Those of us who abstained (from voting for Bush) have nothing to be ashamed of. We stuck with out principles, and we'll continue to do so.Non voters, those who refuse to do their moral and civic duty by participating in the political process, have been known to people since the dawn of democratic government. Naturally the Greeks had a word for it. That word was 'idiot'. The other connotations of that word have been added over the years, because of their obvious association with non-voters.
You make a good point and the Bible backs you up. Paul specifically instructed Christians to support those in authority over them. Rome was a dictatorship, so you did your civic duty as Rome demanded it. We are a democratic republic, and that means that any Christian who wants the name should be voting in EVERY election, because God will ALWAYS guide you to the "right" man, even one who isn't a believer. God used all sorts of heathens to bless, or protect, the Children of Israel and I suspect people who think they can't vote for a politican due ONLY to an abortion position really don't have much faith.
God will tell you whom to vote for, and no matter what tha person's "stated" position is, God will use people to accomplish his ends. Heck, how do you know the person won't have a religious conversion the minute he gets into office? God knows that, though.
Your reading comprehension is as poor as your logic. I did not say that I did not vote.
