Help Wanted
Position: President of US.

I am seeking a statesman to earn my vote in the upcoming election. Frankly, I'm tired of only having politicians and followers of the beast (masquerading as Christians) to vote against. Unfortunately, that seems to be the case again this election.

I am seeking the candidate that best understands and follows In the Spirit of God and Christ.

Christians in name only need not apply.

Please help me decide.

1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:

4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.

5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.

6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.

7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.

Actually, he had a little bit of help with that.

Jesus stood against tyrants that that judged sin as crime.
That sounds like 'patriot' and 'statesman' to me.

I don't know what country you live in, I just assume it is USA. I can give you a name to cast your vote for, but to be honest, I don't think that your vote will matter anyway.
It is far more important to pray for all the candidates, that will make a big difference.

1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

That depends on which version you read of him. He also stated you can not follow him unless you hated your mother and your father, and that 'bring me my enemies before me and slay them'.

It all depends on the message that the person who was writing the gospel wanted him to say (or redacted the gospel).

There's no one to vote for. If you keep your principle you will have to vote against everyone, although a case could be made for Huckabee. But, in the, end, it wil be another one of those "lesser of two evill votes" come November: Obama/Clinton vs McCain/?.

[McCulloch]

a case could be made for Huckabee.

I'm kind of torn on the issue of Huckabee. On one side, if Huckabee gets the GOP nomination, I think that it would almost guarantee a Democratic White House, which from this Canadian's perspective is a good thing. On the other hand, if Huckabee gets the Republican nod, there is a chance that the American voters might elect him.

My faith is my life - it defines me. My faith doesn't influence my decisions, it drives them. For example, when it comes to the environment, I believe in being a good steward of the earth. I don't separate my faith from my personal and professional lives.

I support and have always supported passage of a constitutional amendment to protect the right to life. My convictions regarding the sanctity of life have always been clear and consistent, without equivocation or wavering. I believe that Roe v. Wade should be over-turned.

We don't need universal health care

I am running to completely eliminate all federal income and payroll taxes. And do I mean all - personal federal, corporate federal, gift, estate, capital gains, alternative minimum, Social Security, Medicare, self-employment.

I support and have always supported passage of a federal constitutional amendment that defines marriage as a union between one man and one woman. As President, I will fight for passage of this amendment. My personal belief is that marriage is between one man and one woman, for life.

Iraq is a battle in our generational, ideological war on terror. General Petraeus and our troops are giving their all to provide a window of opportunity for the Iraq government to succeed, while the Democrats are running for the exit doors.

I believe that we are currently engaged in a world war. Radical Islamic fascists have declared war on our country and our way of life. They have sworn to annihilate each of us who believe in a free society, all in the name of a perversion of religion and an impersonal god. We go to great extremes to save lives, they go to great extremes to take them. This war is not a conventional war, and these terrorists are not a conventional enemy. I will fight the war on terror with the intensity and single-mindedness that it deserves.

Israel is an important partner in the spread of freedom and democracy throughout the Middle East and the world.

No candidate has a stronger, more consistent record on Second Amendment rights than I do.

There is always a chance, but I think it is slim.
Unless McCain does something really stupid (Outside of what Republicans usually do), I don't think Huckabee stands a chance in a million. It's still a long way til November so many things could happen..but it is looking like an Obama presidency. I myself am looking primarily at the healthcare issue and would probably even be supportive of that. McCain would be nothing more than an extension of the Bush presidency. Hilary would be nothing more than an extension of the Bill Clinton presidency. However, I suspect that Obama will pick Hilary as VP. McCain does need a conservative to balance out his ticket, but I don't know how that would impact the ticket since the GOP is loaded with moderates.

I personally have a deep dislike for McCains approach to aliens, and I don't know if he is really that calculated, but his own election finance reform seemed to benefit himself the most.
