In Search of the Righteous Candidate

by Lee Duigon

Every time he makes a public appearance, Donald Trump puts his life on the line for America. Democrats still hate him. Nothing is going to change that.

Meanwhile, George Barna, dean of research at Arizona Christian University, is predicting that only 51 percent of Christians will vote in this year’s presidential election (https://leeduigon.com/2024/10/09/you-dont-feel-like-voting/). He estimates 73 million Christians won’t vote—maybe as many as 100 million.

Some say they won’t vote because you can’t beat the cheat. Our elections, they say, have been hopelessly corrupted—so why bother? The fix is in. And thus another self-fulfilling prophecy is born. Live and don’t learn.

But worst of all are those self-righteous noddies who won’t vote for any major party candidate—because no one’s good enough! Except for maybe some fringe party candidate you never heard of. “I’m voting for Ariadne Pfellf! She’s quit sixteen different churches because they weren’t holy enough. She’s already a saint!”

Yes, there are voters who can’t tell the difference between running for president and qualifying for sainthood.

I used to waste my vote when I was young. I’d march out to the polls and vote third-party, or even a write-in, every time. It made me feel so much smarter than everybody else!

Name a guaranteed loser, and I’ll bet I voted for him. Or her. Ross Perot. John Anderson. My high school lab partner, Janet Swink. But eventually I noticed that those 15 percent who voted for Perot gave us eight years of Bill and Hillary Clinton. Then I didn’t feel so smart and superior anymore.

Vote in haste, repent at leisure.

Now we have to choose between Donald Trump, a former president with a record to be proud of, and Kamala Harris, a Far Left doozy who specializes in word salad, vice president to one of the worst presidents in our history. Four years of senile Joe Biden, with Kamala egging him on—and the country is reeling from it. Inflation. War. Our total humiliation in Afghanistan. Pushing transgender and “gender reassignment” like their lives depended on it.

Do we really want to spot them 73 million votes? What have we been drinking, that’s dug this hole for us? And God only knows whom they’ve got behind the scenes, pulling Kamala’s strings.

I thought John Kerry was bad, which he is. We spared ourselves that tribulation, although Kerry is still out there, way out there, making mischief with his fellow globalists. But even he would be a step up from a cackle queen who’s espoused every political position in the book.

For the life of me, I can’t imagine how even the Democrats could have settled for Kacklin’ Kamala and Tampon Tim Walz. How did we ever sink to that?

I didn’t want to write about this election, it has such dreadful prospects. We know the Democrats will cheat. We know there’s nothing they won’t do to win. And by now—please, by now!—we ought to understand that eight more years of Democrats just might be something our republic won’t survive.
