My grandparents are, it appalls them that my father is republican, and they are the most godly, God-fearing people I know.
They are still in the mindset of the 40's & 50's, and no amount of arguing will convince them otherwise. These are people who have always worked themselves to the bone, they do not listen to radio, read the newspaper or watch TV, so they have no real concept of how much the world has changed, especially politically.
My mother and I both work the elections every voting day - me as a registered Republican, she as a registered Democrat. Both of solid Christian Bible-believing women.
I would register as an Independent except for the fact that I enjoy working on election day and there is no space at the table for an Independent.
So I just vote for the one who I feel is the best for the job and don't even check to see what denomination they are.
What about following people who start wars by lies, should a self respecting Christian vote for them...What about giving arms to terrorists in all areas of the world, but I will settle on Afghanistan and Nicaraugra...2 sides to every story. Btw, I have always voted republican, but that isn't my point.
What IS your point?
I am not sure the initial post in this thread said anything about comparing the two or which is the greater party...

What I don't understand is how the "christian" republicans can ignore all this stuff.
The other side of the coin is, how much have the republican presidents actually done to stop or change any of the things listed.
IMO, all politicians are bought and sold so many times by the time they reach the White House, they are virtually ineffectual anyways.
I'm not a democrat, but I wouldn't consider myself a republican anymore either.
I am republican, I will vote republican, and I do not believe that you can be politically or socially liberal and still believe that every word in the Bible is true.
Republican presidents appoint conservative judges (not necessarily that all of them maintain their views), and I would rather take the chance of appointing a conservative hoping he has strong convictions read: Justice Thomas and Scallia, than appointing a flat out liberal radical read: Justice Ginsberg.
Yes, my deceased mother was one...So I don't appreciate the comments.
I have always felt the Republican Party has fit my way of life. I CANNOT say I agree with all they stand for...but most. I DID NOT mean to offend anyone with my comment about being God fearing, because we will all have to answer for everything we say and do some day. Even old winklebottom!!!

My grandfather was the senior elected official in the state of Louisiana when he died.
He was president of the Democratic Executive committe from 1939ish to 1996. He never once voted for a democrat for president! LOL!
