No, this *isn't* what Christianity really means.  This is what *politics*
really means.

>Fundamentalist Christians were reported to have voted for Ronald Reagan
>by a margin of about 77%. Is this what you voted for?

Voting for someone for president doen't not imply that one agrees
with everything the candidate says or does.  It means, that of the
limited choices available (usually two in the US) you believe that
your choice will do the best job overall.  In many elections it's
more like the lessor of two evils.

Any further discussion should move to net.politics.
