All of them, if you like.

And I'm referring to the guy from Bethlehem.

Somehow I think if he were around, and not restoring the Kingdom, he'd be too busy improving the lives of common people to give a damn.

That and I'd doubt he'd endorse any candidate because each is flawed.

Well, we're all flawed. Let's say Jesus was an ordinary person. Based on his views, who would he vote for?

That's my point, it wouldn't matter if he actually was the son of God incarnate...he'd still not want to endorse any candidate's flaws.

Oh boy, this is basically the ultimate "let's see who's a hack" thread.  You can't brag any bigger about your candidate than "God's on his side".
Actually, I always vote for Democratic candidates, whereas Jesus would have always voted for Socialist candidates.
Jesus wouldn't have voted, because that would be an endorsement of a far from perfect political system and government.

He endorsed the Roman Empire, which is much further from perfect.


I thought he merely said to pay rome's taxes, a legal requirement.  Not to choose, without reprocussion, to endorse their actions.
