Voting Your Values

I was going to write a post today, using the sermon from today at church as a kind of jumping off point. Thought I'd discuss what I agreed with and what I didn't and how based on my beliefs from the teachings of Christ and the New Testament that I don't feel like I have any choice but to vote for Obama. Or maybe talk about how voting morality over all other concerns entails more than just the Christian litmus test of homosexuality and abortion, and how the Republican Party has callously used these two faith issues to divide and manipulate Christians. But I'm not, I'm tired and weary of politics. Would it change anyone's mind, will anyone even read this? We've all chosen which parties propaganda we believe and can probably spit scriptures back and forth justifying our positions, so let's not. Vote however you want, let's just get this over with.

I read your post... and I also voted for two Green Party candidates yesterday. I was so proud!
