who will you vote for?

[Cris413]

For what it is worth... I will be voting Republican, so I will be voting for McCain. Though I will be casting my vote this week - I will not be casting my hope...

My hope is not on Capitol Hill, but it is on Calvary's hill.

My hope will not be in the White House, but it will be in the church house.

May God's people be humble, and may God be merciful.

2 Chron 7:14
14 If my people , which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

This is worth a repeat!

..and I think John needs a break...

I can assure you that I couldn't even keep up with
that man's busy schedule with travelling!!
I don't know how he does it!:o

 

[Nadiine]

Love the woohoo!

Hopefully it will be over as well and not a giant brouhaha if Obama loses.

I think McCain might bow out gracefully if he loses...not so sure about Obama though...

Has Florida "learned" how to vote yet?

I pray I get to see Obama's loss speech. That might be the only speech
I'll listen to from him - and be WORTH listening to


(I might be opinionated)

It would be telling character to see his response to loss~if he handles it with grace and calms his supporters then he is to be respected..

Me, neither, not for this long, anyway. I guess that's one of the things that separates us from those driven to politics.

P.S. I love seeing Joe Lieberman at so many stops for McCain. I disagree with many of his views, but he's such a nice man.

Well, if McCain WERE a Conservative, I'd be wavering. But voting for him is choosing between a radical (Obama)and a liberal (McCain). We've got to have an alternative, for America's sake if nothing else.

And as said before, if you live in a state where McCain is going to be soundly defeated, you are throwing your vote away, whereas if you vote third party, that is noticed and can make a difference in coming elections...keeping the Republicans from making the same mistake again, for example. BUT there is another consideration. If you vote for someone whose vote totals are so small that the media don't report them, nothing is accomplished that way either, except for your peace of mind. When I advocated a consideration of making a statement with a vote for a third party candidate, that assumes that there will be enough others voting with you to make a statement. Only Bob Barr and Ralph Nader are in that category. The other dozen or so third party candidates will not draw enough votes for anyone to notice...and being noticed is the whole point.

BTW, I don't follow what you might have in mind when saying that the time to support a third party is before the election. How would that accomplish anything--to put up a third party candidate and then not support him?

As for the polls, it's unfortunately true that they have been pretty accurate in the past few elections, although only certain polls (so you have to know which one to lean on) and only with the presidency. The further down the list of candidates one goes, the less reliable the polling.

Yep, that's just how I figure it, so QFT!

And Barr would have been my first choice anyway.

Yes, I'm hoping we get to see that.

that wouldn't even gain my respect for this man -

esp. when I can't know motive.

If he does lose...I think he may just be calm about it...I think he might want to take another run for the Pres...and the fit Gore threw when he lost really cast him in and bad light and I think really hurt his career...I think Obama is smart enough to see that...

...however...he may let his supporters run rampant though...kinda like the messiah thing...he may not openly advocate it...but he sure doesn't do anything to dissuade it either.

 

[CADude12]

I already voted for McCain/Palin and For Prop 8. Very happy I did so, too. And the Colts just when up on the despised NE Patriots!

Ya Gore's true colors sure came out. I've seen Obama's too tho a few different times and it's frightening. Sadly people are blinded where he's concerned - & many aren't blind; they want him becuz he's who he is.

If he wins tomorrow, I'll know America's clock is on a countdown. (can't prove it, but feel it spiritually) & that this nation will deserve the man they asked for in their deception.
God help us.

And yet it may be a new & glorious chapter for the Church in America too~these sort of changes can go either way; Christians can get bitter and angry (and let everyone around them know it) or simply keep doing God's work and loving their neighbor, even if they voted "wrong"

Obama or McCain

Yep...Give us a KING!

Who was it who said..."be careful for what you ask...you just might get it"

And to paraphrase Mr Spock..."sometimes the wanting is more pleasing than the having"


LOL...apparently I had another "MOOT" moment in my post...the fit Gore "threw" not "through" LOL...I didn't notice it until I saw your quote...LOL

Does anyone know how I can get my brain off auto-pilot?...

I never said or deny that God can't make good happen from bad.

It doesn't change something from what it actually is... bad.

I'm wearing my Nobama shirt to the Polls under a jacket; then when I walk out, take the jacket off.
