.. politicians insist upon invoking the name of Christ, or of God, just for the sake of political gain. .. Where are people gettingevidence that Christ is in a political party? ..Being a Christian conservative is tough because you can't get too comfortable with any one party. Don't put the faith that should rest on Christ on a political party, or pin it on the next election cycle

What is your angle, bro? Bush appeals to conservative Christians on policy and values, he's never said that "God was on our side". Krattenmaker is just another bitter Demosocialist yearning for votes they'll never get.

So..why is it Christians should not "put their faith" on one Party? What in the world do the Democraps have to offer besides income redistribution? (or are you saying that should be enough, troll boy?)

Christians are called to put their faith in Christ, not the RNP. True, the RNP has more things that align with Christian principles. But not everything about the RNP lines up with Christian principles, or even conservative principles. Case in point-the erosion of civil society via the ever-enlarging domestic US budget, especially in the area of education. No Child Left Behind was a massive failure and provided excellent proof that MORE government intervention is not the answer (which is generally the liberal tagline). Even at CPAC this past weekend, there was a lot of talk about the Republican party losing sight of its conservative principles in light of its increasingly Big Government tendencies.

My angle is that I'm conservative, and this administration hasn't been conservative straight down the line. I'm not saying I would rather have another party in office, I'm just raising the point that a lot of conservatives are raising.
