As a pacifist, I struggle with point 4. I agree with the broad idea that candidates are more than just one or two polemical issues. However, when I fundamentally disagree with a way that a candidate is coming at an issue, it's hard for me to support him/her overall. For an extreme (and humorous) example: hobo conscription. We clean up our streets and solve that pesky troop-shortage problem! If a candidate were touting that, but had a great health care plan, the health care plan would never outweigh the awfulness of his/her other position. So if Barack Obama is making it easier for people to have abortions, and John McCain (RIP) seems to care less about the poor (as well as being very pro-war), I don't think we as believers should choose the lesser of two evils--I think we shouldn't vote for either of them. That doesn't so much abolish abortion as a litmus test as make the litmus test a lot harder to pass. Which stinks if you're very into politics and love participating in the process, but Jesus never gives the option for expediency to outweigh obedience. While I do agree with the quote, you're right, it is very polemic. But some of the best quotes are. ;-)<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('2114','Scott'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('2114','Scott','I mostly strongly agree with point 5.Â As a pacifist, I struggle with point 4.Â I agree with the broad idea that candidates are more than just one or two polemical issues.Â However, when I fundamentally disagree with a way that a candidate is coming at an issue, it\'s hard for me to support him\/her overall.Â For an extreme (and humorous) example: hobo conscription.Â We clean up our streets and solve that pesky troop-shortage problem!Â If a candidate were touting that, but had a great health care plan, the health care plan would never outweigh the awfulness of his\/her other position.Â So if Barack Obama is making it easier for people to have abortions, and John McCain (RIP) seems to care less about the poor (as well as being very pro-war), I don\'t think we as believers should choose the lesser of two evils--I think we shouldn\'t vote for either of them.Â That doesn\'t so much abolish abortion as a litmus test as make the litmus test a lot harder to pass.Â Which stinks if you\'re very into politics and love participating in the process, but Jesus never gives the option for expediency to outweigh obedience.Â \r\n\r\nWhile I do agree with the quote, you\'re right, it is very polemic.Â But some of the best quotes are. ;-)'); return false;">Quote</a></div> I mostly strongly agree with point 5.
