No, not ever. The individual should be examined to see if he is a man of principle who will stand up for righteous laws and seek for the overturning of evil ones.
Politics as usual is what had gotten America into the mess it is in. We don't need a politician as our next president. Politicians have stopped their ears to the wishes of the public. We need a leader who will get back the the original ideals upon which America was founded and for which our soldiers have fought and died.

The only way that political party means anything to me is that I will never vote for a democrat. That doesn't mean that I will vote for a republican all the time, though (much to the dismay of chrysostom).

I was going to vote for Judge Roy Moore. But, he got his old job back via election.
June is Gay Pride Month. Tolerance and diversity? More like tolerate perversity.
