I don't think we have been presented with two exceptional candidates, so I voted for the candidate that I believe understands what it means to sacrifice for this country. I have been thinking lately about two of the thoughts you mentioned. 1) Your assertion on the health care system is spot on. No one else seems to believe me, though. Protecting our caregivers and helping those in the most need is the greatest thing we can do, not let the government get more involved in its control. 2) Socialism has good intentions, but in the wrong hands (i.e. most humans), it rips a people apart. I believe Christ encourages us to take care of those in need, but humans generally can't be trusted and the system will be abused to the point that is won't really work. So instead of encouraging socialism, I believe we (Christians) should take it upon ourselves to maintain that Christ-like attitude no matter how we are governed. Nice post. I would be interested in hearing the reasons for how you decide to vote. I normally don’t get in to too many political discussions, except for when I think people are on the right track.
