Peter,
No candidate can become a savior but one candidate is better than the other. Which one is better, however, is for the voter to decide.
Claude Mariottini
No, you don’t vote for better one. As long as we are in this world while we are not of this world, we should vote for the less evil.
The worst evil is the sheer disregard to life. Those for such procedure as pushing a baby back to mother’s womb and crush the head and tear limbs apart and pull this tissue lumps to discard (so called partial birth abortion) is on the side evil, practicing cruel infanticide (worse than child sacrifice to Molech in O.T. times). If one disregards life, he/she cannot be a Christian. If called a Christian, it would be a worse hypocrite than the Pharisees Jesus denounced.
Any political slogan is just a manifestation of either this basic stand on one’s evilness and goodness.
Ounbbl, I agree that the worst evil is disregard for life. That is why I don’t think Christians should vote for any candidate who supports waging wars of aggression. Indeed, “If one disregards life, he/she cannot be a Christian.” So perhaps I shouldn’t vote for anyone, at least if the candidates’ policies are really as alleged by their enemies. Well, of course, I don’t have the vote.
