I think this is good advice from Rush. Obviously, everyone has to make their own decision, but Christians should research the candidates’ positions on all the issues, not just their profession of faith.

I am a conservative, Evangelical Christian, but I think Fred best represents my interests and values. As far as abortion goes, Fred advocates a more practical, achieveable solution that likely would save the most lives. (Overturning Roe vs. Wade rather than HLA that would be nearly impossible to pass.) Fred has more endorsements from pro-life organizations than any other candidate, so that speaks well of him.

Also, as a Christian, I’m in favor of less federal government involvement in my life. I don’t want government giving orders from “on high”. I look to scriptures to show me how to conduct myself.

It is the job of Christians and the Church to give to those in need. Scriptures do not tell us give a portion of our money to the government to be doled out through government bureaus. We are to be His hands and His feet.

Something about Huckabee doesn’t sit right with me. Perhaps he is genuine. Only God knows his heart. However, his constant faith references seem to me to be for political gain. I have a lot of Christian friends, but I don’t know of any I would like to be president.

Also, Huckabee seems weak on national security. I think Fred would do a better job of protecting my family, and that’s a concern for people of any faith.

I say amen!
