Look, your pushing of Romney, and trying to get Christians to vote for him, and deny their instincts, is your problem.
Read my previous posts to you, your dedication to Mitt and getting Christians to ignore their natural instincts is why you have so many posts on this thread.
Ungracious and unkind. I have ZERO history on FR of "pushing Romney". I just began to warm to him (as nominee for President, not Christian mentor) after 1) accepting that he is, in fact, the nominee; 2) his selection of Ryan, who I respect though I am Protestant and he is Catholic and 3) seeing their respective families.
If Jesus can state to Pilate "You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above..." who are you to promote some fantasyland where only Christians can (or should) inhabit government? Or consider this from Paul: "For the Scripture says to Pharaoh: "I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth."
God is in charge NO MATTER WHO IS IN OFFICE.
