How Would God Vote?
According to David Kinghoffer, the Bible commands you to “vote conservative.” David Kinghoffer is the author of the book How Would God Vote? Why the Bible Commands You To Be a Conservative.”
Klinghoffer charges the “liberal-Left” with views that contradict the Bible.
Read a brief survey of the book here.

Hi Dr. Mariottini,
I wrote about the book on my blog. One can find it by searching under "David Klinghoffer." One thing I'll say here is that the book is not what it seems. I expected it to be your typical Moral Majority sort of book, which focuses on abortion and homosexuality, while stretching the Bible to support the conservative line on other issues. But it's not like that (though the health care chapter kind of leans in that direction). Klinghoffer's not afraid to think outside of the box.
James,
Thank you for this information. I will read your post today.
I was interested in the book. Although I have not read the book yet, I may do so during the Christmas break.
Thank you for alerting me to your post.

I think someone should write a book entitled "Would God Vote?" That would probably lay the groundwork for much of the assumptions in this topic.
Samuel,
This is good point. God would not vote in a political election but theologically God votes, since he elects people to participate in His kingdom.
Have you ever heard of divine election? Thus, in a sense, God votes but not politically. Politically, we make our own choices and then we have to live with the choices we make.
