CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY OCTOBER 15, 2024
WITH THREE WEEKS UNTIL THE ELECTION, POLLSTER GEORGE BARNA HAS RELEASED A STUDY THAT HAS FOUND 32 MILLION CHRISTIANS WHO ARE REGULAR CHURCH GOERS MAY NOT VOTE.
THE REASONS ARE FAMILIAR: DISILLUSIONMENT, DOUBT THEIR VOTE WILL MATTER, AND WEARINESS ABOUT INCREASINGLY CONTENTIOUS CAMPAIGNS.
THE STUDY FOUND 68 PERCENT SAYING THEY LACK INTEREST IN POLITICS; 57 PERCENT DISLIKE ALL THE MAJOR CANDIDATES, AND 55 PERCENT SAID NONE OF THE CANDIDATES REPRESENT THEIR VALUES.
IF THESE TRENDS CONTINUE, SAYS BARNA, DONALD TRUMP MAY LOSE THE PRESIDENCY TO KAMALA HARRIS.
ARE CHRISTIANS OK WITH HARRIS, WHO FAVORS ABORTION ON DEMAND AND TIM WALZ WHO AS GOVERNOR REMOVED PROTECTION FROM BABIES BORN ALIVE AFTER A BOTCHED ABORTION? WHAT ABOUT THE BORDER, INFLATION AND TAXES? IF CHRISTIANS WANT MORE OF THE SAME, THAT WILL BE THE RESULT OF THEIR NOT VOTING. THEN THERE IS FOREIGN POLICY. WHO IS MORE LIKELY TO STANDUP TO RUSSIA, CHINA, NORTH KOREA AND ESPECIALLY IRAN? IF CHRISTIANS WANT CHANGE THE BEST HOPE IS TO VOTE FOR THE PERSON MOST LIKELY TO BRING IT, FLAWS AND ALL. WITH THE RACE SO CLOSE, SMALL NUMBERS OF VOTERS WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE. THERE ARE NO PERFECT CANDIDATES. KEEP THAT IN MIND AND VOTE. I’M CAL THOMAS.
