I’ve been reading around the internet that there is a report that a group of Christian leaders met privately in Salt Lake City. The purpose was to clandestinely plan to get a third party candidate that would meet every one of their goals for issues in the election.
I have no idea if this is true or not, and speaking as a born again Christian, I value my vote too much to have anyone tell me how to vote.
Suppose they find that perfect on every issue candidate and decide to back him or her? What happens?
What happens in a few words is Hillary Clinton becomes our president.
We would still have a pro-abortion president, a social liberal with a socially liberal congress to back her up, and the most important thing is we would completely lose any hope of having a balanced judiciary for the next twenty years or more.
Now I don’t know about you but the court judges and justices are probably second or third on my list of priorities after homeland security.
Some of our SCOTUS justices are hanging on by a thread and we can depend on them retiring if a democrat is president with a democrat congress.
There goes your abortion fight, your gay marriage ban and new law made out of whole cloth will replace it all. We will see all kinds of new reasons for allowing something not allowed by law or constitution now. We’d even get back to foreign law if we had to.
Bill Clinton never would have won the White House if Ross Perot hadn’t run and taken some of the Republican protest voters with him.
Clinton never had a majority of the vote.
The Michelle Malkins and Polipundits of this world would be able to whine about illegal immigrants for the rest of their lives if we have a third party candidate.
Conservatives and conservative/moderates, don’t throw away your opportunity to improve things because you don’t like everything about the eventual nominee.
Think about what decisions the nominee would make once in the White House and weigh them. Heck, make two columns on a piece of paper and put their pros on one side and cons on the other. Then do the same for the other major party candidate. That should tell you how you should vote without taking your pastor into the voting booth with you.
My pastor stays out of politics and I’m glad he does. His calling is to preach the Gospel and not be a political influence in this country.
The courts actually have the most authority in this country because the Supreme Court decisions cannot be challenged.
I have yet to see a president get any changes in the abortion laws except to sign a bill passed by congress. Then it goes to the SCOTUS for them to decide its merits.
Think about it when you step into the primary booth. Vote for the candidate you think can win the election and not just do a protest vote for Ron Paul who has no chance at all.
Then think about it again when you vote in the general election. Do you really want a liberal court system in our country for the next 20 or more years?
That’s what’s at stake here. Use your head and forget utopia.

Third Party? Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad idea.
Did I say bad idea?
Bad idea.

I can’t defend a third party that has no chance of winning. Maybe someday one that is viable will pop up, but right now they just seem to be there so they can be spoilers.

Joe Lieberman is probably one of the few examples of how a third party candidate can be elected.
It is different though in a national election. While some of us might wish at times that a true challenge could be mounted against both major parties, it is not realistic to believe they do much more than drain votes in most cases from the GOP.
