But will Arnold, as Governor, be making any decisions about abortion? (Other than the partial birth abortion ban position which he supports)?

But Ahh-nold is also pro-gay rights and the governor most certainly does and has signed pro-gay legislation into LAW. Just look at the bills signed by Gay Davis. So, there's no way around it. A vote for Ahh-nold is a vote for the continued demolition of God's family. Not to mention the gun laws he might pass that are in violation of the 2nd Amendment.

For instance, the fact that Christy Todd Whitman was pro-choice didn't bother me much because in the EPA, she would never make any decisions about abortion. (I had problems with her for other reasons).

There are many who have this view and they are all wrong. This assumes that you know how to manipulate politics better than God (it's pragmatism), who appoints all rulers (Ro. 13). This assumes that you will help God decide who will be ruler. God asks us to make moral choices and leave the results up to Him. The bible does not instruct us to be pragmatists. Pragmatism is a secular-humanistic approach, not a godly approach. I believe that when we vote for people who are not God-fearing people, we are compromising on moral principle, and we are hurting our nation. This is putting policy and issues over moral principle. Moral principle must come first.

It was not Buchanan's fault that Clinton was elected. It was America's fault. In a republic, the people ALWAYS get what they deserve. if Bustamante is elected, it will be because a LARGE number of Californians voted for him, which is evidence of a population that is morally bankrupt and headed for certain judgment. However, if I vote moral principle, it pleases God becuase I am voting for the good and leaving the results up to Him. It's a matter of faith and trust in the Almighty.

It was Buchanan/Perot's fault that xlinton was elected, and the 'purists' who supported them. Only 43% voted for xlinton. He would NEVER have won without the Buchanan/Perot zealots.

Being an adult means taking responsibility for your own choices. Did you hide under 'moral principle' when you voted AGAINST GHW Bush, and as a result FOR xlinton?

What 'moral principle' made you do that.......that Bush was a 'reprobate,' or pro-gay, or pro-abortion (which, for the record, he, of course, was none of)? Or was it sheer political animosity?

I hear the same cry now as was given in 92, that voting for a guaranteed loser (who is a good man, from all I have heard) is somehow a matter of 'moral principle.'

My guess is, that it is far more political than it is moral, just like it was in 92 when the same group of uber rightists threw our country down the toilet by helping defeat GHW Bush because of their 'principles'......
