It's an unquestionable mistake to support someone who is implementing one or a few things you believe should be implemented, if they are doing so for reasons that have nothing to do with your reasons for supporting the actions. Particularly with actions of such grave importance and uncontrollability.
If you vote for Bush, who is arguably deciding things based on the Rapture (the Messiah will return once there is a great conflict in the Middle East and the Jews return to 'their' land), you are supporting his belief system - whether you share it or not. You may believe that it's nothing more than the correct course to achieve democracy in Iraq, but as long as Bush believes he is fulfilling some prophecy from the ancients (or Zorkon the Space God), his actions will be directed at a goal to which you do not share - fulfilling the prophecy or appeasing Zorkon. You have but one chance to make your voice heard - if you use it to support the person who follows Zorkon, Zorkon is what you will receive.
Intentions are extremely important in all things.
