It is these special intrest groups that support mostly Democratic candidates, However I will be the first to admit that Romney is no roll model either.
As for my family, experience has proven that while I had a steady and secure job during Democratic times, I rarely saw increases financially. Where as the last 8 years has been rewarding for my family. Personally I have seen an increase in my wages of 84% in just the past 6 years.
BTW--miss you over at the AM forum Bro.

Ok...let's continue because we didn't get to the heart of the question. We'll go into a little more detail here.
How do Democratic policies destroy the value of the family in general?
You listed a number of issues. But these issues are social issues that are with us with or without the Democratic Party. In all these subjects I can see where we Christians are offended. But I really don't see how these subjects "destroy the value of the family".
How does a woman having the final say regarding abortion destroy the value of the family? Is government the answer? Why not address the socio economic issues women are facing that cause them to consider abortion?
Gay marriage is flaky...if I were their pastor I'd advise they attend another church if they wanted to marry...but are private arrangements between private citizens my business?
Gay adoption is definately questionable...but most gays aren't going to choose to adopt.
Does religion belong in public schools?
I was in People to People International and participated in foreign youth exchange. I was also the first Junion to become President of the International Club in high school. I remember the classes on foreign cultures and languages. When it comes to the Middle East, one has to know a little about Islam to understand Middle Eastern culture.
And in closing...all these issues are state issues. Regardless...how do these destroy the value of the family?
