So will you vote for President strictly on the issues? or do you have a moral criteria?

Question

That will direct you on your voting decision?

Based on the answers, if you would vote for an Atheist, seems to be split down the middle, HOWEVER if you were asked would you vote for a Homosexual President? I am sure many of you would say no but I could be wrong...

People for the most part are easily swayed by the masses, just to fit into society, they want to be PC and people please.

This is what most Independents and Republicans think of the Democrat agenda. President Bush has made some grave mistakes, but we are far better off than Kerry being in office or Al Gore and his Global Warming drivel.

Do you draw the line on morality in who can be Presdient of the USA?

Answer 1

Once again, yes I would vote for a gay or Atheist person as long as I agreed with their stance. Your personal morals direct your beliefs on issues.

Answer 2

What a person believes is their own choice. I do not seek to shove my religion down anyone's throat and I appreciate the same. What they do with their partner is frankly none of my business. What I do with my husband is none of their business. I don't need to know. I have heard morality until I am sick of it. You have people dying daily because of this incompetent but "moral" president that shoved his way into office. I hardly think God is Republican and I doubt seriously that he is backing George on this one. You can thump the bible all day long but that does not make you a good person. You can wave the flag until Hell freezes but that does not make you a patriot. I have heard so much empty rhetoric that it is pitiful. Get real. America needs help from where this morality crusade has taken us. Keep and practice your religion all you want but keep it out of government. We are not exclusively a Christian country here and the founding fathers feared people like you when they put the separation of church and state into the constitution. At this point, I would say a hatchet murderer could do better than Bush. You want to talk about mass murder?????? Try your good and moral president. Half the world thinks him and idiot and the rest think him Satan.

Answer 3

I don't care if the president is atheist, agnostic, deist, theist, polytheist, straight, bisexual, homosexual, man, woman, white, black, hispanic, asian, or any combination therein. All I care about are a candidate's positions on the issues. This is supposed to be the land of the free where we don't discriminate against those things, after all.

Morality is a completely subjective issue anyway. One person's "morality" is completely different from another's. A lot of people voted for Bush based on "moral values", and personally I think he's a completely immoral person.

Answer 4

i do no longer think of an argument or many themes is the perfect onus, i think a applicants finished potential, the all encompassing effect they could have might desire to be the determinator. Age is a key factor Clinton is now too previous and could drag via 4 to eight years in basic terms as this century won a liveliness and momentum, that would desire to deny that sizable fowl in the sky genuine wingspan and reason loss and harm besides the reality that unseen yet in certainty the blunting of a countries valid credit and properly worth. Obama has kind and character however the marvel easing and oozing this is silent way under the carpet and foundation could be in basic terms as unacceptable. Giuliani is a small zone or small area genius and grasp however concepts utilized by using wizards on the CIA could tutor that that capability could fail to evolve and adapt at greater advantageous a international and duty. John Edwards has stable, calm and assertive employer and impression that would desire to prevail in the utmost representation however the roadblock of Mrs Clinton's could too effectively hamper and thwart him as different worth and genuine "winners" have been earlier by using destiny and risk.... lost in the tendrils of time and attempt. Mitt Romney may be the popular and superb next president with a clean, somewhat youthful and precise an honoring and gratifying of each and all of the standards in spite of any peculiarities in few of although many themes offerred as others is additionally in the area of specialization and variety of. i'm an Australian and don't help any candidate.

Answer 5

I think I would choose based on listening carefully to the candidates, trying to hear who lines up most closely with God's laws. This can be tricky because some candidates have been playing to the "religious right" and saying what they think we want to hear. I have an inner discernment that usually serves me well. I can see beneath what a person does or says and determine their character. I trust my gut.

Character is a huge thing for me. Watching the Dem debate on sunday I saw a great lack of character in the way they were bashing on Bush and each other. To me, that is not a mature and intelligent way to make a point, so I think they are lacking in good character. It isn't about what they have done in the past, everyone makes mistakes, but character is an underlying intentity that you can't hide.

What issues are important to God and where do these candidates stand on those issues? It is often a weird mix, so I'd seek the Lord's guidance on who to vote for.

Answer 6

I will vote strictly on the issues and thus the moral criteria will be handled just fine. An president who is conservative will have moral and ethical stances that I agree with. A conservative will not be homosexual, would not be athiest, would not be PC, and most of all would actually take a stances on the same side of the fence as me. He/she would not stradle the fence just to satisfy the media. Liberals such as Clinton said they stradled the fence, but actions speak louder than words. I don't trust either of the parties, but at least more conservative reside in the republican party.

Answer 7

Morality plays an important role for me in selecting my candidate. My plan now is to vote for Obama for president. If the DNC is foolish enough to nominate Clinton I will vote for the Republican, no matter who it is. I cannot vote for a hypocritical liar and thief, probably a murder for the country's highest (or any other) office.

Answer 8

I think the last election proved that alot of people are more motivated to vote against someone, then for someone, which is sad. I did vote for Bush in the last election because I voted for who I felt was best for the job. Far too many voted for Kerry only because they didn't want Bush to win, thats not healthy for our country.

In the upcoming election I will vote based on issues and where each canidate stands. If its a democrat, so be it, if its a republician, so be it. Thats how it SHOULD be, but far too many people vote the party line regardless of issues.

Answer 9

I don't give much consideration to race, gender, sexual orientation or religion. If a person believes the same as I on more issues than his opponant I will vote for him. If by some chance they were equal, I have never had one yet, than I might consider other factors starting with religion then gender, then race and finaly orientation.

Answer 10

i think you need strong morals to lead a nation.. heck, i think you need strong morals to be a good human being.. to me, morality is something that is instilled in all of us. what's right and what's wrong. if you have a developed enough brain, you're able to distinguish between the two. No, i would NOT vote for a homosexual prez. that's not the Christian in me talking... that's just the human morality in me talking. two men or two women... yuck... were NOT meant to bump uglies. two dogs of the same sex might try to hump each other,,, but, their DOGS.. anyway, didn't mean to go off on a tangent...just trying to explain what the thought process was.

and we're not able to leave morality issues out of our minds when we are choosing a candidate. we ALL have opinions on EVERYTHING. it's just whether or not we choose to say them. to say that a person can honestly not have an opinion and not have that opinion affect what you do or say,... is irresponsible.
