How do you act a Third Way in a Two Way world

In Byron Borger's list of reccomended books in preparation for the November election he includes this preface:

I will describe some titles that will help Christian reflection on our civic duties, a biblically-shaped vision for government and some handles on thinking about political issues in our post-Christian and pluralistic times. For those who are already ducking for cover, these are not titles about “taking back our Christian country” or those of an arrogant or triumphalistic approach which swerves toward an imposed theocracy. As always in these pages, I offer books which we trust will help thoughtful and engaged people of faith walk a third way, seeing a Godly and biblical alternative to the extreme poles and ideologies of our cultural landscape. In the realm of politics, I'd say, we want to offer books which tend to both reject the liberal social gospel and the conservative religious right. Neither do we want to yield to the hegemony of the secularized “naked public square” nor revert to some insistence that this is a Christian country (an assertion which is, in any case, historically inaccurate and doctrinally unfaithful). We really don't care as much about partisan labels as exploring how a biblical worldview would shape our social concerns and our sense of the principles involved, and then the possible policies that emerge from those principles.

I very much agree with his position here. I do look for that third way. But what is tragic is that the reflection on policies emerging from the principles consistent with my christian perspectives lie so broadly across the limited spectrum of political party positions. I have had to prioritize the different policy positions and in that way start making decisions about political action supporting separate parties. In addition, I have to look at how successfully the two parties have implemented policies that I find essential to a biblical worldview. My feeling is that Ronald Reagan paid lip service to life politics in order to gain a following, and then was either unwilling or unable to move the decision forward. The same can certainly be said for Democratic inability to really make changes in policies of world justice (Clinton does still have Ruwanda on his head). So you won't see "Blog for Bush" or "Kerry Edwards" on this blog. At least not yet.
