Hope you weren't expecting me to read the rest of the diatribe following your opening.
Well, yes. That was my desire. And even though it seems to have had the opposite effect, I do think it is nice to have a higher moral code. If we all had a higher moral code, we wouldn’t have to argue over candidates who were flawed.
But I don’t expect to elect Jesus in my lifetime.So whoever I vote for will be a flawed human, like me. There are some compromises I will not make, even for the lesser of two evils. But I don’t apologize for requiring myself to think about, and make a rational decision, about what level of compromise I WILL make when choosing which candidate I will support.
Still, I am sorry that my choice of words deterred you from reading and responding to the substance of my post. I would benefit from your point of view, and believe you could benefit from mine.
