Would Jesus want to cut welfare, so he could eliminate the Estate Tax? Would he take the side of corporations over the poor and needy? If Jesus came back today would he want a loaded gun rack on the back window of his Hummer? Would he like Dick Cheney and Ann Couter? Would he vote for Mitt Romney?

All these cracks against the conservatives and yet you conveniently leave out the many sins of the democratic party.
First of all, as a Christian, your use of Jesus' name to add credibility to your position is profane! Jesus is the Son of God and could promote any person he desired into the White House with a mere thought!
Yet there is still the matter of you aggrandizing the libs while leaving out the many postions they support that are not Biblilical, unchristian, and absolutely sinful.
Jesus made it very clear how He feels about children. You can read it in all four of the gospels. Libs support abortion or the legalized murder of babies.
Jesus also made a definitive statement concerning marriage being between a man and a woman. If that is not enough for you, look what God did to Sodom & Gomorrah. He so destroyed that city and sullied its name that the sexual act between 2 men became known as sodomy!
Jesus took one boys small lunch and miraculously multiplied it so that it fed 5,000 people. God sent manna, meat, and water to the Israelites during their migrationto the promised land. Does that negate the words of the New Testament which say, "a workman is worthy of his hire? Anyone who is capable of working and providing for their families should. Conservatives do not want to eliiminate welfare. The estate tax and welfare are 2 separate issues anyway.
Jesus walked wherever he went unless by sea and once he even chose to walk on water. What makes you think he would need a Hummer or a gun?
Put to a standard like Jesus, none of us are worthy. None of us would get His vote, but he would love (like) all of us. He proved that 2000 years ago when he died on a cross for our sins!

Jesus would probably be considered an illegal immigrant (I can't quite see Him applying for a visa), so he wouldn't be eligible to vote. On the plus side, being omniscient, he already knows how to speak English and I'll bet he can ace the citizenship test. And no matter how high a wall the feds build on the border, I don't think they'll be able to keep Him out if He wants to come in.
Seriously, Christ would probably have no objection to voting and would certainly not be a fan of the current Republican platform. He'd have problems with the Democrats too, no doubt -mostly they wouldn't have a sufficiently leftist economic platform by His standards. But since He was big on forgiveness, would probably still support them. If he was willing to use tax collectors as his Apostles, he'd be willing to support sinners to help reduce poverty and suffering.

Jesus replaced into approximately helping the needy, yet there remained poor and ill between the Jews of his time. Jesus taught his followers to voluntarily make a contribution to the help of the deprived. authorities compels help. Taxes are actually not voluntary. authorities handouts destroy *charity.* A case would properly be made that some authorities courses sell vice.

Jesus would NOT vote Republican. He would be in favor of helping the poor and needy - something that Republicans are against for some strange reason.

Jesus believed in Charity. Not rulers.

Well, might I say it is very irreverent to speak of the Son of God that way. Your questions - he judged individuals not who they were friends with. Welfare was nonexistent is Jesus day - are you your brother's keeper, yes & the goverment does not need to regulate charity we do. He would have no need for a gun - resurrected mean anything to you. I believe he would love everyone & chatise us all. Mitt Romney has been speaking to him through prayers for 50 years, so he knows him but is unregistered to vote.

No, hopefully he'll allow the candidate with integrity and the country's best interests in mind take center stage and win the election. Right now, the devil has strong control of the frontrunners and their media coverage.

Nope. He'd ask instead; "Which of those among them would cast the first stone...?" -and then he'd WALK to his next destination (Crawford, Texas- I suspect; where nobody would seem to know where the family "Bush" lived...). :)

Jesus's concern was the human soul and forgiveness, not politics.
