Well it’s the first of the month so it’s time to really look at answering the question of Who Would Jesus Vote For. This is our chance to look back over the events of the past month and weigh in on who we think Jesus would back. Since Jesus preached love and forgiveness we will only look at the events from October, all past transgressions are forgiven if not forgotten.

The Big Winner!
Chris Dodd!
For his unrelenting stand against retroactive immunity for big telecommunications companies Dodd has exhibited the leadership and moral judgment necessary for a presidential candidate. After 8 years of the Bush regime the country needs a president who can get the country back on its feet and this month Chris Dodd has repeatedly shown that he is up to the job.

Honorable Mention
Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, Barack Obama, and Dennis Kucinich. In that order. Really they are all excellent candidates with strong policies and outstanding track records of promoting progressive causes. I had a hard time not pushing Hillary to the top but her habit of testing the waters before jumping on an issue cost her this month. I do like her policies though and will continue to push for her to become our nation’s first woman president.

The Big Loser!
Rudy Giuliani!
In a surprisingly strong race for worst candidate on the Republican side Rudy Giuliani has pulled ahead. This month Rudy set out to prove that there isn’t a close minded group too bigoted to avoid his pandering. First going after the anti-gay crowd (despite Rudy’s long history of supporting gay rights) then setting his sight on the anti-immigrant racists (despite his history as mayor of a “sanctuary city”). Rudy has raised pandering and bullshit to a level that makes even Mitt Romney wonder about his character.

Add to all that flip flopping and pandering to hate groups Rudy’s association with Bernie Kerik and a defrocked priest accused of molesting children, plus his theory that water boarding (which was used by the Spanish inquisition and was a crime in WWII) may or may not be torture depending on how it’s done and you get a picture of a real slime ball. What is really sad is that his campaign’s complete disregard for telling the truth, even after being corrected, doesn’t even make him stand out from the Republican candidates.

Runner Up:
Mike Huckabee for equating abortion with the holocaust and all around craziness. While he may be gaining among ultra conservatives his gung ho approach to creating a true theocracy in America creeps out the non-fundamentalists.
