Conservatives are disillusioned and discouraged. More than any other recent presidential election, they are disunified on the Republican candidate. And the Democrat candidate is the first pro-infanticide candidate to run for political office. So they don't like that guy much either.
Kevin Swanson tries to assemble a few reasons to vote for John McCain but has a hard time whipping up much enthusiasm in that order. It's sort of hard to figure out who should preside over the continued amassing of political tyranny and the breakdown of a society. But more importantly, what does God think about our political priorities? How does God want us to vote?

“ Great Sermon! John McCain??? ” The voters in this household have been debating whether to vote for John McCain or writing in Baldwin. One of us remembered the parable of the talents and made the case that voting for a third party candidate would be like the servant who took his one talent and buried it in the ground. The master severely rebuked him for not putting it in the bank and getting at least some petty interest.
I think it is plain that voting for a third party candidate would be akin to burying my vote in the ground, because with McCain there is a small ray of hope that it could be returned with interest (very small ray of hope here in California with the O'man so far ahead). It makes better sense in more reasonable states, like in, say, Colorado.
We still have not decided how to vote. In fact, after yesterday's program we were ready to switch to the Constitution Party. So we will be standing by for more information from the mother ship.
Very good programs. Keep it up.

“ Don't Vote for the Lesser of Two Evils! ” When voting for the lesser of two evils, Christians are still voting for EVIL! We've been doing it for years and that is why we're in the mess we're in now!
Vote for godliness and let God work out the consequences. Don't pretend you have any control with your one vote among millions. Honor God with that vote and let him win the victory.
The horse is prepared for the day of battle, But victory belongs to the LORD.
