Voting With A Clear Conscience

[prv]

Actually, you’re abandoning your responsibilities and running away.

“Forced to accept?” What have you done to ensure you have a good candidate? Have you worked to promote a qualified candidate, raised money for him and campaigned for him to win the nomination?

I cannot in good conscience wait for someone else to put up a candidate – I and all Catholics have a moral obligation to find good candidates and support them.

“He” won – not his party. Once in office, he had to deal with the same Republicans and Democrats.

No, I don’t believe that faithfulsteward is at all abandoning his/her responsibilities. I think (s)he is using his/her conscience, which is what all persons are called to do. Everybody knows that the parties have their own agendas and that those who don’t support them as seen by the agenda-setters have virtually no chance of winning the party ticket.

“The parties” are made up of the people who work in the parties. If we get off our posteriors, we can control our local party committees, ultimately our state committees, and finally the national committees.

If we don’t get the candidates we want, it’s our fault – we should have worked harder.

Remember the elections with Ross Perote running? Nobody got 50%. Gave us a minority president.

And a terrble one at that. A man who’s hormones drove his actions and a man who put the most rabidly pro-abortion Justices on the Supreme Court ever.

I am accomplishing something though…I’m putting my faith in God.

Fortunately, there are still men and women, who know who God is and know that God is still in control of this world.

Here are some thoughts to consider:

God has never required us to win, he has required us to obey and HE provides the win.

NO WHERE in the scripture does God provide for accepting the lesser of two evils. Voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil. And yes, I’ve seen the argument about “Limiting Evil.” But I say that voting for evil no matter the degree is still promoting evil.

It occurs to me that the scriptures seem to indicate that GOD is the ONE responsible for placing men in authority and bringing them down. How 'bout we let God do his job and we do ours: vote according to values that seem to be required by scriptures, not according to who we think can win or not.

Remember, according to the scripture, “The battle is the Lord’s.” And yes, we are in a battle for the very survival of our families and our unborn children.

Consider that the only truly wasted vote is a vote for a person who does NOT represent your values.

It’s time to stop compromising your values! It’s why this state and this country is in the state of affairs that we find ourselves in.

Just how did the “agenda-setters” get to be agenda-setters?

They got off their butts and worked. They started at the bottom and worked their way up. We can do the same thing, if we get off our butts.
