Evangeline,

You just put it all in perspective for me. I appreciate your logic so very much!

I guess the reason I ask this question is because , on paper, i am a democrat when voting. But based on those very same questions you pose to yourself, I do feel that I am holding the same views as a conservative candidate. Maybe I am afraid to change over...as I used to be so passionate about this. I majored in natural resources, and was taught that most republican administrations help the corporations instead of looking ahead into the future at what that may cost.. however, morally speaking...i feel more on track with the republican conservative side. sigh..its tough to make a decision on my vote this year....

ladylite,  Being conservative is not a neccessary attribute for a Christian.  When I look at the cnadidates for office, I ask myself, what does he/she believe about abortion, welfare, the budget, defense, etc.  Do his/her views make moral and economic sense?  I would rather give money to my church or a Christian charity than to a government that will use it to promote family breakup, immorality, abortion, over spending, and not defend our nation.  I also want to know the candidate's stand on Israel.   Biblical financial standards do not tell us to spend what we don't have and let our children pay for it.

Do all Christians need to be conservative? I am finding that there are very few democratic spiritual people... but maybe i am looking in the wrong places. I am torn...I have always been a liberal thinker, as far as helping people who are in need..I dont mind being taxed. I think investments are needed to prolong resources for the long run. BUT....I also lean towards pro-life, homeschool, and welfare reform... t seems i dont know what I am anymore. I will have to pray for God to help me vote, make the best choice for our next leader here in the US....

My exact opinion of the "professional" college to grave career politician; once you get away from the concept of the average citizen "serving" a few years in a position of power and authority, then returning to ordinary life,  you end up  with an elite class who decides laws & rules do not apply to themselves, only in stuffing their own pockets even at the expense of killing the "golden goose".

Rapture you are right we need to pray for these people. i have been praying for the Lord to show obama and others like him they are lost and headed to hell with out Him! we need to pray but we also need to let the secular world know that we believe God's laws and we will not let them take over without a fight! i too believe the rapture is near but until the trumpet blows we need to continue to pray and stand up for God's values!!

yea rapture the more i read in my Bible the more i see obama is far from what we as Chrisitans are suppose to be. Romans 16:17-18
"I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetities. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people."
does that sound like smooth talking obama or what?

rapture and chip you know that a person i known by their actions not by what they say - this is why the "evidence" sharon theil wrote of made me so upset! obama actions show he is a muslim!! he can say he is a Chrisitan but there is NO evidence of it!! i just can't understand how anyone is still fooled by this man especially Christians. a vote for obama was a vote against God in my opinion. also the point chip brings out about the koran stating that it is okay for a muslim to lie when dealing with us infadels was great! i was just shocked that sharon theil did not have a problem attacking a fellow Christian while standing up for a known muslim???? it just got me upset and i am still upset over it!

This video has a drawing of explaination of partial birth abortion so please dont have kids sitting with you while listening/watching. I hope putting this video here is ok. Also I hope I dont get kicked off this site or told to leave as I see others being told. I dont like Abama and have reasons why and its not because I am speaking ugly filth its because I dont think he is working for the USA .This is a Polictic group and there will be disagreements please dont call the ones who disagree with our President names. This is our freedom of speech as it ws yours .

i have no ideal how any one that is a Christian can support or vote for obama. i have put in many hours of research into this man and his wife. i believe this man is evil. sharon theil states that he is a Chrisitan because she looked up and found out he is a member of the the church of Christ. this means nothing. many will say they know the Lord and do works in his name yet He will tell them depart for i never knew you - this is from His word. she also states that Jesus "spoke of love and goodness" yes He did but He also spoke of fearing Him and upholding his laws. i do not appreciate it when people try to make Christians look like they are evil because we speak out against the very things the Lord tells us to stand up against! Jesus does not expect us to lay down and hope things will be okay! He shows us in His word that we should be bold and fight. i suggest sharon and everyone for that matter read obama books. he is quite open about this dislike of the white race and his embarrassment of the nation he is now the leader of. think about one of obamas first excutive orders helping the homosexual agenda with the signing of the non-discrimination act. then the overturning of president bush ban on funding overseas abortions! we also see his agenda to take God out of all of government. these are just a few of things that he has done that goes against what our Father tells us to stand up against. i will not get into the more secular parts of his adminstration - there is too much to truly get into but please be aware of Amnesty for illegal aliens, Cap and Trade, Bail Outs, etc...
As a Christian i feel it is expected of me to stand up against obama and others like him!

(responding to Bill Evans)
1.. Our morals and freedoms innsociety where eroding but know at a very faster pace. Since Obama took office, all of his plans and so called solutions have been big government which is a freedom killer. We have got to things back to a state level where policies are easier for the people to manage.
2. I think as Christians we should fight politically. We should stand up and fight for our values and our moral integrity. I don't see anything biblical , that we should go quietly into the night.
3. I think we are in the last days and I say Lord come quickly. Get me out of here! But until then, I'll go down fighting.
4. As Christians we are for high morals and freedoms, and personal responsibility. I see our values in the Tea party movement. I'm in it, we are going to a rally today, and I recommend that you join us.
God Bless
Ken O.
