Who Would Jesus Vote For?

I recently heard this question posed in reference to a Sunday School discussion.  In considering the ramifications I was struck by 2 thoughts;

First, I was reminded of the story from the Civil War period of generals who encircled the President Abraham Lincoln and declared "The Lord is on our side".  President Lincoln is said to have answered "I'm less concerned about the Lord being on our side as I am about being on the Lord's side." President Lincoln had learned the benefit of measured decision making based upon the recognition of Who God is, what He says in His Word and how we as His followers should think and act in matters of State.

Second, there's Proverbs 25:4-5 to contend with;  "Remove impurities from the silver and the silversmith can craft a fine chalice; Remove the wicked from leadership and authority will be credible and God-honoring." (The Message)  

With a President to elect, along with 435 Congressmen and about 30 Senators, if we followed this scriptural mandate we could hope for significant strides toward "credible, God honoring" government.  Of course this assumes we're following other scriptural directions about government as well such as:
Exodus 22:28 (NLT) "You must not dishonor God or curse any of your rulers."
1 Timothy 2:1-3 (NLT) "I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them.  Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity.  

I don't know who Jesus would vote for but I have no doubt that His vote would be God honoring, that He would bathe the leaders in prayer and that He would not be swayed by the fear mongering and negative advertising to which we are doomed for the next several months.
