Voting moral choices

In about two months, voters in America have an important set of choices as to how the nation should be led. Governors, state legislatures, House and US Senate races are very important even if many citizens laze around with Survivor, Fear Factor and of course, Monday Night Football. If one has a moral foundation from which one makes decisions, voters can vote for the party or candidates who most make decisions as the voter him or herself can make. So, let us compare agendas. If one is in the Judeo-Christian worldview as a voter, without naming the party or candidates, here are platforms from which to choose. One party is known for national security, one is known for diplomacy, the UN et al.. One party is pro-life, one party is known for a pro-abortion agenda. One party is for gay marriage, one party is not for that as a priority. One party is for capital punishment and gun rights, one party is against most gun rights and dead set against the death penalty. One party is unafraid of proclaiming religious rights, morality, the 10 Commandments and one party is more concerned with separation of church and state and no religious emphasis in our society. One party is for home schooling, charter schools, private religious education and one party is for government schools, the NEA union and no religious study in the schools at all. One party is anti-war, pacifistic and socialististic, one party is for the war against Islamofascism not only in Iraq but all round the world and is for pro-capitalist democracies. One party wants a strong military to protect the national security and one party is not sure a strong military gives the world the right view of America. One party is for, more or less, lower tax rates and tax cuts while one party more or less is for more tax funded government programs and no tax cuts except for the poorest of the poor. Generally speaking, these are fair accounts of what each party stands for. If you are generally in the Judeo-Christian Worldview as a voter, how will you vote in November??
