oh, sweet darling, you've got the best of my love

so, I attended the Huckabee rally today. I shook his hand, got my hand signed (I didn't have anything else for him to sign), and I came home still uncertain who I'm voting for tomorrow. The deal is, Ron Paul may be viewed as a wierdo by many people, but I agree with him on "life" and the war. As far as I'm concerned, he is the person staunchly pro-life people should be voting for -- he's delivered more than 4,000 babies. Regarding the war, I'm becoming more and more anti-war, as far as Iraq goes. Iraq is not going to embrace democracy very soon, if at all; we don't seem to be there anymore for the reasons we came for....we support the Saudis because of oil, and the Saudis harbor terrorists (and probably fund them). It just seems like the whole war is contradictory to the purposes we claimed when we went in there.....and I still don't think Iraqis will be democratic. We can't be the world's police, or the UN's pet. Is staying in Iraq really going to balance the power in the Middle East?

So my dilemna is....I like Ron Paul, but does he really have a chance to get the nomination? probably not. Do I vote for the underdog, knowing he won't win in the long run, or do I compromise and vote for the close second? egad.

I really hope and pray that I hear from the Lord tonight in a vivid "vote for such and such" dream. It would have to be an ESPECIALLY vivid and repeated dream if He said to vote for Hilary or Obama....

Pray for me. Pray that you vote for the man (or woman) God wants. It is nice to know that He has the whole situation in His hands. He raises up our leaders, so if I make a mistake and vote for the wrong person, that is not going to change His plan, right?

fiddlesticks : )
