"I am a liberal because of my faith, not in spite of it."

This election cycle I've been told "how can I be a Christian and vote for a democrat?" And when I corrected some propaganda that a RW friend posted a bunch of her friends said they would pray for the scales to be removed from my eyes.

As I told someone last night, I've voted republican before but seeing the direction they are going and how hateful it's becoming I'll likely never vote republican again.
