Should Christians be REPUBLICAN?

Material prosperity and spiritual bankruptcy.

 

If economic philosophy is more important to you than saving millions of lives by preventing abortion...you have some seriously messed up priorities.

I would not say that Christians can only vote for Republicans, because I don't belive that. But, I will say that there is no way that Christians can vote for Kerry.

Did you know that the Democratic National Convention basically blackballed pro-life Dems and prevented Democrats for Life from even attending the DNC?

The Democratic party is much more left-wing and liberal than most people realize. They are ruled by pro-abortion and pro-homosexual activists.....how can a Christian align themselves with that?

 

I vote for various candidates regardless of party, especially on the local and county level.

This year in the federal races I will vote



and for U.S. Senator from Arkansas I will vote

 

A vote for Peroutka is a vote for Kerry.

Would you rather Kerry be President over Bush?

 

A VOTE FOR PEROUTKA IS NOT A VOTE FOR KERRY, and here's why.

If a person would have voted for Bush, but chooses to vote for Peroutka, Bush loses one vote while Kerry gains 0. Total swing: one vote.

If the person had voted for Kerry, then Bush loses one vote while Kerry gains one. Total swing : two votes (-1 for bush, +1 for Kerry).

A vote for Peroutka is not a vote for Kerry.

 

I'm not of the mind that anyone should hold allegiance to ANY party. I believe they should vote on the man and his record, Christian or not. It's a shame, but there are Christian Republicans who are abortion friendly, and unsaved Democrats who are not. Which one would you vote for? Would you vote for the Christian just because he is a Christian? I certainly would not.

I thank God for the freedom to vote in this country. I just think it needs to be a matter of prayer and not the matter of a person standing in a pulpit telling someone who to vote for. Do the research, and spend time in prayer. God will lead you to whom you should vote for.

 

A Christian Democrat does seem silly!

But lately I've been disappointed, not so much with the platform of Republicans, but with the actions of Republicans (and I am a registerd Republican).

A vote for Peroutka is not a vote for Kerry. </font>[/QUOTE]Ok...clearly my statement was not literal.

I know that convictionally there are people who want Peroutka as Pres. But, he won't be. He won't even come close. Like it or not, this is a 2 horse race...Bush and Kerry.

You really need to pick who you would rather see in office between the 2, even if it is the lesser of 2 evils, in your opinion.

This is a crucial election, and us as believers need to get out and vote for the candidate that most closely resembles what we believe. One of the 2 candidates does, the other doesn't (Kerry).

Neither Bush or Kerry resemble what I believe. I can't cast a vote for something I don't believe in, because I am afraid of something else I don't believe in. I will vote for the candidate who I believe in, regardless of his chance of winnning in November.

 

Now, that's what we call conviction, ladies and gents.

 

Examine voting records. That's not lip-service.

 

Vote for whoever you want.

I, personally, will not take actions that would help enable John Kerry to become President.

He clearly is against everything we believe as Christians.

 

You are assuming that if I didn't vote for Mr. Peroutka that I would vote for Mr. Bush. Your assumption is flawed as there is no way I will vote for Mr. Bush. I would not vote in the presidential race before I would vote for Mr. Bush or Mr. Kerry.

The largest political parties in both Germany and the Netherlands are known as the Christian Democrats. It must be a cultural thing.

 

Okay, I will accept that. But, I will also state that the comment by Dr.Bob (not that he needs me to defend him) is a legitamate comment also. For one to know what Kerry stands for, to know what the Democratic platform is, begs the question----How can a Bible believing Christian support him or the platform?

Bro Tony </font>[/QUOTE]I know what he stands for, true government, that's based on truth. Not lies, like our current President. He's a man that supports our working class folk, like me. Not for the rich people in this country. I want someone who's gonna get us out of that occupation in our new 51'st State Iraq. Someone's that's gonna fix the problems, not band-aid them to death.

Of course I know Abortion is inportant, and I know gay marriage is wrong, But what we need to survive in this country is Jobs, Money and Incomes.. and those are getting hard to find and come by, since Ol GW took office.

As Kerry says, WE CAN DO BETTER!

What we need is jobs? What we need is a nation that will bow down to God and repent of are sins.
Then and only then will this nation be great again.
I can undrstand a non Christian saying we need jobs above all else but a Christian. I find that very sad. Do you not believe God will heal this Nation if we repent and turn from are wicked ways?

I don't believe that at all -- that was a promise given to Israel, not the U.S. We are not going to be healed -- sin is going to increase until Jesus comes back. The percentage of actual born again believers in the US is probably about 10%. This came from a Barna poll but it was what I guessed before I even saw the poll.

 

Yep. Since the Garden of Eden there's only one person born who wasn't a sinner. And as the world population increases, the number of sinners also increases right along with it.
