I have been dealing with this very issue on my blog lately. I have been reading several books and other resources about Christians and their roles in relationship to the government.I would type a lot here, but have said many things that I think relate directly to your post on my own blog. So if you are interested then please check it out and I will come back here as well to see what is new. Blessings and Shalom Good stuff. I have been dealing with this very issue on my blog lately.

Not for the reasons you gave, but because I have become disillusioned with the whole process. My dad has always told me it was not just my duty, but a privilage as well, and so I find myself rather torn. I have been wrestling with weather to vote in this election.

There aren't just two political parties in the United States. In fact, there are a great deal of political parties, and most put up their own candidates for president. I'm certain there is at least one party that would fit your beliefs. By not voting, you are indirectly supporting the two major parties, since you aren't putting your votes towards a third party. The more people that vote against the Democrats and the Republicans, the more likely a third party will actually make a good showing. Unfortunately, all the people that would vote for third parties don't vote because they're under the false impression that there are only two parties worth voting for.
