I don't know if Jesus would vote for Alan Keyes, but apparently he knows who Jesus wouldn't vote for. When Keyes was brought in by the Republicans to run against Barack Obama for the Senate seat from Illinois, one of the things he said was that Jesus wouldn't vote for Obama. It was that comment among other attacks on his faith that finally gave Obama the incentive to start talking publicly about his faith.
I don't want politics to sully religion, and I'm convinced the best place for the prophetic voice is outside of the power structure, but if politicians are going to cite their religious beliefs it is my hope that they will use them to unite and provide hope, not to divide and attack. I'm sure that Mr. Keyes brings a lot to this already crowded field, I simply hope that it is positive and uplifting.

WOULD JESUS VOTE FOR HIM?

Interesting that Tom is happy about a devout Roman Catholic entering the race. One who follows the Papal edicts to the letter. Aren't Catholics all heretics? Why would you support a heretic for president. Dr. Keyes is a brilliant man. However, he's gone too far in attacking his opponents. His candidacy indicates a general feeling on the right that there is chaos and disunity among the rank and file. I thought Fred Thompson was the guy to fill that void, but apparently not.
