2008 Presidential Fiasco

It amazes me that with the millions of people in the United States, we have to settle for the lesser of two evils when selecting a president.
I am a schoolteacher. It really comes as no surprise that when students are asked what they want to be when they grow up, that they no longer want to be president. When I was a kid, president was still the number one answer.
If a child is taught integrity, right from wrong, love thy neighbor, and other good Christian morals; why would they then want to become something that throws all of those lessons out the window. I mean, Bill Clinton's approval rating went up when he was caught having an affair. It could just be that the polling was done at the corner tavern, but unfortunately I don't think that is the case.
We do have a problem however. I believe that if the election were held today, we would end up with another President Clinton. The Christian Right will select another candidate, rather than following strict Republican Party lines, because Giuliani is Pro Choice. This will split the Republican vote and Hillary will win by a minority vote, almost by default.
What is almost worse than Mrs. Clinton or Mr. Giuliani? That would be Mr. Romney. Many Evangelical Christians are excited about Romney and his morals. I would rather have a blatant non-Christian as president than a Christian poser. Romney and the Mormons claim to be Christians. Think of the deceit that could be displayed for our great country. A man claiming to be a Christian, but selling in the wrapper of falsehood that is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
Well, there is still time. The primary is several months away and the general election is over a year away.
Pray hard people!
