The other guy is not "evil"

I realize with the rising tensions in our political environment, especially considering the fact that we are nearing election day, that those that endorse a candidate are certainly passionate about their positions. I think I can understand the passions about supporting a canidate that best represnts a person's idealogy and politics. However, I wonder if it is neccessary to attempt to justify one's endorsement by convincing ourselves that the other canidate is evil. I have found that there are some out there that have given their endorsement to their canidate. Because of their endorsement, it seems they go on a campaign to convince others or maybe even themselves that the other canidate is a horrible human being. My challenge to all my friends is to not give way to this "either/or" philosophy. I understand supporting a party or canidate, but in doing so, lets not convince ourselves that the other party or canidate is evil. Instead, I believe it is okay to fully suport the canidate in which you want to represent your positions while at the same time not reducing the other canidate as an enemy. Those of us that follow Christ, this becomes even more important to realize. We are called to not dehumanize others, but to serve in love and in submission. Let us reflect the way of Jesus in our political dialogue.
