Response to - Would Jesus Vote Liberal or Conservative

Am writing this in response to a friend who asked what Jesus' political/social views would be --

Jesus would prove as hard to pin down to Republicans and Democrats as he did to Sadducees and Pharisees . The point is that artificial structures such as political parties or even religious groups (Karl Barth: all religion is disbelief) move us away from direct communion and mission through a maze of infrastructure. That said, Jesus had tremendous compassion for the poor, afflicted, and marginalized (like liberals today) but also asked for accountability such as "go and sin no more" (more like today's conservatives). There are correct aspects to both "sides". We must vote -- not to try is folly - and have to choose the candidate closest to the mark - kind of like horseshoes.
