Voting
I'm not sure who I ought to vote for in the US presidental election this year, so I asked Google.
Typing in "Who should I vote for?" and clicking I'm Feeling Lucky brought up a page entitled Why Christians Should Not Vote for George W. Bush, written on 15 February 2004 by Dr. Patrick Johnson. Dr. Johnson concludes that Bush's record shows him to be far too liberal (that is, left wing) to deserve Christian votes.
Dr. Johnson seems to suggest that I vote for the Constitutional Party candidate, who according to their site is Michael A. Peroutka.
Mr. Peroutka stands for God, Family, Republic. In fact, the Constitutional Party posts a mission statement. This one's a little clearer than some of the others I've seen lately:
The mission of the Constitution Party is to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity through the election, at all levels of government, of Constitution Party candidates who will uphold the principles of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States. It is our goal to limit the federal government to its delegated, enumerated, Constitutional functions and to restore American jurisprudence to its original Biblical common-law foundations.
Hmm. I'm glad Google resolved this little question for me in such a straightforward manner.
