LS6, Your question seems to suggest an incompatability in being a Christian and voting for Kerry. Am I mis-interpreting your statement?

For me, the choice is made on which candidates' positions, across a range of issues, best reflect my Christian beliefs. Don't think I've ever cast a vote based on a single issue.

What are candidates policies/position statements regarding children's issues? war/peace? family insitutional issues? homelessness? poverty alleviation efforts? elderly issues? single parent and family issues?

Secondly, does their rhetoric match their record? At this point in the process, R and D candidates will tell you anything; but everybody has a record and no 30-second commercial or cheorographed media blitz campaign can hide what that record is.

peace.

Thanks for your input TonyB06...
And yes the question I am posing is how one could vote for a candidate who stands for issues deemed "un-Christian" ... but I see your point that you don't vote on a single issue..

And you're also right about the media...I hope people don't form their opinions about a candidate based on negative ad-campaigning...its always spun to someone's advantage...
