Christian Democrat. Oxymoron.

"Why don't we use nuclear weapons?"
That is a good question. What has/does MAD actually accomplish? Every option should be on the table or it is useless.

"The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive."
They certainly have been a major force behind Cap and Trade.

"environmentally friendly light bulbs can cause cancer."
They do. Ultraviolet radiation emitted by fluorescent lighting can increase an individual's exposure to carcinogenic radiation by 10 to 30 per cent per year, with an associated increased probability of contracting squamous cell carcinoma by 4 percent. Speaking as a man who has had 8 squamous cell carcinomas removed from my hands, arms, face, and the tops of my ears, believe me, it is no laughing matter.

One of the reasons I live two miles from the Mexican border is that I can drive down and buy incandescent light bulbs.

You don't know he will destroy it.

But you do know about Hillary.

It's all about SCOTUS and you have his list. Which do you think will gut the Constitution, his nominees or hers.?

I've yet to see a RAT address the Supreme Court issue in a relevant fashion. Most RATs don't see anything different this election than in previous elections, as far as the Supreme Court goes. They are supremely ignorant. Democrat presidents commit acts of Treason with their judicial appointments. This time, the treason will be fatal.

Trump won't destroy America. He is surrounding himself with great people (VP, judge list, advisers). His positions on issues are much better than Hillary's positions. He has no desire to destroy America, but Hillary does. And, if he desired to destroy America, he doesn't have the experience and the people to do it with.

Are you saying that a true Christian can support a party that nominates a man:

  1. who has had multiple wives
  2. who has had unknown numbers of mistresses
  3. who is a chronic liar
  4. who is unethical in his business dealings
  5. has an adviser who said, “There are no such things as Christians. Just people who call themselves Christians.”
  6. who by his own admission has never ask God or Jesus for forgiveness. he was quoted as saying, ‘I like to be good. I don’t like to have to ask for forgiveness… And I am good; I don’t do a lot of things that are bad.’
This list could go on for a long time.
1:You didn't point out a single policy for your argument. 2: We don't need a pastor for bible studies but a patriot so you missed the point.....see point 1.

OK. Do your write in and cast your vote for hillary. Certainly you are smart enough to be aware that this will be the result of your refusal to vote or do a write in.

Perhaps not. Can you share some more of your Never Trump 'logic' with us?
Sure. I'm not voting for Hillary. So, according to Trumpies logic that is a vote for Trump.

Furthermore, I'm in a blue state. It's going to go for Hillary.

Your vote, snowflake, may not matter, but you're working to influence people in swing states to not vote for Trump.

:Laugh...I didn't think of it that way before.....but that is the logic.

Except to listen to some, elections in America have devolved into voting against a party and not for a candidate. It's not about who you support, but about choosing the strongest opposition to who you oppose. The question this year is "so, who are you voting against?".

That's been my voting scenario as long as I've voted. Cast the most meaningful vote in opposition to the candidate I hate the most.

Yep. And as long people keep voting against someone by voting for someone they don't hate as much as the other we'll keep getting lousy candidates. The cycle will keep on repeating.

And otherwise, such will not be the case?
If you hate my product but keep on buying it, then I really don’t care. I still get your money and there is no opportunity for competition. As far as you are concerned, I own the market (I own your business). You can say, “at least I don’t shop at Atheists-R-Us” but the bottom line is your nearsightedness prevents an opportunity for a change in the status quo.

The irony is that what you are rejecting in the booth (in terms of voting) is the Republican economic ideology which if applied to politics would suggest voting for who you think to be the best candidate and allowing the "market" to work (to produce another party, for party reform, etc.) in the long run instead of cashing in on some short-term gains.

Which is fine, as you have a right to your opinion and a right to cast your vote as you deem fit. But so do others.

Thank you. I will vote for the candidate who I believe will get things done.

We already know what Hillary will do. Obama III

Obama took the USA to the edge of a cliff. Obama III will push America over the edge.

Incredibly, there are supposed Christians, RATs, who prefer Obama III over Trump just because they don't like how Trump talks. It doesn't matter to them that the USA is on the edge of a cliff. It doesn't matter to them that Trump is better than Hillary on every issue, that Trump's business history shows him to be a relatively responsible, and that Trump is surrounding himself with great people.

To the RATs: Matthew 23:33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?

Do you contend that those who do not support Trump are condemned to Hell? Seems like you are saying that.
