No. Not what I meant.

We, as a nation, have elected politicians because of that one issue often ignoring their other platforms and deficiencies. Sometimes we disqualify good candidates because they are not as strong on abortion.

Yeah sometimes politicians hide a lot from the voter, nothing is really pat though. Take the Christian voting bloc for example. Many voters who attend Church regularly, some even claiming to be God's own servants called into the ministry, vote Democrat as regular as a Swiss watch. All Democrats campaign with hair on fire, openly do-or-die support for abortion rights. One of the hills Democrats are ready to die on in fact is open, taxpayer funded abortion. Another is gay rights. Both of those run in direct opposition to God's law and that's why I have said the day of reckoning for those folks will come. Those who claim to be God's people, who vote for candidates who commit to their last breath to things like abortion, are in line to lose something for sure, if not their soul then reward is definitely out the window. BTW, did you hear the reporter at the President's daily briefing try to bait the President with a question about getting pay checks to the partners of gay people?

But you take Thomas Massie for example. He's a West Virginia transplant who claims to be a Republican, but is supposed to be unswervingly libertarian. Sort of a Rand Paul knock-off. Which means very often he will vote in a manner which favors the Dems. But you tell Massie you're a Christian Pastor and that you want to see him and find out how long it takes to hear back from him. You won't. In fact, I know a Pastor who after years of asking finally got an appointment with him, had to travel to DC in order to make that appointment only to find out after he arrived that Massie would not see him after all. Massie votes against Israel on every opportunity as well. But Massie knew his best shot at getting into Congress was to run for the 4th District of Northern Kentucky as a Republican. And he was right.

Now that I know him I wouldn't trust Massie as far as I can throw him, but the guy is prolife. Which fact taken alone sets him above any Democrat out there in my book. And yet he is anti Israel which is a very big deal for Christians too. The ultimate pragmatist's answer? If it's him or the Democrat, hold your nose and vote for Massie. Maybe he will have his eyes opened one day. If not, God can protect his chosen people, but abortion butchers? That's a different proposition. That is an example of the pluses and minuses each voter must work out. But as I say, most just pull the lever.
