Other believers against Bush have said:
How would Jesus vote?
I can’t tell you how refreshing it is to see this site. I am so tired of the Bush campaign misleading potential voters with its holier than thou routine. One good example is the church down the street from us that has their ‘How would Jesus vote?’ sign out...

God bless you! In my community, two women from two different churches approached me wanting to place four-foot-by-eight-foot Kerry-Edwards signs in their yards.
Both of these women had been highly incensed and offended. One woman’s pastorhad told the congregation, “You are not a Christian if you don’t vote for George Bush.” The other women had been given a “Christian Voter Guide” comparing Bush to Kerry. The guide was authored by a group called Citizen Leader Coalition out of Washington, D.C. It was full of blatant lies about Kerry, pegging him as being pro-abortion, pro gay marriage, anti Mel Gibson’s Passion of the Christ, pro homosexual leaders in the boy scouts, and the most liberal senator in the Senate. I wrote a letter to the editor about that one, as well as writing to the Citizen Leader Coalition and giving them a piece of my mind!

Bush ignores his own church over Iraq war
The MAJORITY of the American people were against the rush to war in Iraq. (This majority includes the United Methodist Church—Bush and Cheney’s church (mine and John Edwards’ church, too). The Bush Administration ignored all letters from the UMC Council of Bishops, appealing to him (Bush) not to make a pre-emptive strike and telling him that war is not in line with the teachings of Jesus Christ... Jesus said, “Blessed are the peacemakers...”
Far too many lives— and not just American lives— have been lost and continue to be lost in Iraq. We are in a quagmire of conflict that has divided the American people and alienated the world. The Bush administration is directly responsible for this sorry “State of the Union.” Furthermore, I’m sick and tired of being accused of being a bad Christian, because I do not buy into the neo-conservatives’ hateful, judgmental, narrowly focused view of the issues and the world. Bush and the religious-right are wrong.
