Ron Paul could be the best president in the history of our country. Unfortunately, the Council on Foreign Relations has been effective in eliminating all candidates except their own. People vote for politicians who promise the most to the voters, but not for whom will be the best for our nation and our children. The voters won't wake up until the federal government goes bankrupt and the banksters of the private federal reserve bank own everything.

RON PAUL FOREVER!!!

He will still be in Washington -- haunting the neoCONs with his irrefutable adherence to the CONSTITUTION and the principles of individual LIBERTY.

Ron Paul FOREVER!!! Ron Paul FOREVER!!!

I HAVE TO SAY RON PAUL HAD ALL THE GOOD IDEAS, EVEN THOUGH I WASN'T FOR RON PAUL HE STOOD FOR A LOT OF WHAT AMERICANS FEEL THESE DAYS, AND I WISH HIM WELL. AND I WISH ALSO THAT JOHN EDWARDS HAD NOT DROPPED OUT AS SOON AS HE DID AS EDWARDS SPOKE FOR THE MIDDLECLASS AND POOR AND THINK HE WOULD REALLY HAVE STARTED DOING WELL IN THE PRIMARIES.

RON PAUL HAS NOT QUIT and is not going to quit. People need to quit listening to main stream media sources and just go to www.ronpaul2008.com and find the truth. and I would also recommend people learn how the election process really works and keep in mind that the Ron Paul Revolution WILL NOT BE TELEVISED because the media has been and will continue to have a media block out and you will not get the truth from people like this guy and if really want to know what is going to happen when any of these other candidates become president check out this website http://justanothercoverup.com/?p=356. DO Not Give Up On Ron Paul

America will be choosing presidential party nominees, let’s take a look at some biblical principles for voting. No, the Bible does not say which candidate to vote for, but it does tell us what kind of candidate we ought to choose. As usual, the Founders offered some insight into how we should exercise this important duty, too.

http://www.morallaw.org/


Voting is the solemn duty of every capable citizen, as our Founding Fathers plainly understood:

“Let each citizen remember at the moment he is offering his vote that he is not making a present or a compliment to please an individual—or at least that he ought not so to do; but that he is executing one of the most solemn trusts in human society for which he is accountable to God and his country.” Samuel Adams, Father of the American Revolution

Every citizen should vote, but at the same time voting should never be done for its own sake. We have a responsibility to “God and country” to vote according to the will of God, to elect righteous and moral leaders of integrity and character.

“Those who wish well to the State ought to choose to places of trust men of inward principle, justified by exemplary conversation. . . .[And the] people in general ought to have regard to the moral character of those whom they invest with authority either in the legislative, executive, or judicial branches.” Rev. John Witherspoon, Signer of the Declaration, “Founding Grandfather”

“Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation, to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.” John Jay, Diplomat & First Chief Justice of the Supreme Court

When it comes to selecting our leaders, the Bible gives us a simple test:

WWJD—What Would Jethro Do?

In Exodus 18:13-27, Moses’ father-in-law Jethro sees the tremendous burden that Moses bears alone in hearing disputes between Israelites “from morning till evening.” Jethro recommends the introduction of the first republican, representative government in Israel, as well as standards for who should serve in this new form of decentralized government.

Verse 21: “But select capable men from all the people—men who fear God, trustworthy men who hate dishonest gain—and appoint them as officials over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens.

Deuteronomy 1:13: Moses recaps: “Choose some wise, understanding and respected men from each of your tribes, and I will set them over you.”

So it’s as “simple” as selecting a candidate like this…

Capable: able to be a servant leader, not just physically, but as one with courage of conviction and moral strength.

Fears God; wise; understanding: they should not fear party leaders and interest groups, they should fear the Lord and His Word. Fear of the Lord is, after all, the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 1:17), so we want wise, God-fearing leaders who will both know what is right and do what is right even when only God sees them.

Trustworthy or “committed to truth” (KJV); respected: leaders who speak the truth, defend the truth, and know The Truth; those we can trust with their position of authority and with their positions of policy.

Hate dishonest gain: one who would not use his position for unjust wealth (bribes, etc.), power, or pleasure. And he must hate this trait in others, too.
Reading through this checklist would almost make us laugh (or cry) for how well it describes what most of our politicians so characteristically lack. Our WWJD test sets the bar awfully high, and would certainly preclude almost everyone we could think of that is, or wants to be, in politics. But the bar should be high! Nor should our leaders’ repeated failings make us lower our standards; but rather we should demand that they be met all the more.

And notice that the WWJD test focuses on the character, the integrity, the—dare I say it—”personal life” of the person running for office. After all, is it not the behavior of the person when they are in private, rather than the rehearsed presentation in public, that more readily reveals what kind of person they are? Lots of personal wealth, good looks, and a smooth tongue should not be the criteria we look to in choosing our leaders.

When you cast your vote in the primary and general elections, no matter the office or the year, remember to ask yourself What Would Jethro Do?

Of course, What Would Noah Webster Do? is also a good question to ask:

“When you become entitled to exercise the right of voting for public officers, let it be impressed on your mind that God commands you to choose for rulers, ‘just men who will rule in the fear of God.’ The preservation of government depends on the faithful discharge of this duty; if the citizens neglect their duty and place unprincipled men in office, the government will soon be corrupted; . . . and the rights of the citizens will be violated or disregarded. If a republican government fails to secure public prosperity and happiness, it must be because the citizens neglect the divine commands, and elect bad men to make and administer the laws.” Noah Webster, Father of American Education, 1823





"The States can best govern our home concerns and the general government our foreign ones. I wish, therefore ... never to see all offices transferred to Washington, where, further withdrawn from the eyes of the people, they may more secretly be bought and sold at market" Thomas Jefferson
