I was operating under the impression that a website called ChristiansUnite would be for all Christians to discuss their ideas.  I guess this one is only for the most conservative, and no one who doesn't agree with all of the most conservative  ideas is welcome.  Probably, you should change the name of the website so you don't have to be bothered with anyone who might inject a new idea into your established mindset.

It just occurred to me.  If I was some big time operative for the Democratic party, don't you think that someone would have had enough sense to make me up a fake screen name that couldn't be connected to anything Democratic?  Actually, if I was trying to hide working for Danny, even I would have been smart enough to do that.
You are trying to discredit what I am saying by calling me a Democrat. Is it impossible in your mind that a Democrat could have a valid idea?  I'm not any more a Democrat than I am a Republican, but that's a pretty scary attitude.

Dlee this is not a political platform where you try to get people to vote for your party or your candidate, you don't even know our backgrounds, we are not a bunch of uneducated folks. We know when someone comes here with an agenda to play games with us. We gave you a chance, you were told right from the begining that you were found working for Dmocrat parties after saying you work for the Republican party. I could go on to say more but I really don't want to................

By the way does the D in Dlee stand for Democrat??


I know about Drinking Liberally because I know people who belong to it.  It's a group of people who meet and talk about liberal politics, usually at a local bar or restuarant.
I never heard of the Rainbow thing.
Yes, I am working for a Democratic candidate, I have also worked for Republican candidates.
Are you telling me that working for a Democrat means that I don't have a right to an opinion?  I was saying that neither party is worth much, that you have to look at the person.  And, that we would be better served by a Christian party. 
Think this through,  I am not advocating for the Democrats.  I'm not any crazier about them than I am for the Republicans.  You're kind of paranoid if you're reading more into it than that.  Trust me, the Democrats aren't near as smart as you're giving them credit for being.

  Oh, I think I've managed to offend pretty much everybody. Republicans and Democrats- at least that's how I feel.  If you feel the Republicans have been insulted more than the Democrats, you probably just are more offended by what I've said about them than when I said the same thing about the Democrats.
   I DON"T LIKE EITHER PARTY. I AM mad that I feel used by the Republicans.  Neither party has done anything, but at least the Democrats never suckered me into working for them by saying that they would.
   My point is that I think we should have a better choice than either of these parties.

On the contrary he is telling lies.     "There is no God.", "The U.S. was not founded on Christian principles.", "Separation of church and state.", just to name a few.

A Christian party sounds really good in principle but unfortunately with so many churches going the way of the world I do not see it being any different.

He may be telling himself lies, but he isn't lying to me just to get my support.  And, if we gave people an option maybe so many people wouldn't be going "the way of the world".  As it is now, we have to make a choice every time we go to the polls between a party that admits to being nonChristian and one that "talks the talk, but doesn't walk the walk". 
The Republicans have been in charge of the country for years.  Have you noticed any great changes that they have made?  Little stuff, a few months before the election coming up- that I've seen, but big stuff, that they could have done---- They didn't even try.

  No, I don't prefer an Athiest. But at least he's telling the truth.   I have 0 as in zero respect for a person who says he is a Christian to get Christian support and then forgets the people who put him in office before the ink is dry on the ballots.
  And, yes, it is possible that a person would tell the leaders of a Christian party whatever they wanted to hear in order to get their support, but a whole party would be able to call him to task when his actions didn't live up to what he had said. We don't have any recourse now, when an elected official chooses to follow his party  instead of his God- as Shimkus did- and as many others have done, we can't do anything. 

    I didn't really think much about political parties one way or the other until recently,  I just worked for individual candidates.  Since I have been paying attention, the Republicans have not impressed me as following a path that God would have approved of.  In fact, they disgust me.  I think I would prefer an honest athiest to a person who walks around carrying a cross in public and then who isn't a Godly person when he figures no one is watching.
I can't say I'm all that impressed with the Democrats either.  In fact, I think they are as bad as the Republicans, but not any worse. 
   That's why a Christian party would be a blessing.  A politician wouldn't have to make a choice between doing what his God would want and doing what would benefit his party, as Shinkus did- and made the wrong choice- if his party was more concerned with following God than with political advantage. 

 You do have a major point brother. I would not asociate myself with the Democratic party for any reason as to do so would be to associate myself with all that is against our Lord and Saviour.


  In this District ( Illinois 19th)  Stover is a Democrat  running against a Republican ( John Shimkus) who was the person who the Foley incident was reported to and who  covered it up.  Would you support a good man who was a Democratic candidate or a Republican who covered up for a man who was sending sexual messages to sixteen year old boys?

I've been thinking about your idea about my starting a party.  I think you're way overestimating my ability and  my commitment.  Do you know of any group that's thinking the same way that I could join? 

  That's exactly my point.  Why should we have to choose a between a party that says it doesn't support Christian values and one that says it does but never actually does anything about it.  Danny is a good Christian man who was my professor in college.  I support him no matter what party endorses him, but why can't he choose to run as a Christian instead of as a Republican or Democrat.  Does anyone actually believe that either of those parties represents Christians?

  Whenever I work in a Republican campaign office, I find that most of the people doing the work are evangelical Christians.  That's because they believe what the Republicans say about believing in Christian values.  But, as soon as the election is over, they forget about Christian values until the next election. 
   Republicans, because of the work and money of Christians, have controlled the White House since 2000, the House of Representatives since 1995, the senate since 2003, and Republican presidents have appointed 7 of 9 Supreme Court Judges.  But Christian values legislation is very far down on their list of priorities, so very little has been done.
    Christians could be better served if they put the money and work that they are putting into the Republican party into starting their own party, that is truely based on Christian values.   Imagine what could be done!  We already have all the people and the money. All we need is the leadership.   And, there are a lot more Christians in this country than Republicans.
