Jesus Would Support Ron Paul
First of all, Jesus would not "punch" anyone. ("Turn the other cheek".)
That having been said, if Jesus "had" to choose a Republican there is no doubt he would choose Ron Paul for several key reasons:
1.) Ron Paul is against our illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq and our military intervention in Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan. (Let's be honest here, we already have "someone" in Pakistan and Iran either snooping, or up to some other miltaristic interference) ("Thou shalt not kill".)
2.) Ron Paul is against the death penalty and always has been. All the other candidates, including the Democratic "front runners" support the death penalty. ("Thou shalt not kill".)
3.) Ron Paul is against abortion and is solidly pro-life, although politically he does support each states' right to decide this issue for themselves as he also supports states' rights to decide about other controversial issues such as the use of medical marijuana etc. (Thou shalt not kill.")
4.) Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate who strongly supports the Constitution and our civil liberties. I think freedom was probably an important thing to Jesus. ("The most important commandment of all, more important than all the others is, LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS I HAVE LOVED YOU.")
Thompson is gone, Giuliani, Huckabee and even McCain are practically BROKE. Romney is only running on his own and big corporate money, plus as the article states he is the most disliked Republican candidate. There is little to no "grassroots" support for him. Which leaves one Republican. Ron Paul. He is raising money online with small donations from all over the country. He has support from Republicans, Democrats and Independents. He is the ONLY candidate who understands how the economy got into the mess it is currently in and eventually anyone with a brain will understand that he is the ONLY candidate who understands how to get us out of the recession we are now in and the depression that is facing us.
So, there's my little prognostication on "What Would Jesus Do?" and where the Republican nomination is heading.
