I just wanted to drop in and congratulate the two of you on this particular thread! No insults, no name calling, hardly any negativity at all. My hat is off to you both!
While I am here let me add just a couple of thoughts to this discussion.
I plan on voting in this presidential election, and if I do not agree with whoever the nominee is, I will write in someone if that is an option.
When I decide who I am going to vote for I will do so based on a couple of things.
First, the person's ideology, I definitely want a cons***utional conservative in the White house. It seems that some of our current group do not meet that standard. I continue to hope that it becomes clearer as this process moves forward.
Secondly, I want to know the leadership ability of that person. I knew Barak Obama would make a horrible president based on that one thing. A man who has run only a "community" type group is not properly equipped to run a nation. His failure to lead has cost this nation greatly, and we simply cannot afford 4 more years of him, he will in his weakness push us over the edge morally and economically.
I see some strong leaders in our current group of republicans, I am not sure just yet who is the strongest, but I will find out as I study them.
So there is my two cents on this all important election. I would also encourage us to be praying for America, I am devastated in considering that those lost in the Revolution, Civil, WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam and our current wars in the east were for naught because we have forgotten what this nation stands for and represents.
God bless you two, take care and Merry Christ-mas,
