I don't like the quote, even in context. He may be speaking of government, practical policy, and it's within his right to have opinions about that. But he's explicitly making a Christian argument in the process, which I don't agree is justifiable. A homeless man giving a starving child a loaf of bread is giving as worthy a gift as a wealthy donor, even if it doesn't necessarily have great societal impact. I don't know if he means this, but he seems to be suggesting that the wealthy are better people, better Christians, than the poor - and that I definitely have a problem with.
I also don't agree that a candidate's personal life has no impact on whether or not we should vote for them, but I wouldn't really care if he would just find a less explicitly 'biblical' way to make that case.
