercise that right.

Maybe Rudy can talk up a strong defense, but the defense of this nation is not in the hands of Rudy, but in the hands of God.

Except the LORD build the house, they labor in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. (Psalms 127:1 KJV)

The president is our watchman, but unless the city is kept by God, then he will watch in vain.

I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: (Deuteronomy 30:19 KJV)

As for me, I will choose life. I will trust the Lord and if necessary suffer the consequences of that choice.

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. (Proverbs 3:5 KJV)

Tunnel vision? Some might call it that.

Naive? Some might call it that.

One more verse for those who are willing to compromise on principle because they suppsedly see the bigger picture and Rudy is their hope.

Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. (Jeremiah 17:5 KJV)

Real Politik?

Get real.

BTW thank you for the opportunity to post many of my favorite verses.
