 It is very frustrating seeing so many Christians treating various politicians as saviors.

Most Christians seem to error towards one extreme or another.  They think a politician is going to save them and put all of their effort into politics or they think politics is below them and refuse to vote at all.  I think both are errors.  Neither politics nor politicians will completely fix things, but if Christians don't stand up for right by voting for the best candidate (even if that person is a poor candidate), they are allowing evil to happen in the same way that Christians in Germany allowed the holocaust to happen.  They either err towards idolatry or permissiveness or complacency.
