Although I typically vote republican I am finding it difficult to align myself with any particular party.  None of them fit like a glove so I decide which is the closest.  I have found out one thing, based on the last four years, the republicans are not the party of fiscal reponsibility they have claimed to be.

From the liberal side I have heard the argument that they are better christians because they support policies to help those in need.  I contend that if we were truely a country of christians, we would not need the government to tax us and then help the needy...we would do it ourselves.

No one should consider themselves compassionate because they pay taxes.  It doesn't work that way.
