GOP Elector Resigns From Electoral College Rather Than Vote For Trump

[boedicca]

And that is why you lost, bub.

It used to be that Americans could disagree without disparaging the honor of the opposition. You all decided that the opposition was EVUL and deserved to be destroyed. Well, that hasn't worked out too well for you.

And to quote myself:

http://www.usmessageboard.com/posts/15929172/

Trump won with liberal labor vote. You are clueless.

Trump won the electoral vote, which is how the Framers designed our system of government.

You are the clueless one, bub.

Yeah, well that isn't the only stupid shit the Framers did.

How about we go back to their way, and deny YOU the right to vote? eh?

The Framers also included a process to amend the Constitution. If you can get 3/4 of the states to agree to let California and New York decide how they live, then go for.

Good luck with that

So you admit that the Framers got voting rights WRONG. Why then are you worshipping them as Gods?

There you go again assuming that respect is worship. Here's a clue bub: you loons on the left are the ones who worship according to the Secular State Religion.

The Framers did not view themselves as infallible; just as they did not view that any humans were infallible. That is why we have separation of powers, a rule of law (framed by The Constitution), and processes to amend the Constitution in a way that prevents temporary insanity/mob rule from mowing over the rights of minorities.

Good . Who wants his vote?

You feeling better?

Just fine. Granted on scales of life. Jake I'm watching you and I don't understand you.

And as always our hearts have to be open. And we have to try to understand others.

The selection of Trump may very well be a devastating blow to minorities, not the least of which would be Muslim-Americans.

Voting for Trump is a vote to dishonor God.

Now that Trump has won, I need to ask why do you Mormons keep pretending you are Christians? Curiousity. And all my cats are mine. I have and am just suspended in time that you still to this day pretend to be Christians when you are not at all. Now this battle can go to other forums but lets start it here Jake. Mormons are not Christians.

You know I am not a Mormon. RGS, bobblaylock, tyroneweaver, avatar4321, among others, are Mormons. I am not. You are clearly not a Christian, td.

What qualifies Trump as a Christian?

If he believes in Christ as the Lord and Savior.

The Texas elector wrote in a blog post that he’ll “sleep well at night” knowing he held on to his convictions.

Torn between voting his conscience and dutifully casting his ballot for President-elect Donald Trump, a Republican member of the Electoral College said over the weekend that he would resign his post.

“I believe to resign is to honor the intent of the pledge as it relates to the people of my district,” Texas elector Art Sisneros wrote in a blog post. “Since I can’t in good conscience vote for Donald Trump, and yet have sinfully made a pledge that I would, the best option I see at this time is to resign my position as an Elector.”

Sisneros’ decision to step aside comes as some members of the Electoral College face mounting pressure from voters and advocacy groups to flip their votes against Trump, even if he won the popular vote in their states.

In his post, Sisneros argued that casting his vote for Trump would “bring dishonor to God,” and said that political parties and “winner-take-all” states destroyed the original intention of the Electoral College. Sisneros said in August that he was considering voting against Trump if the real estate mogul were to win the popular vote in Texas. But he told Politico Monday that he would instead resign.

The rest of the country’s 538 electors will choose Sisneros’ replacement when they convene on Dec. 19 to officially elect Trump as the next president. All of Texas’ 38 electoral votes are expected to go to Trump, who beat Hillary Clinton in the state by more than 800,000 votes.

“The people will get their vote,” Sisneros wrote. “I will sleep well at night knowing I neither gave in to their demands nor caved to my convictions. I will also mourn the loss of our republic.”

GOP Elector Resigns From Electoral College Rather Than Vote For Trump

It always warms my heart to see an honorable Republican.

Most likely it was death threats from Clinton supporters that led him to this decision.

Jake.

Mormons are not Christians.

What part of being Christian do the Mormons fail to qualify for?

fair question since they believe in Jesus Christ just like Christians do. ( thats the part that makes a Christian a Christian)
I give them a vote for being Christian.

No, it's not. That is the Scawy Boogie Man story you loons are using to scare yourselves and small children.

 

[Avatar4321]

If he feels that way he did the right thing. He is required as an elector to fulfill his duty, if his conscience won't allow him, he needs to let someone else do it.

Not sure why he waiting until now though.

So you're taking the view that Trump lied about all that nasty shit he had planned for Muslim-Americans?

And don't play dumb and ask me what.

Jake you remind me of a soul. There was a rock band. When I was leaving my end of the business. Edmonton. Band walked onto stage. Cripes the look was awesome.

I'm hardly either far or alt right, bub.

I am socially liberal and fiscally conservative - iow, the government should stay out of people's bedrooms AND wallets.

 

[tinydancer]

So Jake tell me their names......

 

[SYTFE]

Couldn't he have been a faithless elector? It's only a small fine. I'd have more respect for him if he didn't resign.

Hey that rhymed.
