If we sacrifice principles "just to win" one has to question whether that is a win at all? I've been disappointed in Republicans who we vote in and then turn right around and behave like democrats allowing liberal judges to the benches and liberal democrats to steamroll legislation through Congress.

We talk about morals and principles but if we sacrifice half of our morals so we can maintain the other half, what have we really gain? We've lost half our morals.

I wonder if the democrats were to take over again if people wouldn't see how corrupt and bankrupted their philosophies really are. I would rather see a Tom DeLay run for President than a John McCain even if Mr. DeLay had no chance of winning.

God is in control and He'll raise up whom He wants. Do we REALLY BELIEVE this? If we did then we should understand, while we should be actively engaged in the political process, the outcome is of the Lord's. With that in mind we should support those who clearly represents our values. Not someone who WE think will win the election.

If you believe that God is in control and He will raise up who He wants, then you must believe that God wants either George W. Bush or Kerry to win. He would have had His hand in the rise of either.

Is there any possibility that the other 3rd parties have a chance? Not at all. We all know that.

Assuming, then, that God will have either Bush or Kerry, then you must rate Bush as the one who will promote a culture of life and religious freedom. With kerry you have a candidate who will promote abortion, cloning, homosexuality, and religious repression.

If you are certain that this is a time when God is deciding to refine His people in the fires of sickness and oppression, then vote for Kerry.

If you believe that you must decide for the best of your people based on biblical principles, then you will vote for the opportunity for life and religious freedom to flourish. You will vote for Pres. Bush.

If you're registered.

This is the only adult, non-infant, view on the subject.
