I can’t help but think of Council Member Pike and Tracy K going at it angrily at the last council meeting. And they both mentioned how they were christian’s during their rant. Certainly made me think of Matthew 23:28.
It's difficult for me to understand, even incomprehensible, that there was not one Christian Conservative who was willing to stand up in Boise and run for mayor. I was so very close to compromising my Conservative (Christian) values to vote for a Democrat to unseat a RINO. I felt the Dem was weak enough, that even if elected, would have been ineffectual in a 3 way vote, flanked by the other two RINOs. In the end, that piece of the ballot was left blank. In the end, if I lived in Boise, I could not support the "lesser of two evils," as it is the power of office that eventually turns the lesser into the worser. Never forget how McEvil fooled the electorate with her speak of being a moderate.
After reading this great piece, I remembered the final comments at the Eagle Chamber of Commerce Forum. Mayor Pierce spoke eloquently about his reasons for living in Eagle. He spoke of his wife and children, his vision for Eagle and also his faith. He was followed by "The Capt'n" who leapt to his feet and loudly proclaimed "well I'm a Christian too...". He came off like an angry junior high school brat. There should be an acronym for Christian in name only

Whenever possible, don't leave your ballot blank. Protest votes only benefit the worst of the candidates and hurt the least-worst.
It's difficult to hold your nose while marking a ballot, but that's why most people have two hands (or a friend with a clothespin)!
Excellent message!
