As a Constitutional Conservative and a Christian, I will be voting for @KenPaxtonTX. And no... I don't owe anybody an apology for it. Does that mean I'm excusing his controversies? Absolutely not. But like I just heard on a video from @howertonjosh, a vote isn't a valentine. I'm not looking for a best friend, a pastor, or somebody who's never made a mistake. I'm looking at RECORDS. Both Paxton and Talarico have served in government. We don't have to take their campaign promises at face value… We can look at what they've actually done. Banks don't approve loans based on good intentions. They look at credit history. Why should we approach elections any differently? As a Christian, my convictions about the sanctity of unborn life, biblical truth, and the proper role of government aren't negotiable. And my disagreements with Talarico on those issues aren't minor. Scripture calls us to be salt and light. Salt preserves and slows decay. That requires discernment, conviction, and ACTION... Not sitting on our asses complaining that everything is corrupt and nothing matters. I don't expect perfection from politicians. I expect accountability, and I'll hold the people I vote for to that same standard. You can disagree with my decision. That's fine. But don't confuse choosing between imperfect candidates with abandoning your principles. There's a BIG difference between compromising your principles and actually applying them.
