@Art Sisneros: Thank you for not closing comments here (like you did other places) OK, I read your recent blog entries with regard to why you feel that you should abstain from casting your electoral vote for Donald Trump, and let me summarise to assure you I have honour & integrity to hear you out: (#1) First, you correctly remind us that the Electoral College was put into place for electors to vote for the most qualified candidate (Republic), whether OR NOT that is the will of the people (Democracy: A thin plurality appears to have voted for former Sen. Hillary Clinton, vs. Donald Trump). -- (#2) Secondly, you claim that Mr. Trump is a nonBiblical candidate. GORDON'S REPLY: OK, I agree on count 1, but disagree on count 2. While, yes, Mr. Trump has MANY flaws, and is indeed the lesser of the 2 evils, the fact of the matter is that he is VERY qualified (and even more-so qualified than King David, who assassinated Uriah, the Hittite, he who was the husband of Bathsheba), and this to cover-up adultery with her. So, if God allowed David to rule, who *did* commit no less than TWO (2) CAPITOL crimes, what is your objection to Mr. Trump. Secondly, while he is clearly the lesser of the 2 evils, he is VERY qualified in many ways, and VERY qualified to be president, not only in his accomplishments in the business world, but also, based on the testimony of MANY who know him, personally, truly a person who cares. Human? Yes. Needs some "tips" to tweak key screw-ups? YES: http://GordonWatts.com/tips or http://GordonWayneWatts.com/tips come to mind. But qualified? YES, or else I would not vocally advocate for him. Besides, risking a Hillary presidency (she was a do-nothing senator, and put many lives in danger as Sec. of State, to boot) to prove a point is not logical. Yes, I feel you should vote your conscience: And, while I don't agree with your dissenting vote away from Mr. Trump, I agree with the other commenter that you're neither hot nor cold - but rather lukewarm, referring to REVELATION 3:16, since a truly hot or cold elector would vote for the candidate who is most qualified to keep his "primary" oath to vote the right way, even if that meant violating your secondary oath to vote for the GOP candidate. My conclusion: I disagree with your new stance "against" Mr. Trump, but FIRST, I think you should vote your conscience, whomever that may be, and SECONDLY, I hope you peruse MY social media, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc., and see my case "for" Mr. Trump, and change your mind. But, even in spite of the fact you are "against" my candidate (Mr. Trump), I respect your moral compass, and feel you have a Constitutional right to vote your conscience, and I ask you to NOT resign, as that would be violating your primary oath (to vote your conscience, see above). PS: I'm no dummy - I am the guy who almost won in court for Terri Schiavo ALL BY MYSELF: (well, God helped me, but no one else) [1] In Re: GORDON WAYNE WATTS (as next friend of THERESA MARIE 'TERRI' SCHIAVO), No. SC03-2420 (Fla. Feb.23, 2005), denied 4-3 on rehearing. (Watts got 42.7% of his panel) http://www.floridasupremecourt.org/clerk/dispositions/2005/2/03-2420reh.pdf [2] In Re: JEB BUSH, GOVERNOR OF FLORIDA, ET AL. v. MICHAEL SCHIAVO, GUARDIAN: THERESA SCHIAVO, No. SC04-925 (Fla. Oct.21, 2004), denied 7-0 on rehearing. (Bush got 0.0% of his panel before the same court) http://www.floridasupremecourt.org/clerk/dispositions/2004/10/04-925reh.pdf [3] Schiavo ex rel. Schindler v. Schiavo ex rel. Schiavo, 403 F.3d 1223, 2005 WL 648897 (11th Cir. Mar.23, 2005), denied 2-1 on appeal. (Terri Schiavo's own blood family only got 33.3% of their panel on the Federal Appeals level) http://media.ca11.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub/files/200511556.pdf [PS] I used food/water arguments, like Jesus used, in Matt 25:31-46, not feeding tube arguments, like Jeb Bush & her family used, so I got farther than all others combined: MIRACLE. But a greater miracle was my faith: No one in their right mind would do what I did -or even *attempt* it, under risk of angering a lot of people, getting censured or fined by the court, etc.: The Schiavo case was the larges case since Roe v Wade, even greater than the Gay Marriage case of recent. Again: Please note that Mr. Trump is not only very experienced in dealing with government (when he was in business), but MANY people are coming out of the woodwork to attest to his good moral character (even if he can't always control his tongue like he should), so please consider changing your vote, and no matter what you do, please pray for our leaders (Trump, Pence, lawmakers in BOTH parties, and all judges, many of whom are corrupt), and please also do what you can to HELP them be better leaders - don't just complain: Offer a solution, like me - and try to help out - like me. -- With kind regards, I Am, Sincerely, Gordon Wayne Watts http://GordonWatts.com / http://GordonWayneWatts.com http://Facebook.com/GordonWayneWatts / http://YouTube.com/GordonWayneWatts / http://Twitter.com/Gordon_W_Watts LAKELAND (between Tampa & Orlando), Fla., USA, earth/// ** PING BACK: https://theblessedpath.com/your-guide/ ** https://theblessedpath.com/about/
