BMW, you are wrong. I believe that is why the Republicans can't grow, and that is because of RELIGIOUS party. Sorry, I have to disagree with you - IT IS NOT ON THE PARTY MEMBERSHIP FORM To have a religious view.
If the majority of Republican elected officials weren’t statists then their Christianity would have little if anything to do with their politics. The gay marriage issue, for example, wouldn’t be an issue if Republicans addressed it from the proper perspective i.e. does the government have any justification issuing licenses for marriage.
