My point is not to dispute particularly with anyone, including my friend, neighbor, and better writer than I who lives not too far away, but ........
A vote for Hilary is a vote for Hilary. A vote for Trump is a vote for Trump. And a vote for Darrell Castle (WHO?) is a vote for Darrell Castle.
To say that my vote for Darrell Castle (WHO?) is a defacto vote for Hilary Clinton tries to deny me the right to vote for the best person running for president.
Why do we have legal same-sex marriage, absurd gender issues, women in combat, women poised to be required to register for the draft, continued abortion on the demand, and host of other problems, both economic, moral and financial?
I could make a good case that it is precisely because men and women of good conscience continue to vote against that conscience, election cycle after election cycle. And because of that the Republican party knows it can ignore moral and social issues and give us the likes of McCain and Romney as nominees, and now Trump. These guys lose anyway, so why not vote for someone better?
The question has been asked: Are you better off than 8 years ago? Financially, most definitely yes. (I give the credit to God, however, not Obama!)
When asked the question, most people think of the financial aspect.
Culturally and morally we are much worse off - and it effects everyone regardless of financial well-being. There is more moral desperation than ever before, more confusion, and more hurting, more poverty of soul.
I know that neither of our major party candidates can make this better because they are either immoral or amoral.
Oremus pro invicem!

A vote for Jim Curley is a vote for Jim Curley! (Although I think I'll be writing in Cardinal Dolan.)
Well thanks. My neighbor is on a mission trip to "witness to" and serve refreshments to the public service workers: emts, police, etc. at the GOP convention in Cleveland this week. I might write in my neighbor!
