They didn't like Dole particularly but they figured he was not a bad as Bill Clinton. Voting for the lessor of two evils will still yield evil. The two major parties offer a choice between driving America over the cliff to ruin at 70 miles an hour or 100 miles an hour. The end result is still the same. For example, Republican Supreme Court appointees gave the country Roe v. Wade and other liberal rulings.
Future appointments promise to be no better.
The United States of America was not founded upon compromise and relativism. Being a Republic, it was founded upon the rule of law and upon the belief that people are accountable to God and each other for the principles that they stand for and the people they elect to public office. Let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair. The event is in the hand of God. When more Americans are concerned more with winning and maintaining party power at any cost rather than in standing by principle, the result is compromise by those in office and by those who elected them.
