I'm not saying this in the sense that one should vote for Jesus Christ at the polls, although the thought does linger with me to vote Jesus Christ as a write-in.     The US is facing trouble, but the current crop of presidential candidates are not going to solve our problems. Every man is imperfect.   I have, however noticed one presidential candidate who seems sincere about returning to our lost values as a country and picking up the traditions that have been stomped on in past years. That person is Alan Keyes.   I have noticed Alan Keyes's position on the issues and his fevered attitude of revering our Christian heritage. He's a strong conservative, but one question lingers with me... if he is elected as president, will he stand strong on his Christian convictions through his entire term(s) in office?    In the past, I mentioned Congressman Tom Tancredo as a viable candidate for President...a man who has tried to bring to attention the many problems our nation faces regarding wanton illegal immigration. He was also solid on many conservative issues. However, he is not in the running for the White House anymore and as Tancredo emerged as a candidate, he started to exhibit some fatal flaws. On House Resolution 635 which honored Ramadan, he didn't stand fully opposed as I hoped he would.  Instead he straddled the fence voting "present" and chose to comment on the out of control political correctness.  And when Mr. Tancredo dropped out of the race for president, he threw his support behind a presidential candidate who has had a history of flip- flopping on conservative issues.   Like I said, I have realized that no man will be a perfect candidate.   But we as a nation have forgotten from whom we get our prosperity. We have forgotten that our strength comes from the Lord Jesus Christ, and it's by His hand that we have not fallen to our knees.   As a majority of us in America are Christians, I would implore Christians everywhere to vote for Jesus. Vote for Jesus to guide you...in your heart. Allow Him to direct you as to what candidate you should support.   It seems that conservatives are all over the map as to whom they will support.  And many are throwing their support around shaky top tier candidates who are not strong on conservative issues. That is worrisome.  Why would conservatives back a candidate because he seems popular in the Republican Party? It makes no sense.  True conservatives have been ignored. It's time we start noticing them.   Trust the Lord your God with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. --Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV)    Again, we should be looking to Jesus Christ to lead us in every aspect of our lives. He knows what's best for us. So, shouldn't we seek His direction on whom we should cast our ballots for in the presidential race? Whoever we vote for will have a significant chance to lead our nation, and this person will have an effect on the way we live. I hope people realize this.   Staying at home in protest is not the answer. However disgruntled or confused some voters are at the crop of candidates they have to choose from, opting not to vote is not going to help.  Having the right to vote is a huge opportunity to have your say.   Confused about the candidates? Let the Lord Jesus Christ guide you. Ask Him in prayer. Connect more with the Lord God.  He will hear you.   In order for our nation to regain its former strength, we need Jesus. Put Him first, He will take care of the rest.     *Learn where each presidential candidate stands on the issues
