Thanks for posting the CS Lewis quote reaganaut. I wish I had come across it when I was writing the piece. It would have bolstered my conclusion.

As much as I care about politics, my politics is controlled by my faith in God through Christ. Whereas my faith in God is never affected by my belief in any political philosophy.

That being said, my faith tells me that I must support Godly men to be leaders so the people will not be led astray.

A nation sways in the wind, and depending upon the way the leader at the head sways, so to does the nation.

Like 99& of FReepers, I too am pro-life, but I know Romney was pro-choice.

Should the Republican party ever drop the pro-life stance I will cease to support it any longer. That being said, I am close to stopping now. Close, not ready.

Current leader speaks volumes of my point.

Thanks Alamo-Girl, for weighing in.

Praise God!

I left the GOP over Romney, it was the final straw. There was no reason we should have lost this last time.

While my faith does affect my political view (it does everyone either positively or negatively because it is the basis of our worldview), it is not the be all end all and I am careful not to confuse the two and call a political cause part of my faith.

Sadly, the Godly men you speak of seem to be pushed aside in favor of ungodly people - even in the GOP.

I want a man(woman) to lead me that can discern between deceiving spirits and the Voice of GOD.

1 Timothy 4:1-2
 1.  The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.
 2.  Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.
