he would not vote. He cared for the poor, told the rich to give up their money and follow him (or was it give to the poor?). He also provided free health care for everyone, did not care about whether they were rich or middle class, accepted travelers (immingrants), and told "peace I give to you," which is basically no war. Think about it, would Jesus want war or killing of any kind?
1) Are we using the terms "Democratic" and "Republican" in their true sense, or are we using the terms they have developed into in the U.S.? 2) You start a lot of threads.
I mean that in the U.S., for example, Republicans are generally corrupt, war-mongering white men that envision big, unregulated business. If this is the concept we're following, then obviously Jesus would not vote Republican. Actually, the more I think about it, the more I think that somebody of Jesus' nature would simply abstain from voting.
When I think of this prospect, I am reminded of Christ and the money changers. He stirred things up a bit and upset some entrenched political interests.

regardless of what we want to see happen, I think its pretty safe to say we could call the nominees right now and feel about 90% sure thats who it'll be come november. as for me, I've already decided Im organizing a massive national write in Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! haha
I wonder what would happed if Jesus, disguised as a candidate with some random name, ran for president? I bet the CCRs would be picking at him left and right!
especially with his past! he's been stoned... he has a controversial relationship with a prostitute, he's spent several years in hiding.. not to mention all those all-male dinner parties he throws.. he's got a big closet, thats all i can say. (sry my knowledge of the bible is poor at best, but i'm sure the headlines would be great!)
He was charged as a terrioust by the romans He comited criminal damage against the money lenders He droped the value of bread, fish and wine (by creating them out of thin air) He was a dangurs subversisve to the isrilites ect
Firstly, vote for what??? Specify. (Myopicy is a terrible American affliction...) Secondly, Jesus wouldn't be eligible to vote. Thirdly, Jesus wouldn't vote: he was a rebel.
