Chandler was careful to also criticize the legislative policies of the political Left, which he characterized as "morally reprehensible and demonic,” in an apparent reference to pro-abortion Democrats.

The fact that we have imperfect politicians has never been doubted.

The question is whether that should relieve Christians of their civic duty to vote against what the Bible calls "abomination" in Lev 18 - such as destruction of marriage, killing babies etc -- all mentioned there.

When an unsaved politician says "if you vote for me I will try to get less babies killed" -- well then it is a good idea.
When an unsaved politician says "if you vote for me I will try to get unlimitted baby killing promoted" -- well that is a bad idea.
