I cannot vote for anyone who endorses the murder of innocents.

Ultimately, I have to answer to a higher power than the President of the United States.

Luckily, we have enough people that think like you we won’t have to worry about having that choice.. if it comes down to it, however, I am different in that I would vote for Rudy (gag) because I would be voting for the overall platform and keeping the Rs means at least one step closer, versus a D platform is one step further away from ending this.

God was known to choose some men as king even though they had huge failings. Look at Jehu. God apparently chose Jehu (through His prophet Elisha) because He knew Jehu would be ruthless and merciless when it came to dispatching the idol-worshiping and pagan enemies of Israel. However, after destroying these people, Jehu apparently tolerated idols later in his reign, and was therefore, little different from those he destroyed.

The point is, we can use someone for the good they can do, even if they fail us in other areas. God could have picked "better" men than Jehu to lead Israel, but they may have lacked the "killer instinct" that Jehu brought to the table. I hope Fred is our nominee in November '08, but would vote for Rudy over a Dem.
