I really don't see much difference between the two parties any more.

I think Republicans treat the Fundamentalist Christians just like Democrats treat African-Americans. They use fear and lies and all sorts of silly promises to motivate us to vote for them and then never follow through and get anything done.
we cannot out reach the attitude of the supreme court. however, Judge Alito and Roberts go a long way to answering your questions in a way that we should like.

as for the other questions, we are in a death match with a mindset bent on seeing American distroyed. that has ramifications.

also care to point out these privacy rights you are refering to?

Just wondering. This will be the first election that I will be voting as a registered Independent.
The answer is YES - even though it is like a camel going through the eye of a needle. I liken it to a practicing Catholic being a Born Again Christian - so many conflicts!

EXACTLY!

I would add a #5 though... We must seal our leaky borders, and neither party is up to it!

The difference between the parties is narrowing. I will be a registered Independent because the Republican party has "used and abused" me for the last time. I won't say what I feel like...but it won't happen again.

I thought this thread might cause some discussion, but I didn't think it would be this much. All the posts are good food for thought.

I guess one could be a "DINO" or a "RINO" and not hold to the party's platform. Kind of hard to blur the lines though.

Can Apostolics be Democrats?
Yes, they can.
However, I don't understand how they could in all good conscience espouse the principles of the Democratic Party. I'm not putting anyone down. These are just philosophical differences among Christians.

My father-in-law was a good man. He had been baptized in the Spirit and loved the Lord, yet he was a card carrying member of the Teamsters Union and always voted Democrat. He told me one time, "I would vote for a n..... if they ran him on the Democratic ticket."

Thad, can you tell me that the platform of the Democrat party matches your personal morals and beliefs? What about the demoncrat party do you proudly agree to be associated with them? Please note...I am not talking about individual demoncrats....I am talking about the issues and platform that the party stands on.
