Since Iām going to be hearing this for the next 6 months as a Texas voter, let me answer the question:
āYou would vote for an adulterer over James Talarico? Thatās not very Christian.ā
Hereās the truth: I would rather vote for almost anyone else who is going to at least advocate for conservative *policies* over a literal heretic who wears my faith like a skin suit, advocates for policies that harm children, endorses immorality and generally harm society.
Ken Paxton has personal baggage. I donāt deny that. But Talarico has plenty too ā and he openly mocks Godās law and treats Jesus as a political mascot all while pushing a radical far-left agenda that would be a disaster for my state.
You see, Iām an adult. I do not expect those who are seeking political office to be my moral superiors or even trustworthy. They are tools to be used to do the least amount of damage via policy.
I wish more pastors and men who live godly lives were running. I really do. But the options we get are what they are.
Paxton supports secure borders, law enforcement, lower taxes, unleashing American energy, the Second Amendment, just to name a few.
Talarico supports unlimited abortion, trans-ing children, higher taxes, government-run āhealthcare,ā and is incredibly comfortable blaspheming the word of God.
Iām not voting for a priest. Iām voting for an imperfect person to represent my interests. Thatās how it works.
Youāre not going to guilt trip Texans into supporting a looney tunes candidate like Talarico. Paxton will win by 5 .
Itās about policy, not personality.
