Vote your conscience or vote electability?

From listening to the radio and from numerous conversations lately, there is no doubt that many Americans are in desperation for a new President. I am obviously in that same camp...any one but Obama! That being said, how do people choose who to vote for in this primary period? What it seems to come down to is this...people vote their conscience-or for who they line up with the most on moral issues, etc OR people are voting on the "electabillity" of a candidate-or for who they think has the best chance of being elected in the Presidential election.
Hands down, I am not saying there is a wrong or right way...but it is important that people (ESPECIALLY CHRISTIANS) vote. This election will truly be the biggest election of my life time thus far. This current Administration is helping our country spiral out of control...they have truly picked a fight with Christians and religion (they are intentionally making decisions that go against our freedom OF religion and our religious rights.
This election is crucial...and I truly mean it when I say, ANY of these candidates would be better than Obama. But, I do think there are various things to be considered with each candidate...after all, there are no perfect candidates because Jesus is not a candidate. There will be a flawed human being in office...so who will it be:

Santorum---He is who my vote will be for when the primary election comes to Tennessee. Why you might ask...because I hands down know where he stands on big issues. Santorum is 100% for family...he is for traditional marriage, he understands how the break down of traditional households have lead to our country's welfare state and more, he values life (and has written and promoted some of the most important anti-abortion legislation). These principles are Biblical...traditional marriage, the value of life from the womb, the consequences of broken families and consequences of sin...
He also knows Congress...has been there and knows what it would take to work with others. AND, there is no doubt in my mind he would appoint conservatives to the Supreme Court as President.

Paul---I will say this...his supporters are fanatics. There are a lot of good things about Ron Paul, but he is too extreme for me. I love the idea of getting government out of our everyday lives...but when that goes too far and things like illegal drugs and prostitution would not be enforced under his authority...I can't go for that. His other down fall in my opinion...his foreign policy. We have to respect the threat of the Middle East and stand firm.

Newt--- I truly believe this man is the smartest on the stage...but smart doesn't mean the best candidate. His knowledge is unbelievable...and he would EAT OBAMA ALIVE in a debate. I would literally pay to watch it. But my concerns...he was for the CAP & TAX bill that Congress voted down last year. It was a bad idea and was luckily voted down. He has made commercial appearances with Nancy Pelosi...horrible mistake. And the obvious, his adulterous past...this is a legit issue. (and to tell you the truth, I think this is what made Bill Clinton sorry...I will not give Newt a pass on this just because he is Republican...and if he can do that to his most sacred vows...can you trust him with running our country?)

Romney--- He is the most 'middle of the road' candidate we have...and I am far right of the middle. I get his "electability" factor because a lot of middle of the road voters would be willing to vote for him. BUT, Obamacare was modled after Romnicare in Massachusetts...Massachusetts was the first state to pass homosexual marriage...he has flip flopped on a lot of issues (like John Kerry did years ago). I don't trust this man much at all...but, from a business standpoint...he knows business and has a great track record...which our economy needs for sure.

THE MORAL OF THE STORY....VOTE...VOTE...VOTE...but, please know what you are voting for. Do not simply take a candidates' word for it (that goes for Republicans and Democrats)...but look at their policies, their voting record, what they have done in the past...that is the truest proof we have to base our vote off of.
