Comments on: Religious right may go outside GOP if Rudy nominated http://politicalderby.com/2007/10/01/religious-right-may-go-outside-gop-if-rudy-nominated/ Latest PD Composite: Barack Obama 45.6% - Mitt Romney 45.8% Tue, 24 Apr 2012 18:09:39 -0400 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Ada Aitken http://politicalderby.com/2007/10/01/religious-right-may-go-outside-gop-if-rudy-nominated/comment-page-1/#comment-8223 Ada Aitken Sun, 14 Oct 2007 13:13:38 +0000 http://politicalderby.com/2007/10/01/religious-right-may-go-outside-gop-if-rudy-nominated/#comment-8223 As a servant of the Biblical Christ, it is impossible for me to support any leader who won't promote the sanctity of life, let alone one who doesn't recognize that marriage between one man and one woman is ordained by God, and that any other union(s) is corrupt and degenerate. These moral issues are weightier than any other consideration, because the deterioration of our country is almost complete. We will always have wars and rumors of wars, but if we don't honor God, we won't long have a country worth keeping.

How many of you would like to get rid of the IRS and all its unnessecary taxes? Most of us would... yet they ignore us. Let's vote for somebody that would work for us, not just use us to get elected. Besides if Mike Huckabee is the nominee, Republicans won't have to worry about getting the support of Dobson and his followers, they'll be first the first to the voters box.

Here’s a vision

Imagine a society in which abortion is perfectly legal
and in that society no mother or father
would ever even consider abortion an option

Life is treated as sacred
and teenagers are taught by their parents
not to conceive a new life
without providing a father and a mother
to shepard that life to maturity

Imagine a world in which we don’t accept saying
‘what can we do? they’ll do it anyway’

but rather we teach them a better way
Imagine

I do

The American people overwhelming are pro-life. Yet the two major parties have basically told them it doesn't matter what they want. If people are willing to form their own party to ensure that their candidate stands for what they want, then more power to them. That's what a republic is supposed to be about, you vote for people who represent your interests. Why should we let them decide what we think, aren't they the very government that is supposed to be of the people and for the people? It's not by voting for the candidate that represents you that you are making a mistake, it's by voting for someone who doesn't represent you. That's what we've done for years, and now we're more divided than ever. The American public, and the issues should decide who get's elected, and what the public policies are, not political consultants and party bosses. This whole post has missed the point.

The closest to it happening was Theodore Roosevelt in 1912, he finished in second, ahead of Republican William Taft, but was crushed by Woodrow Wilson in the electoral college.

In 200, GWB was threatened by Pat Buchanan, who threatened to leave the GOP and take all his Followers with him. Dubya said - don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Not Religious and

To demonstrate this recall how many went to Washington to call for an attack on Iran

Do Christians urge unilateral war?
Is that right?

Ok – so what are they then?
Neocons with religious followers
seeking to keep in power
someone who will continue beating the drumbs of war

Read up on Leo Strauss, Univ. of Chicago

As for any 3rd Party winning an election
It has happened before
