Romans 13:4 "For the one in authority is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God's servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer."
Now I know some people really like to pick and choose the leaders they will respect, but the Bible affords us none of that. It's pretty clear, whether we like it or not. Paul Ryan, John Boehner, etc are not my favorite people either, but this is pretty clear. They are there because God put them there.
We will see which side comes out on top in future elections. I would urge anyone who claims to be a follower of Christ to remember that verse in the future, because we all have trouble with leaders we think are not leading the way we think they should lead. But to question God's judgement in placing them in that position is to deny God's ultimate authority over us all.
I include myself in that too, because I often have problems with some of the elected. But maybe God just puts them there so we can all see what we should be opposed to.
