4. It amazes me that this is the party that claims to be the party of Christians...

Seriously, have any of these Christians ever cracked open the actual pages of their bibles and bothered to read any of it. Where is the compassion? Where is the humanity? Where is Christ in any of their rhetoric?

I guess they are more worried about keeping Christ in Christmas (the most commercialized, over-consumptive time of the year that values stuff over people)... and they are more worried about what other people are doing in their bedrooms... and they are over-zealous with their righteous determination that every sexual act promotes reproduction and that in the event an egg becomes fertilized, the fertilized egg has more rights than the woman... to the point of allowing the woman to die in order to keep the fetus inside the womb, which will die along with the host mother, rather than a Dr and the woman make the decision what to do in regards to medical situation. AND once a baby is born, and it is born to a young, poor woman, then, they don't want to pay more in taxes to eli offset the major costs in raising a healthy baby and child. Hypocrisy knows no bounds with these people.

Exactly, how are these people Christian? And how does the rest of the country take them seriously when their Candidates for serious offices that make the laws that quite literally control the quality of our lives of people, when they bully the GLBT community, make it harder to escape poverty, tell school teacher professionals how to do their jobs with less resources all so that the kids can make it to adulthood and be able to work for the corporations that are sucking the life-force out of everything that has been "good" in America, and seriously, are still race-baiting... Do they not understand that color does not make one person better or another lessor?
