I think you're missing the whole point here. I'll put out what I believe about this whole thing. I have been an Executive Director of a Federal PAC for a few years which will support ANYONE, D, R, or I who lives, not just espouses conservative Judeo-Christian principles.

Any Apostolic who votes ONLY along party lines when it comes to candidates does NOT please God! (IMO) What is more important than the party the candidate is registered to is the beliefs the candidate holds. Our PAC was instrumental in getting the first black mayor elected to Youngstown, OH recently. He was basically a D running as an I. I personally sat down with him and had a good talk about where he stood. We also recently endorsed a Democrat, who was running for mayor of another city in Ohio. This man was truly a conservative Christian who knew that he had to run as a D.

I can in good conscience vote for a Democrat who is a "DINO" but I cannot ever vote for a liberal who is trying to bring socialism to the US. It sounds to me like you espouse many of the principles of socialism and would be happy to see them implemented in American politics and society.

Truthfully, I am ticked with the R's for using & abusing me as one of their supporters, but I am vehemently opposed to the Democratic platform and what they predominantly stand for. There are far more left wing wackos in the D party than there are in the R party. I don't know how long that will last until the R's become just as bad.
