John Andrews’ strange, clueless ‘Coloradan of the Year’ column
Thankyou Cara. Can you be sure that Dr. Dobson has read this. Let's here it for our Full Cup, Mike Huckabee!!!
Christians should vote their conscience
I am a Christian. I am a conservative. I believe in the democratic process and believe it is the moral imperative that devout Christians involve themselves in the political process to make our society more fair and just for all.
Like most Christian conservatives, I gather information from Christian commentators in the media to help me cast my vote. As a responsible Christian, I am required to put all their words into passionate scrutiny to prevent the perversion of our faith.
My passion for seeing Christian values advanced in the political realm is matched only by my disappointment in those who represent those values but then sell them out for status or, even worse, money.
It has become obvious that Tony Perkins, Gary Bauer, Richard Land and James Dobson have sold their influence over Christian voters to the highest bidder. They are trying to destroy every Republican candidate except multimillionaire Mitt Romney, with the hope that he somehow will become our only choice. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Mr. Romney was pro-abortion, pro-gun control and pro-gay civil union as governor of Taxachusetts.
American Christian voters will show these Christian leaders that we are sophisticated enough to recognize when a Christian leader has sold his influence.
We will not turn the presidential race into a plutocracy that makes it about how rich a candidate is instead of about the character and principles the candidate will bring to the presidency.

DEAR EDITOR:
I am a Christian. I am a conservative. I believe the Christian experience of faith cannot be set alongside other aspects of life: it pervades the other aspects. Therefore, politics is simply one more sector of existence in which a Christian's faith is to be lived out.
I was deeply disturbed by some leading politicians at the Georgia GOP convention who claim to put Christ first, yet tried to convince me that Mitt Romney, a Mormon, should be my choice for president. Christians don't recognize Joseph Smith as a prophet, nor do we believe we attain godhood while populating a planet with spirit children. As a brother in Christ, I would like to remind these leaders that everything we do in life should be guided by eternal goals, not earthly goals.
Georgia Christian voters will show these "Judas" Christian politicians that we are sophisticated enough not to turn the presidential race into a plutocracy that makes it about how much money a candidate has raised, instead of about the character and innovative leadership that the candidate will bring to the presidency.
