And this sort of twisted “morality” is why the GOP is utterly evil.

It’s why the GOP position on this topic is indefensible. There’s a difference. In politics, there is only a choice between evils. There is no “party of light”. This position is a weighty reason to vote against the GOP, and in particular, against those 112 candidates. But since the position is entirely made of moonbeams and cannot be implemented in law, it’s not necessarily the only consideration when it comes to voting.

If we had Reagan/Carter to do over, I’d say Reagan ought to get the nod. Carter never could get his head around the fact that there really was a Bear, for instance. That, plus he was just terrible when it came to the economy. Once in a while, the Democrats give us a candidate so bad that a better than average Republican is the lesser evil.
