Christians: Would you vote for candidate A or candidate B? (see details)?

Question

A purely hypothetical U.S. election for president, and these are the 2 candidates:

A.) A former Senator who did wonders for the economy of his
home state, is well loved overseas, is peace minded but won't hesitate to use the military if it is truly called for,made bills that both reduced crime and strengthened the middle class... but wants to keep Church and state totally seperate. No "under god" in the pledge, no Intelliegent design in public schools, no 10 commandments on government property, no marriage amendment. He is an agnostic that feels religion should be a personal choice.

B.) A former governor who was indicted numerous times, had
3 admitted affairs, it was discovered that he used cocaine all through his 20s, his state's economy is in the toilet, and he has been heard numerous times spouting racist remarks... but he wants ID taught in public shools, wants marriage to be only man + woman, wants to use tax dollars to spread Christianity to 3rd world nations.

Oh, and please, no remarks about how unlikely it would be for either person to become candidate for president. This is a purely HYPOTHETICAL situation. In this scenario, you have to vote for
person A or B. Thank-you.

Alright, how about this... if you wouldn't vote (presumbably because you absolutely won't vote for a non-Christian, but still can't bring yorself to vote for the obvious scumball)... how would you HOPE the election turned out?

*yourself :P

Answer 1

I would absolutely vote for candidate A in all honesty. Candidate A has done what politicians SHOULD do.. Worked on the economy.. doesn't rush to war... reduced crime.. etc, etc. Candidate B sounds like a criminal.. is morally bankrupt.. and is someone that I would never want to be in charge of my country.

While I see that the question poses the idea of the good guy not wanting Christianity in and the bad guy wanting it.. I would go for the good guy above the bad one any day. Some of what Candidate B has done.. was in the past (such as using drugs, etc).. but it sounds like he can't do his job (crappy work on the economy.. etc).. He sounds just like a disaster in my opinion.

I also respect that Candidate A believes that religion should be a personal choice. I am a Christian, but I don't expect that everyone should be.. and I don't think that it should be 'pushed' on others either. I may not agree with some of what he thinks.. but overall, he seems the much better choice.

With Candidate B, I also wonder what kind of example he would set trying to get up there and suggest that all these Christan things need to be done.. but he himself is a disaster.

I personally pay a lot more attention to whether the Candidate can actually do their job than what their religion is. A definitely sounds like he did his job formerly... Candidate B sounds like he was useless at his job.

Answer 2

I would choose A.
We are living in the fallout from Godless schools now. I am really afraid that anything short of a Jesus revolution in the USA will leave us on our present course. The war in the Middle East is about to escalate. Once that fallout hits within our borders maybe our outlook will change. There is always hope. We are about to experience Candidate A. And we will wonder why that didn't work and look for yet more answers when we all know the real answer is Jesus weather we like it or not.

Answer 3

A..for the simple fact that at least he is honest about what he wants to do in position....I think that candidate B would be a great risk because he seems to be playing on the needs of the majority.Christian or not..people want "right and good".Maybe he plays on right and good to gain position..throw a little bone to the people who voted and follows little if nothing he says he would.He does have a history.At least if it's candidate A..you know your battles if elected.

Answer 4

I would vote for (b). We already know the dirt about him , reminds me kind of like King David , I disagree with spending tax dollars to spread the gospel in. third world nations as I read more it almost sounds like Clinton as far as being the governor of a state whose economy is now and was in the toilet him being governor . so (B) would be the man that I vote for .

Answer 5

I'd vote for A. The fact that B wants ID taught in public schools, would use tax dollars for missionary efforts, and is homophobic would be enough to discourage me from ever voting for him.

Answer 6

I'd go with B. I'd vote for any religion over an agnostic. Can't make a decision on whether or not there is a God, and he wants to run the country. An atheist who can at least make a decision and defend it would be a better choice for me.

Answer 7

so some distance elections are rigged through locals, meaning Indian human beings basically;yet as a effect of the deep presence of sonia of italy, because of whom, US might want to seal a deal in nuclear race with India, in the previous counting of votes, US has been waiting to rig elections, through traveling India to suggestion retaining at bay the left at any fee and also asking chandrababu naidoo, chiranjeevi and vijayakanth ec to help UPA or NDA; on condition that BJP reacted at present putting forward we do not want such an interference, US has chosen to favour UPA, which will be seen in lack of left in westbengal and keral precisely turning out to be the coolest points for UPA to take it to this excellent. as well to, arun jaitley began 'Modi the PM next' on condition that he's aplant through NCP shradpawar n BJP, through BCCI and IPL, as arunjaitley is a member of BCCI. Indian electorate truly rejected politicians; whoever predicted to win for my section did not win; even the margins of voctory for VVIPs are so low that human beings in simple terms did their responsibility to vote.

Answer 8

A.

Look, I'm a strong Christian, but I don't care whether or not we say "under God." And the rest of his morals sound incredibly solid, and would really work. Religion is a personal choice; we shouldn't try forcing it on anyone.
And I'm for gay marriage.

B sounds like a tyrant.

Answer 9

I am a Christian and I would pick candidate A in a heartbeat.

Mind you I am also a Canadian and can't vote in the U.S. elections :)

Answer 10

neither one. I'll bet you're going to come back with some answer that will really set us on our heels. I wouldn't vote in that election if that were the only two choices.
