Dear John,                                  Monday eve
   Concerning Paul's post on the "lesser of two evils." We live in a less than perfect world. One thing I have found out in my 65 years is that no human system is without fault, even a third party candidacy.
   I was on a city council for eight years and ran for a state wide office against a two term encumbent and got the most votes of anyone running against an encumbent at the state level, and still lost.
   One thing I learned is how lonely you can feel in politics when you identify with Jesus Christ. I also found out how fickle the Christian community is where politics are concerned.
   Most Christians have never run for political office and would be shocked if they did at how naive many Christians are and easily deceived by lying facts put out by candidates with money to burn. About half of those who call themselves Christian never even vote, not considering it a spiritual act. I found many Christians naive to the extreme and grossly lacking in the area of discernment.
   To think that a third party candidate is not capable of being influenced by Satan as are the two major parties shows a lack of knowledge of the secular world we live in. To think that God can't effect his will through either of the two major parties is to make God smaller than he is. He is a great God. Bush is clearly the better of the two men capable of winning the Presidency. He is not afraid to identify him self with Jesus Christ. That is why so many hate him and say evil things about him. I would expect that the office of the president is the loneliest post in the world.
    Praise God for George Bush.
    Sincerely,
    Dave Winecoff
