If you take those who are pro-life and opposed the war in Iraq, the list includes Ron Paul and maybe a few others. <BR/><BR/>At the state level, you may have better luck finding someone who is legitimately pro-life, but it's not as if Maine is about to invade Iran--though if we're lucky, Vermont will secede. <BR/><BR/>Mostly, I'm frustrated that the best we can do is slow the tide of evil. The best option is simply to pray for our leaders. God deals in miracles, though I'd bet on a heavy hand of His justice a coming soon.A Wiser Man Than Ihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02405864709965908573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10835776.post-75593169712765166892008-03-17T13:52:00.000-04:002008-03-17T13:52:00.000-04:00Yeah, I know, I don't have a cool name.

Depending on where you live, there will be voting on US and state senators and representatives as well as state and local initiatives. Make sure you know what other issues you're ignoring before you write off voting altogether - there's certainly nothing wrong with turning in a blank presidential ballot while putting your two cents in elsewhere.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812834159048013758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10835776.post-72418187117139891262008-03-17T10:10:00.000-04:002008-03-17T10:10:00.000-04:00With hindsight, Hitler of course.Stalin was much m...With hindsight, Hitler of course.<BR/><BR/>Stalin was much more effective at democide.hoosiertoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10860188380201743436noreply@blogger.com
