(This Post First ran in August of 2005!)Conservative Christian Republicans
There seems to be some question as to the way Conservative Christian Republicans “stay away from the polls” when unacceptable candidates are on the ballot. At least one of the readers of this blog suggested that action might be un-republican.
The short answer is this: We don’t care!
Let me try and explain the Conservative Christian Republicans view on voting. To get a basic understanding of the Conservative Christian Republican’s view of the world you must understand our priorities. They are in this order: God, Family, and then, Country.
Understand also, we feel it is sinful to vote for a candidate who does not share these priorities.
You begin to see where we are coming from.
Look, we believe that voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil and we won’t do it. We answer ultimately to a much higher power and we recognize that, and try our best to act accordingly. We do not always succeed, actually we don’t succeed most of the time, but we are bound to continue trying.
If the Republican Party nominates a candidate, we see, as unqualified, by our standards, we will not go to the polls and support that candidate. The RNC knows this. It is no secret. The GOP has understood where our ultimate allegiance lies since the Conservative Christians began their migration away from the Democratic Party when it adopted so much of the Socialist/Marxist platform. There is something of a compact between Conservative Christian Republicans and the RNC. We will support the Republican Party as long as it toes the line. The minute it steps away from the line… we are gone.
Remember where our allegiance lies. We do. And, we know that, in the end, we have to give an accounting of the time we spend here on this earth. That is far more important to us than voting to ensure the Republican Party wins an election.

ReplyDeleteI am a Christian, that was the main reason I voted for Carter in 1976. I consider myself a moderate, I have supported people from both parties.
In 1967, The GOP formally agreed to terms with the Conservative Christian Movement. It wasn't until 1980, when Falwell created the Moral Majority, that the GOP/Religious Right formally merged.
In 2004, I went to a Baptist Church, and the Pastor said, "If you don't vote for Bush, you are going to hell."
I was waiting for a chuckle from the parishoners; nothing. His entire sermon was a political speech for Bush!

Vote for Bush or go to hell, well you voted for Bush and the whole world went to hell. But I know when I die, I'll go to heaven and I voted for Kerry, and if Bush in heaven when I get there (almost impossible), I will serve him and eviction notice with my Godly foot in his lying sinfull butt.
