    matt, could you clarify for me? Which option of the three I gave you is the "responsible and practical thing"?

    You mean this?

    We also have to make sure this is relevant to our discussion, so we need to say that it's 100% certain that the people that stand up and say "Enough! We will not stand for murder...." will not accomplish anything except for saying that.

    Given that parallel to our current situation, I would most certainly vote for the person that would result in less people being killed. Obviously I would continue to work towards a goal of no people being killed, but in the short term I'll take a limit on damage over full blown damage.

    Thanks for your response. Perhaps I should have phrased the question do "you" stand up. But be that as it may, I take it from your response you would vote for someone who says they will gas only Jews. You will work for them not to be, but you will vote for the person who will gas them. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

    Yes, of course I would given the two choices and a certainty that no other choice exists. If there are only two choices, I will always choose the choice that causes the least damage.

    ok, matt, thanks for your honest response. I appreciate it. I truly can not fathom a Christian ever walking into a voting booth and punching the "gas only the Jews" option, but I appreciate your honesty. And you are consistent. I just wouldn't want to be in your shoes answering to God for it.

    And I can't fathom anyone, let alone a Christian, walking away from a situation when they know that their vote could limit the damage.

    Maybe they will go for Chuck Baldwin again and get 200,000 votes nationwide, like they did last time! :laugh:

    Here's some more questions as well.

    What are you doing to campaign for this third party candidate?

    How much money have you donated to their campaign?

    How many doors have you knocked on for them?

    How many phone calls have you made for them?


    I'll answer for you. None, nothing, nada, zilch. You know that it is a waste of time.

    What a bunch of baloney. You just expressed the possibility of voting for someone who has a pro abortion record in Massachussettes, Mitt Romney. Where do you get the idea that Republicans are sacred? What ever gave you the idea that Republicans and Democrats are the only two choices? The parties are not in the Constitution. We the People formed these parties and can take them down. Once in our history, the Whig party was the second major party. Your standards are so low you will vote for one aboritonist over another, and a non Christian at that.

    If there was a third and a fourth party candidate, one conservative and one liberal, I could see your point. But it it is just a third party candidate and they are conservative then it automatically splits the conservative vote and ensure the victory for Obama.

    Let me know when you organize another choice that has a chance, ok?

    Me too. But apparently a vote for a pro-life candidate is a vote to kill babies.

    Don't get me wrong. I like Chuck Baldwin and what he stands for. He simply doesn't stand a chance at winning the election though. All he can do is take votes away from Obama's opposition.

    And if that opponent got all of Baldwin's vote he would defeat Obama?

    It's a lot more likely than Baldwin winning.
