Jesus happened to have a Father who very wisely gave his children the gift of free will. For that reason, Jesus would vote for the person who most represented his political philosophy and he wouldn't tell anyone else who he chose.

Well, God didn't want Israel to have a king (1 Samuel 8), but he allowed it to happen. Of course, we're talking about Jesus, a president and the United States. I think that Christian churches in the U.S. would benefit most by the election of Ron Paul. Though running for the Republican nomination, his background is libertarian. Therefore, he must believe in drastic reduction in government size and taxation. Welfare would be greatly minimized, and this is good. Why? Well the view of the LP is that the decrease in taxation will enable citizens to engage in direct representation by choosing how to allocate their money. Are we too greedy as a people that we need to be forced to give to the poor? Or is it an option that we would enjoy participating in and be proud of? I think that local communities can identify their own problems and welfare needs through churches and the denominational networks can address needs in areas of greater poverty. As an optimist, I think that it would be great for Americans to make these decisions for themselves and become more active with local churches, rather than being forced to give the always inefficient government money to decide which poor are taken care of. In short, we would be empowered to help more people who need it and be able to choose who and how we did it. So yeah, Ron Paul 2008, who is pretty darned pro-life, too.

Jesus is clearly a democrat - cares about people, believes in turning the other cheek, is worried about poor and homeless.
Problem is that God is a Republican - believes in an eye for an eye, is prejudiced toward homosexuals., is against premaritial sex.
So their votes cancel each other out because they are both in the same electoral district (Jesus sits at the right hand of God) and because they are "good" they both vote every time they should.
That's why no poliiticians ever go to heaven to plead their case or debate. Two party system gets you nowhere everytime.

Jesus is disgusted with both plutocratic parties.
He's always been one to root for the underdog. I think Jesus would support a third party candidate.

Jesus doesn't choose presidents. If you read the bible you would know satan rules the world.

Jesus is dead, hello wake it up. If he were alive he would probably be hunted down by our current president as a terrorist insighting dangerous ideas against the US. George Bush is a corrupt president and history will mark him as one of the worst of all time.

Jesus has nothing to do with it. Jesus will let us mortals
make our own mistakes whatever the outcome.

Hillary Clinton has the intelligence and experience as a Senator and former First Lady to be a good President.
VOTE for your choice as US President on my 360 degrees blog and know who will likely win.
