Catherine,
I am but a human who will stand before Christ. You do what the Lord tells you to do. I am simply saying that in November if the choice before me is Obama or Romney, I will vote for Romney because I do believe he wants me and my children free. I cannot say that of Obama.
It is arresting to imagine a Romney White House, inevitably filled with as many former Bain colleagues as each of his other public ventures have been: The PowerPoints, the 80-20 jargon, the clinical separation of decision-making from ideology, the detachment of those decisions from moral consequence, a persistent blind spot for people as people. It would represent the final ascension of a perfectly American type, one that has already remade the culture of business. I once asked a Bain colleague of Romney’s how Romney thought of his own core competence. “I think Mitt thinks he’s good at being Mitt Romney,” the colleague said.
I understand your reasoning. However, on another thread someone posted pictures of aborted babies, and they were gruesome (of course). I was looking at them and thinking that Mitt Romney made that kind of murder possible. For only $50, women in MA today are killing infants, and the blame lies with Romney. I just would ask Christians who are considering voting for this man to keep that in mind and pray about it. I believe putting a mark beside his name to elect him to lead this country is a grave sin.
