My favorite? Can you quote some posts where I say that? You know you cannot, so do not lie, if you can help it.
Why, yes, in fact - that's not how you spell "intelligent". Glad to help you out.
It's not a news article, it's an editorial piece. And yes, I think it's silly to speculate on who JESUS would vote for.

You obviously don't know elections in Illinois.
As for Obama, he'd be the first to be killed by the radical Moslems. He is very much of the belief that there are many paths to god and it doesn't matter which path you take.... and it doesn't matter which god your path leads to.
Except that if you claim your path is the only path, then your path and your god are ont acceptable and must be banished from public discourse.
Touche. As a Christian I am quite sure I know who Jesus would vote for. I don't need anyone telling me.
Guess Obama isn't concerned with the slaughter of black babies, either.
Has this ever stopped Democrats before? I'm sure that he's registered in more than one precinct. And, that he votes regularly.
And there's been an effort in the state legislature to stop this practice, and three times Barack Obama has voted against the bill that would stop the practice of letting these babies die. And I was simply saying that as a person of Christian conscience, when I vote, I have to ask myself the same question I ask in other things: am I representing Christ, and if I have somebody representing me--it's just like in my campaign, I try to tell my campaign people, if we're running under a rubric that says we're trying to be faithful people when we deal with other human beings in the campaign or outside of the campaign, we have to reflect that commitment of faith. We can't be representing something that would be false to the banner we're flying under.
And that's true of voting. You know, I can't send somebody off to represent me in the Senate of the United States who is not going to behave in a way that's compatible with my conscience, as shaped by the presence of Christ in my life. I have an obligation to use that vote in such a way that it doesn't contradict the conscientious requirements of my faith.
And I don't think Jesus would let that baby die. I think that He would do everything He could to save that life, just as He was willing to offer His own to save our lives in all eternity. And I think we know that, as Christian folks.
And so, this fellow asked me, "Well does this mean that Jesus Christ wouldn't vote for Barack Obama?" and I had to allow as how I think, as a conscientious Christian, no, Christ would not vote for such a person.
And then they tried to get me to say, "Well, does that mean that Christ would vote for you?" and I said, look, that's not what I'm saying. You know, because I think that that's something that other people would have to judge, based on where I stand and how they feel in conscience about what I offer.

Thanks to Jesus, I've been rendering votes Caesar's way every election.
There's just something about that guy!!
Amen! It bears repeating.
On the other hand, it makes me sick to see what passes for conservatism today. Snow and Chaffe are not "moderates". I'm more of a Ronald Reagan moderate.
I thought we were required to know what God (Jesus) wants us to do and do exactly that. Isn't that why we study the Bible? It is just that the libs have twisted thinking and reasoning. But this IS what a Christian is expected to do.
Fine you can do that and I do as well, but when you say "Would Jesus vote for such and such?" I believe that it is done in a disrespectful way. I can't stand the libs when they do this. It is done like some stupid tag line or something. It is not done in a serious way. Yes we are in the year 2006, but Jesus was not for the "in" things. We don't need to have a "cool Jesus". We need to understand right and wrong and learn what is in the Bible, but let's use the Bible as it was designed. If the libs want to quote the words of Jesus fine, but not in a fadish way...Just my opinion, but those that do this are not funny IMHO.
I'd hold Jesus to higher standards of honesty than the comparison you make. I'm sorry you don't.
Keyes was only goofy to those blind on this subject.
Thank you for your link sir...
I can't say I disagree with anything you have stated.
I don't think Jesus would vote for anyone...Wasn't he a Monarchist?
