Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostFirst of all, I don't defend Trump's "corrupt m0ral (sic) nature at every turn", so you can shove that lie where the sun doesn't shine. I will, however, defend him against baseless, political attacks, such as the lie that Trump is a serial liar.
I've seen those lists published in partisan rags like The Washington Post and The New York Times, and they're nothing more than smear jobs that deliberately take Trump's words out of context, or spin the original statement beyond all recognition so they can disingenuously call it a "lie".
As for Trump's admitted infidelity, no, I don't condone it, but neither am I going to pretend that it somehow makes him unfit to be President.

Heck, Jackie Kennedy was one of the most cheated on First Ladies in US history, but liberals treat JFK like he's a hero, even going so far as to excuse his serial adultery.“He felt that his whole life was a kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it.” - Douglas Adams.

Originally posted by NorrinRadd View PostI appreciate your consistency, and I share your view expressed in a subsequent post that our lives ought not be compartmentalized, such that our faith is sandboxed away from all else.
Nonetheless, I am not convicted to live things out in the same fashion as you. I accept the reality that ours is not and never has been a "Christian" nation, and I can't expect to only vote for Christians, and "proper" ones at that. If I had convictions anywhere close to that, I would have to join the ranks of those believers whose consciences do not permit them to participate in the political process at all."Down in the lowlands, where the water is deep,

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostAgain, it depends on what you mean by "support".
Does voting for someone who's political and social ideology you agree with make you party to every sin that person has ever committed?
Trump is nakedly immoral. This doesn't mean that he is some how more honest than the Clintons--or any other politician who has endeavored to keep their sin out of the public view. It's that he is brazen. I think he has been, and will continue to be, even less beholden to traditional morality and decency than the "average" politician.
For me, I don't look for a perfect candidate; rather, I vote for the person who I think will do the most good in office. What else should I do?
fwiw,
