    I have seen many republicans sickened by their choices.
    They don't like either of these guys

    So . . . . .. my question is what will they do?
    1. Hold their Nose and Vote for one of them
    2. Vote for Tarico
    3. Just don't vote

    For those that will do #3 - Can they explain how that is better than voting for Tarico?

    It's 3. They hate the way things are going but can't 'bring themselves' to vote for a Democrat. Democrats have been demonized by culture wars and White Christian Nationalist cultists.

    It's addition by subtraction. I think Talarico will continue to win over more and more moderate Rs, though.

    A couple of vain hypocrites (in the biblical sense) right here.

    First, just beyond the fact that wishing ill on a fellow Christian is the most un-Christian thing ever...

    Wishing him to be "crucified like Christ" like thats some ignoble death is insane from someone who claims to be a Christian given how much real Christians venerate the sacrifice they believe Jesus made for all mankind by being hoisted up on that cross.

    Its really weird imagery I'd expect from someone who is only vaguely aquainted with the Bible. It's like maliciously saying you "hope your enemy dies saving all mankind from eternal damnation", like that would be a shameful way to die.

    I 100% have trouble believing that someone who attends church regularly, much less a person leading a congregation would use imagry like that, even if they were being unChristian and wishing ill on someone. Genuinely, if some "Christian" said something like that to me, I'd privately question to myself whether they'd actually read the New Testament and I'd probably start trying to change the subject.

    No wonder they are all so morally bankrupt. They dont understand the most basic core tenants of their own faith - which is the sacrifice that Christ dying on the cross represents for mankind. They view that as somehow shameful.

    Being crucified on the cross is the most noble profound moment in the entirety of Christian theology and this "pastor" is throwing it out like an insult.

    None are so blind as those who will not see.

    Pharisees and Sadducees, all of them, using religion as a lever to further personal desires. It really sound like some crap only a fake lapel-pin-cross pretend Christian who doesn't actually go to church would think to say. It's like a complete inside-out inversion of the faith.

    Hegseths pastor needs to stay off the radio. He's the equivalent of democrats who kept calling Trump a nazi and saying this would be the end of democracy for 10 straight years. It made people want to vote against them. Tacorico doesn't need any help losing -- let him do it on his own without threats.
