The reason why I buy into the Democratic Party more than the Republican Party is because there are over 2,000 verses of Scripture that deal with responding to the needs of the poor.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The teachings of the Church line up more with the Democratic Party than the Republican Party.
So I really would like to see both parties respond to the poor with greater commitment. But I've got to tell you, the Democrats, I feel, are doing a better job in that respect than Republicans are.
In the past, the Republican Party has depended on unified support at election time from Evangelical Christians. But times are changing!
You can't be evangelical and associate yourself with Jesus and what he says about the poor and just have no other domestic concerns than tax cuts for wealthy people.
I think there are other issues that the Democrats could use to rally evangelicals. There are a lot of us, for instance, who believe that the Bible calls us to be environmentally responsible.
Christ preferred the poor; ever since I have been converted so have I.
I am a Christian and a Democrat, that's all.
I prefer, in a word, the republican system, because it comes up more nearly to God's system.
Democrats are people who raise your taxes and spend your money on weird stuff. They steal your guns, and they spit on your faith.
The only difference between the Democrats and the Republicans is that the Democrats allow the poor to be corrupt, too.
