I will cast my vote for a Republican candidate, the only strict constitutionalist who is a consistent force for limited government, state’s rights and sound money, as well as a man so pro-life that he has personally delivered over 4000 babies while never taking a dime in federal welfare money for his services.  He is so committed to life that he wants to never attack other nations preemptively. 
I will vote for Congressman Ron Paul.

But I got respect for the Ron Paul vote. My only advice be careful of Guiliani and Romney, they are just another class of sleezy politicians. Guiliani hides behind 9-11 and Romney hides behind fake Republican ideals.

It’s so sad to see those “Christian” Republican candidates who are the very definition of “hypocrite.” Wonder who the next one is to be found consorting with prostitutes!

That is for sure! However, don’t go making fun of the prostitute mess. I think Dems and Reps are just as religious. I don’t think Reps are anymore pious than Dems. However, they all make the same mistakes. Don’t forget the Bill Clinton mess. Scandal does not know party affiliation. I don’t like conservatives telling me I am a sinner for being liberal. But don’t do the same thing back to conservatives. Let them be the hypocrites, not us.

Paul from working on the Hill, but to say we invited 9/11 is nuts.  Islamists declared war against us and attacked us on 9/11.  Since ‘79 (the Iranian hostage crisis) there are over 50 terrorist acts against us by Militant Islamist Extremists—only five after we liberated Iraq.  We were Islamic terrorist targets long before we attacked Saddam.  Al Qaeda also stated their goal of creating a worldwide Islamic caliphate, resurrecting the Islamic empires of the Middle Ages, when they ruled most of the civilized world, from Spain to India, from northern Africa to parts of southern Europe.  If we leave Iraq, they’ll follow us home.  As for Kucinich, his “soak the rich” tax policies would clobber many middle class retirees – incl. me and my wife, both disabled, with an annual income under 75K, made up of investment income as well as pensions.  My pro-life vote in the Texas GOP primary is leaning toward Romney, but I’d certainly consider Huckabee or Fred Thompson.

America) said:  When you become entitled to
exercise the right of voting for public officers, let it be impressed on your mind that
God commands you to choose for rulers just men
who will rule in the fear of God. The preservation of a republican government depends
on the faithful discharge of this duty”. No
candidate running at present fits that bill other than Ron Paul!!!!

Paul, like most Libertarians seems ignorant of John Stuart Mill’s observation, “War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.” MAJ Richard Centner, Army, Ret.

It was easy to see that Mike huckabee has good strong Christian values. He really means what he says. We all should really look at the persons values and the way they have voted in the past. Please don’t let politics get in the way of who you vote for as president.

Taylor and his quote from Noah Webster about voting for persons with a fear (awe) of God to preserve our Republic (but not with his choice of candidates).

I also agree with Wm. Lynn Dixon’s comments about the
Mormon church.  I have read widely about the founders of this cult and their doctrines.  It behooves Christians to educate themselves about the various cults and other religions in America.  There are a number of informative books on the market.  Walter Martin’s revised The Kingdom of the Cults is the classic.  I am appalled by Christians who say they will vote for a member of the LDS (Mormon church), placing “conservative” values above beliefs and practices.

In my opinion, neither the Democrats nor Republicans are moral enough for me to be counted with them.

I chose the Constitution Party because of their platform - which, like our founding fathers, acknowledges Jesus Christ as the head of this country and government.
“The Constitution Party gratefully acknowledges the blessing of our Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ as Creator, Preserver and Ruler of the Universe and
of these United States. We hereby appeal to Him for mercy, aid, comfort,
guidance and the protection of His Providence as we work to restore and
preserve these United States.”

Even if you argue with Bush over the war, you should concede that he got Partial Birth Abortions banned under his clock.  You are making a decision that future generations will have to live with by the liberal laws they will attempt to pass if put into office.  You can dislike the candidate and still support the fact that they will vote your Christian values more than the others.

This election is too important to vacate the electoral process. I fully support Mike Huckabee as the only candidate in the GOP party who holds to the same cultural, spiritual, and political values that I hold to. I think it’s important that we vote according to our convictions on the issues and not according to “who can beat” another candidate as Richard Land seems to be doing according to his statements quoted on ABC yesterday. Mike Huckabee can beat Hillary - but it’s not about that....it’s about who is the best man for the office of President. And Mike Huckabee wins my vote for that reason.

Dan Marriott (R-UT) from ‘79-’82.  He had me handle issues affecting the LDS Church, to avoid conflicts of interest.  Those opposing Romney for his religious beliefs must explain why secular humanists shouldn’t oppose Christians for the same reason.  To them, Christians believe in an unreal God and in fairy tale miracles.  Whether true or not, they believe it, and it can bias their voting.  Should we allow the fact that LDS theology is heretical be the sole reason we withhold our vote?  I count on the Lord to give us a slate that includes the man He wants, but he may not be the “perfect” candidate.  God did use the pagan Cyrus to free the Jews in the OT, after all.  [2 Chron 36] Between a pro-life LDS candidate & a pro-choice nominal Christian, I’ll take the Mormon every time.  I don’t know who my vote is going to yet, but I won’t dismiss any of them out of hand.

Brown, Ron Paul, and those like them make a fatal error in their view of Iraq, where Al Qaeda has chosen to open a front.  There were TWO fatwas:  1996
(http://www.pbs.org/newshour/terrorism/international/fatwa_1996.html) and the 1998 declaration: (http://www.pbs.org/newshour/terrorism/international/fatwa_1998.html) The key passage in 1998 reads, “We - with God’s help - call on every Muslim who believes in God and wishes to be rewarded to comply with God’s order to KILL THE AMERICANS and plunder their money WHEREVER AND WHENEVER they find it.” The U.S. is the “Great Satan” not because we are the most evil, but because the Islamists see us as the nation that most tempts young Muslims to a live in depravity.  U.S. pop culture is everywhere and, thus, must be obliterated if Islamic virtue is to be protected.  Islamists are fighting an ideological war that can end only in total victory.  Coexistence isn’t an option.  MAJ Richard Centner, Jr., Army, Ret.  Salaam Aleichem
