    No. Because most of them couldnt care less about true Christian values. Summed up by the democrats taking the word "God" out of their party's PLATFORM at the last convention. So, tell me, since they decided that God wasn't such a big deal how in the world or WHY would Christians follow even consider following these godless liberal politicans?

    This "God Gulf," in the words of New York Times columnist Nick Kristof, is reflected in polls like this recent one from Pew Center for People and the Press: 64 percent of those who attend church more than once a week intend to vote for President Bush while 66 percent of those who never attend plan to vote for the Democrat - a whopping 32 point gap.

    Columnist Robert Novak refers to the "highly secularist" nature of the Democratic Party, echoing an article in the Public Interest magazine called "Our Secularist Democratic Party."

    Those facts alone show that those believing the democratic party as a "God fearing" party are just blatantly false and incorrect. Sorry liberal dems.. you can soothe yourselves with lie's and fantasies, but in the end the TRUTH is what's important.

    Christians like to claim that more than 80% of the US is Christian. The Republican presidential candidate has won the popular vote ONCE since 1984. Even if every single person to vote Republican was a Christian, that still leaves a lot of Christians voting Democrat.

    Personally, I don't think that it would be a good strategy for the Ds to somehow tie every plank of their platform to what Jaysus would do, like the Rs do. It doesn't seem to be working out very well for Republicans, at least.

    No, there are too many people in the Democratic Party that are outright hostile to Christians.

    With the appointing of the new pope the democrats got the Catholic vote locked up.

    They also got 92% of the Baptist vote, except for the gay marriage thing.

    Yes. It's become more and more obvious that Republicans are not true Christians. They are just posers who exploited Christian values in order to indoctrinate devout Christians into supporting their capitalist agenda. The pope is exposing this scam.

    Only from the Christians that believe Jesus was a black man with an afro. He was a complicated man, and no one understood him but his woman. (Black Jesus) He was one bad mother (shut yo mouth) I'm just talkin' 'bout Black Jesus. Can ya dig it?

    No and even if the DIMS think that a white woman would, they are not taking into account that her husband was considered the first black president. That will resonate in the minds of the Christan right... The next president by proxy is Ted Cruz.

    It appears we are the only Christians following the word of Christ our Lord. Looking after his people. So yes. If your insinuating Republican Conservatives hold that title still, You're in for a huge surprise.
