Can Apostolics be Democrats?

[ChristopherHall]

If abortion and gay marriage were off the table (technically they are since both parties really don't plan to do anything about them)....which party would properly address the problems with international trade, free (but unfair) markets, multinational corporations that don't observe human rights in third world countries, the rising cost of health insurance, international diplomacy and the prevention of military hostility, the problems with pre-emptive war, the privacy rights of all Americans and the problems of the government's surveliance and wire tapping, exploitation and abuse of American labor, increased corporate money and power in the halls of government, and the list can go on.

I think the Republicans have been in office so long and the majority of Americans have lost faith that they will properly address so many of these important issues. So many Americans are looking at giving the Democrats a shot and seeing what good they might be able to to do. Remember, government works for us. If they don't do the job right we need to fire them and hire someone else. That's the only way to keep both parties activily trying to do their best. The problem is the Republicans count on us always voting for them like lemmings regardless of if we're loosing our jobs, can't pay for gasoline, can't pay for health insurance, can't pay for perscription drugs, etc. I think they've underestimated how far they can push Christian vote. I think that's why this thread exists. Something is awakening in our social conscience that is telling us that we need to punish the "R's" because they've really not done a good job and are taking our vote for granted.
