Preamble
We, the members of the Constitution Party, gratefully acknowledge the blessing of the Lord God as Creator, Preserver and Ruler of the Universe and of this Nation.
We solemnly declare that the foundation of our political position and moving principle of our political activity is our full submission and unshakable faith in our Savior and Redeemer, our Lord Jesus Christ.
We hereby appeal to Him for mercy, aid, comfort, guidance and the protection of His Divine Providence as we work to restore and preserve this Nation as a government of the People, by the People, and for the People.
The U.S. Constitution established a Republic under God, rather than a democracy.

I'm an athesist, but I respect Christianity, because it has such a beautiful message. But lately, it seems to me that politicians who profess to be Christian, act very un-Christian-like in my eyes. Would Jesus support the death penalty? For example. I hear so many people say that we are a Christian nation, but what kind of policies would Jesus support? How would he direct and lead our country? Could he even get elected? I think people use Jesus to their advantage, while not living his ideals. So, I was wondering if Americans would trust Jesus enough to be President. I chose the MudPit because I was thinking of purely the belief as it applies to politics, rather than actual theologian debate. Maybe it is the wrong forum, but I the gist is, since so many politicains run on a 'Christian" platform, and so many people vote their religion, what if Jesus actually ran? Would Christians vote for Jesus if he dictated how taxes, welfare, illegal immigration, the use of our military, etc. were run? I personally think that American would not elect a Jewish Presisent, Vice President maybe.
I really didn't notice a Jesus vibe coming from me lately. It may be because the gay marriage issue has been in the spotlight lately, and I always think, WWJD? Since so many Christians site the Bible as a reason to deny civil rights.

How would know its actualy Jesus ?
Let's assume we know it's Him. Would His economic, domestic, and foreign policy win voters?
