I agree, as Christians we should vote for the person that shows those morals and ethics that we believe it. I don't think it has to one way or the other, just who we feel is the better candidate regardless of political party.
Since everyone else said a personal opinion I'll do that too, I'm leaning towards Romney, mostly because I am very against a lot of the policies that Obama has passed or is trying to pass, so anyone that will change that would be better for me. I'm against a lot of the stipulations of the Affordable health care act (since it doesn't make it more affordable for insurance companies or hospitals, it just makes them take more of a loss, it imposes a "tax" on those who don't buy insurance even though there are many who can't afford insurance, etc etc) and other policies, but that's another story completely.
Though I do believe that everyone should vote, even if it is just for the lessor evil, every non-voter is making no difference in America's leadership. Those are often the people I hear complain about how the country is being run, if you don't vote, you shouldn't complain about the outcome since you had to part in it.

Unfortunately, I cannot vote yet, but if I could, I'm not sure I would. I'm not happy with either of the candidates. I liked Ron Paul the best, but now that he's out of it, l really am not sure I could choose.
But, along with what Rae said, Washington was indeed on the right idea. Political parties do nothing but tear this country apart. Candidates should just get up there, without any labels, and tell us what their ideas are. Then we can decide for ourselves without having this idea of 'I can't vote for him because he's a Democrat, even though I like his ideas better.' Then we can stop fighting over Republicans vs Democrats, and just cooperate like Americans. Come political elections, I always feel as though a second Civil War is about to erupt.
Just my thoughts. I apologize for my little rant.

I personally think that if all Christians would rise up and take a bit more interest in politics and vote and get involved, we could see a move in the right direction...to a country that gets closer to God's ideals.
I do think God cares who you vote for, and if you don't vote even. To know to do good and do it not is sin, right? Apathy is a poor excuse I think...
Do you have to choose democrat or republican just because you are a christian? no. But you SHOULD choose the one that has ideals closer to a Godly nation rather than an ungodly one.
People like to vote because of jobs or taxes or health-care...sure those are important things, I can't say they aren't...but God doesn't say He hates taxes...he does say he hates abortion though, in many verses, calls those who do it cursed. I personally feel that while the other issues are important, none are more important than life. I couldn't support someone who was not pro-life, which most (not all) democrats are not. They also tend towards more liberalness with gay marriage and such, which I don't believe lines up with God's best for us. I don't vote strictly republican or democrat, I vote values.
