I really believe that anybody on the Left or the Right that tries to invoke the teachings of Jesus to say they should vote for this candidate or that candidate, I think they're stretching Scripture.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Voting is a right that has been given to every American; however, as Christ followers, our votes should reflect our God.
With the right to vote, our choice should be for the Holy Spirit to lead us and guide us.
I think that Gov. Huckabee is one of us. I know that a lot of the other candidates try to talk like evangelicals, but he's actually one of us. He believes like we do on all the issues, which energizes me as a voter.
It's important to ask candidates about their beliefs, in part because politicians frequently exploit religious faith - often with the idea that voters will be more likely to unthinkingly accept certain political positions so long as they arise from religious belief.
I think that a good Left is a party that always thinks about the future and doesn't care much about our past sins.
If you're going to vote for somebody because you think they have a great faith in God, you'd better be sure that God has faith in them.
What we need to affirm is that Jesus is neither a Democrat nor a Republican. Whenever we marry Jesus to a political party, we are committing the sin of idolatry. We are making Jesus into the image of our political party.
If God had wanted us to vote, he would have given us candidates.
We're never going to have a perfect candidate unless Jesus Christ is on the ballot.
God has called us to be His representatives in our nation and in our world. Select candidates who represent your views and work for their election.
