Very well said, Jim.  There is definitely a difference in the two parties from a Biblical viewpoint (abortion, same sex marriage, etc.).  I haven't heard any Republicans request the United Nations get involved in our election results, either.  I have seen very good results in elections when Christians get involved, especially at the local level.  We do make a difference.  One vote counts.  One person going door to door handing out information counts.  We will not stop the darkness.  The Word tells us that.  However, we can add salt and light while it is still possible.
 
I have always told my children you can tell what others will be like by their "fruit" and by the friends they keep around them.  President George Bush calls among his good friends and advisors people of the faith that I trust very much.  No man is perfect but people like Billy Graham, James Robison, Michael W. Smith, etc. have proven to be of good repute.  Many on his staff are Christians.
 
Regarding a missile hitting the Pentagon, I remember a list of people who were killed on that airliner.  Some were very well known in Washington, including the wife of our Adjunct General for the United States (she was a famous political writer).  There is no way these people are just in hiding.  There is a lot of disinformation going on, especially on the internet.  We need to be wise.  I can't remember exacty but I think it was that plane that had a group of school children on it who had won a trip.  You couldn't keep them in hiding, either.
 
This isn't Heaven, yet.  Edith Schaeffer had a great quote in many of her books.  "If you expect perfection or nothing, you will always end up with nothing."
