Christian = Republican?

I ask because, since my conversion, and my new career, my politics have moved to the right. Or so I'm told!

It's a dramatic oversimplification, I know, but I still wondered what people thought.

Again I would say none of the above. We are Christians first and foremost. When a Christian votes they need to vote according to Christian values not necessarily any certain party. The democratic party definitely is not one that a Christian should support, especially to the point that it has taken recently. When voting for most democrats you are approving such things as abortion and same sex marriages and more anti-Christian values. Unfortunately there has been individuals that have also invaded the republican party that are also supporting those same values. It has become very important therefore to know what exactly the individual stands for.

I find that, particularly in my career, I'm more influenced by Republican politics, and they seem more in tune with my religious beliefs too. Of course we shouldn't accept it wholesale, but this is how I feel.

There is a disagreement amongst the RNC right now over their platform. The majority are blaming their losses this election on just this subject. Some want to make it more centrist yet others want to get back to the basics of the original platform. They do need to get back to the basics. This is what Sarah Palin stood for.

Yes, an interesting message. Not popular with everyone!
