I had another big, long post written out and I've decided to nix it. I mean, at what point should I stop examining the hearts of people and let happen what is going to happen? Don't get me wrong - I am trying not to judge people. It's difficult though. My basic point in my whole thought process is this: How can a Christian vote for someone who is pro-abortion? I have always wondered it. But this election, we finally have a candidate for senate (Joe Miller) who is clearly the most conservative out of all three.
We have asked for people to step up and run for office and then when they do, (if they are conservative) they are picked apart. If they don't use the right credit cards, we'll hear about it on the 5, 6, and 10 o'clock news -- top story. Joe Miller has definitely not run the smoothest of campaigns and I'm sure he made some mistakes in his life he's not proud of. Haven't we all? Even little ol me has some skeletons I'd rather not tell the world. My opinion on Joe Miller is that the millions of dollars that have been spent to uncover his entire past amount to NOTHING!
I've seen Lisa Murkowski in action ever since she was in local government. I even thought then that she was too liberal to be a Republican. She is more of the same in Washington - wants to just print more money and then spend it. Borrow and spend...borrow and spend. She is listed on a pro-abortion website as being one of their top three pro-abortion republican woman senators they want to see re-elected. (http://www.thewishlist.org/LMurkowski.htm) That should tell a Christian person something. You might say I have no right to judge. I am merely questioning. I truly do not understand it.
-------------
- Lisa voted to rescind the law which prevented US tax dollars from paying for abortions around the world (See S.Amdt 65 to H.R. 2, January 28, 2009)
- Lisa voted to affirm “Roe v. Wade” was a Constitutional right that applied to all citizens, including Alaskans (See S.Amdt. 260 to S. 3, March 12, 2003)
- Lisa voted multiple times to support taxpayer-funded abortions (and embryonic stem cell research) in the US (See S.Amdt. 3330 to S.Amdt. 3325 to H.R. 3043, October 18, 2007 S.Admst. 2708 to H.R. 2764, September 6, 2007 and Senate Bill 5, April 11, 2007)

She is pro-amnesty/open borders, pro-cap and trade (cap and tax), she is part of the "global warming is man-made" cult, and I could go on.
Some say it's her seniority that they're voting for. Whatever. We don't even know if she'll retain it - that's still in question. And with the unions and other democrats supporting her, do you really think she'll stay as a Republican and, if she does, do you think she'll actually vote the way you would want her to?
I know I won't change the minds of people who have already made the decision, but I would ask those of you who are still on the fence to use your vote wisely. You can even leave it blank. Just please consider the unborn and the candidates who will do their best to save them.
NOTE: I moderate comments before they are published. Thank you for your thoughts. I appreciate all of them.
