WWJD: How Would Jesus Vote??

Michael Spencer’s writes in his article, Voting Utopian?, at Razor Mouth on the difficulty of choosing between 2 evils and a good, or as he puts it:

What if the “Christian position” is so incompatible with political realities that voting for it deprives a vote from those whose policies might be significant improvements in society, even if they are not the Christian position? What if voting for the “Christian candidate” results in more, not less, abortions? More, not less, same sex marriages? More, not less, government intrusion and expansion? Is it better to vote for less slavery and less abortion, if no slavery and no abortion aren’t possible in a secular society?

This is the same argument that the liberals are using against Ralph Nader. That for a ‘green’ to vote for Nader is the same as a vote for Bush, and as a matter of fact it appears that the Republicans are doing their best to finance Nader because of this.

We, as Christians, are supposed to be as wise as serpents but as harmless as doves. We need to understand the mind of the snakes in society but not abuse people in our use of that knowledge. We should not want to be part of the ‘conservative establishment’ but we also are responsible for the laws that we end up living under. As the quoted above states, it was Luther who said he would rather be ruled by a good Turk than a bad Christian. As we reform the church, what is the best way to begin reforming culture?

What then is a Christian to do?
