(53,035 posts)Falwell would never invite her.
We see pictures of her appearing with a former SoS and head of state of Israel as signs of her unfitness for office, yet we have in this thread every excuse in the book for why courting right-wing votes is suddenly a good thing.
Unlike many, I do not reverse engineer my views to fit a candidate. Nor do I define myself ideologically around politicians. My views are my own. I make a decision and vote best on my assessment of the best available options, but that vote does not determine who I am. I will never denounce leftist, black activists because I fear a candidate can't handle criticism. I will never post anything to suggest I see one great man of woman as superior to the citizens she seeks to represent.
I think the contortions of justification in this thread say a great deal.
