Especially when that man is a Bishop in his own church that proclaims they are a Christian church?

Well, the problem with this argument, at least when trying to use it with me, is that I can turn it right back around. If I were only going to vote for someone I knew to be a Bible Christian with correct doctrine, then that would mean Santorum and Gingrich are out (Catholic), Sarah Palin is out (Charismatic), Perry is out (non-denominational come as you are no-standards), Huckabee is out (social gospel "Baptist"), and if I really wanted to investigate thoroughly, I'd probably conclude that even Herman Cain and Michelle Bachmann were unsupportable because they use the wrong Bible version or believe in the universal church instead of taking a local only position. Romney being a Mormon makes him no more problematic than would be Ryan, Gingrich, and Santorum, who are all Catholics, which I believe is also an unscriptural cult.

How do you rectify this behavior with the Bible's message to warn people of their sin and if they continue to not listen, have nothing to do with them?

By the fact that those commandments are not referring to politics, but to spiritual matters, especially as those pertain within a local church body, the body of Christ. In fact, trying to apply these to politics in the way you are doing is gross worldliness, as I see it.

I expect better from you Yashcheritsiy than to posit a strawman argument.

We aren't talking about doctrine here, we're talking about out and out sin.

None of those denominations that you mentioned support the sins of butchering their babies or the abomination of Homosexuality.

I can argue the doctrinal differences all day long with those different sects of Christianity, but we all agree, immediately on the complete and utter sinfulness of buthering the unborn babies and the abomination of the Sodomites.
