Pro-life is the main issue that would draw my vote for a candidate. Then it would come down to electability, unless... there was a candidate that convinced me that God was doing something unique with them. Like, I loved Huckabee, he was aligned with most of my values if not all. McCain would have gotten my vote though because he is Pro-life and More Electable and Strong on defending the homeland.
But if it was between Alan Keyes and another pro-life candidate, I would have to vote for Keyes. I think , if Keyes is all that he seems, I would vote for Keyes over McCain. I would like to hear Keyes plan to unite our nation over the racial tensions that so many black voices keep stirring to fill their own bank accounts. I want to see one of the very capable, truly Godly, black men of our nation step up to the plate and bring some peace to the racial tensions of our nation. It's a shame that we have allowed the enemy to divide God's church along the lines of color and race. I think it grieves the Lord to see us distrust one another more than we trust God.
If a man stands up with Godly wisdom and true integrity... I would vote for him no matter the color of his skin or the party he aligns himself to. Because if he is truly a man of integrity, he will not join himself to an organization of hate. And if he is a man passionate and gifted with Godly wisdom, he would be capable of leading a nation. But most of all... if he has a love for Jesus Christ and a respect for the Word of God -- the handbook of the framers of this nation -- I would vote for such a man.
I tell my children all the time to not be fooled by what a person says. You need to watch how they treat the people around them, what kind of character they walk with on good days and bad days, and how diligent they are to be honest concerning the little things as well as the big things. A person can say anything... politicians and political parties have proved that. But what a person does, how they act, what decisions they actually walk out -- that's the measure of who they are. Not what they say they are.
I don't know much about this Ron Paul. He may be a good guy, but he hasn't crossed my path in life in any way except a sign in a yard or two and his name mentioned in a list on a forum. But Alan Keyes, way back in the day was being faithful in the little things. He was on the radio speaking truth despite what the black camp or the white camp thought. He was only concerned with God's camp and being a voice for what he felt God said was right and wrong. His walk has been true as an American (and simply as a man) from what little I know of him. I'd like to hear more from him. If he aligns himself with this Constitution Party, I think it gives that party some credibility.
I don't know enough to arrive at a solid conclusion about it all.
But it's definitely got my attention. And if God makes it plain that I need to cast a vote without regard to electability, I'd go there. You can't just follow where ever a wind may blow, but when the Spirit of God is in that wind... I wouldn't hesitate to risk all to follow it. Something's gotta change in this nation, serious change. But I just don't believe Obama will bring that change in a positive way. Looking at his character and the smell of his walk so far... it just doesn't seem trust worthy. It seems political and focused on an uncertain agenda. He will definitely bring the change that he touts he will bring... but I'm not convinced it will be positive change.
Change is not always a good thing. Sometimes it's a subtle holocaust.
We cannot overlook that fact that Change means that something will die and something will be born.
Sometimes, what dies and what lives is not what we expected. All of us had better be paying attention during this time of transition and shifting in our nation.
