If Romney is anything, it would be the judgment of God upon America.
Let's face it - we have two major party candidates who are against godliness and righteousness. Both of them are instruments for God's judgment, regardless of which one gets elected, since both of them are, at their root, opposed to God and His plan on earth.
Sure, the Assyrians might have been God's instrument of judgment on Israel, but that doesn't mean the Israelites had to vote for them.
Ultimately, folks like you are putting your faith in man and government, not in God - and this is true no matter how much highminded talk about "prayer" and "who can be influenced by God" you might want to make. The heart of the king is in the hand of the Lord. if God wanted, He could put Obama back into office, and then turn his heart completely 180 degrees around. I doubt that this will happen, but who knows. Ultimately, the matter is in God's hands, and it's up to me to simply vote my conscience, not vote "pragmatically" for somebody with bad charactre whose future actions I do not know.
Your accusation is laughable. I have no faith in government whatsoever. It has become a known evil. If you think, however, that God would have a person behave unwisely and elect stupidly, "just because He is in control of everything", you're quite mistaken. That kind of thinking is ANTI-Scriptural. The Proverbs are replete with behaving wisely, not because God couldn't fix stupid, but because He gave you a brain. So use it.
There is only one of two people who WILL be put into office come January regardless of how much faith you have in your fancies of 'superior good character': it'll either be Romney or Obama. With Romney, use your faith and pray that God has great influence over his through his advisers, continue to pray that God will put people into his sphere that would lead him in the right direction; pray that more and more Constitutionally conservative senators and representatives, both U.S. and state, bet elected to office, and for those who are there now are also leading and voting in the way God would have them.
If you think God would approve of my helping re-elect a known liar, who is a godless, Muslim Marxist either through voting third party or refusing to vote at all, then you're truly living in fantasyland. Consequences ALWAYS matter to God. You're the type who truly would have helped put a Hitler into office because your principles are so high and mighty you couldn't vote for a mormon. It doesn't matter the known end result was millions murdered, those people simply didn't have the 'right kind of faith.'
