Now this one Jesus might do, and turn the other cheek, but I'd rather not be killed by a terrorist.
Last one take as you will.
I could see a 'god fearing christian' not voting for Bush, but I could never see the same one voting for Kerry. If you believe that abortion is murder then those who support it have commited a genocide as great as any despot.
I'd hate to have to explain that at the pearly gates.

Jesus spoke of our duty to the poor. He didn't demonize them, or make assisting them sound hopeless.
The rest are quite off base. They have zero to negative scriptural backing, and don't even make sense as slams on kerry.
Nor...did i suggest we elect Jesus. That was Woody Guthrie, in his classic country gospel song: "Christ for President."
What i did suggest is that Republicans hardly have a monopoly on Christian values. Neither party is perfect.
