Sex, Lies and Videotape

Just when you thought they couldn't go any lower, the candidates came out swinging at this week's debate, exposing their opponent's sordid past while denying their own tawdry behavior. 

Like scenes from the 1989 film Sex, Lies and Videotape, we've heard about the nine women who have accused Trump of sexual harassment, the videotape of Trump's vulgar talk about women and lies, lies and more lies from Hillary Clinton (whom I now just call "Hell-ary").

This is what this election has come down to: a choice between two reprehensible people.  I could never -- and will never -- vote for Hellary.  I didn't think I could vote for Trump either.  He's said so many rude and crude things about women, veterans like John McCain, and he even mocked a disabled reporter.  That's about the lowest of lows in my book.

The third and final debate helped me make up my mind.  In the first question when she was asked about the Supreme Court, Hellary said she'd nominate justices who would uphold the rights of women to have an abortion and protect the "rights" of gays.  On abortion, she went so far as to say women should be able to have a late-term abortion.  I think she'd even support abortions right up until the day of delivery.  Hellary approves killing babies!  This is plain evil.

At least Trump said he would nominate pro-life justices to the Supreme Court.  He said justices should work to reverse Roe vs. Wade, and I agree.  It's time to put a stop to the shedding of innocent blood, which the Bible says God hates.

If he can help stop abortion by nominating only pro-life justices, then maybe something good can come from a Trump presidency.  The abortion issue alone is enough to make me rethink my opinion of Trump.  I still have questions about his level of experience and his views on women, but his position on abortion gives me a ray of hope.

This was the tipping point for me.  Hellary and her pro-abortion appointments must be stopped even if that means voting for an otherwise undesirable like Trump.
