Why Christians Should Not Vote for George W. Bush

>G.W. Bush is pro-abortion, pro-homosexual, he’s anti-gun, and he’s the 
>biggest spender in American history.  American conservatives have taken the 
>bait at the expense of their cause and God’s glory.


I had no idea he was such a goddamn flaming liberal.  Well.  Makes me want to  
sign right up to support his reelection campaign. he.

>“A vote for Howard Phillips,” (the only pro-life, pro-family constitutional 
>Presidential candidate on the ballot 2000) “is a vote for Al Gore.”  


>If you are shortsighted, pragmatism will dictate that you vote for the least 
>wicked man who will do the least amount of wickedness and destroy the least 
>amount of your freedoms these next four years.  I have a good friend who 
>can’t stand President Bush’s pro-abortion or pro-homosexual leanings or his 
>big-government remedy for every social ill, but he voted for Bush in 2000 
>anyway because the one thing he feared more than Bush was Gore.  But if you 
>vote for the lesser of two evils every four years, the lesser of two evils 
>will inevitably become more and more wicked!  If you vote for the most 
>conservative of two liberals every four years, the most conservative liberal 
>will become more and more liberal!  Your vision must be greater than the next

No kidding.  It's just weird to hear a conservative say it.



>In 1995, James Dobson of Focus on the Family publicly repented on air and in 
>his March newsletter for having supported somewhat pro-choice politicians.

I've listened to 'Focus on the Family'; it's a popular radio show
on Christian stations around the country, based in Chicago.  I find it to be a 
symbol of what's worst about evangelical Christianity.  Dobson is a rich man, 
very slick, and everyone who works with him on the program kisses his ass.  


I never thought I'd read an article written by someone outside of the 
Washington political circles who believed GW wasn't conservative (or harsh) 
enough. 
(Thanks to Nick for posting it.) 

The article doesn't simply mix up Christianity and conservatism, it states one 
is a Christian iff one follows all conservative precepts.  Which is wrong, but 
then I'm a bad tree.  bad, bad tree.  bad fruit.
