God Wants You To Vote Republican

Because one day you’ll be standing before Jeebus and have to account for your actions when he asks, “Why did you vote for a leader who’s attempting to redefine my institution of marriage?” And if your answer is “because that leader was good on jobs and the economy,” you are TOTALLY getting your ass sent to hell.
