Conservatives are all about protecting the wealthy, making the rich richer, and to heck with the poor. Exactly the opposite of what Christianity teaches. Yet somehow the conservatives have managed to convince people that they are the true Christians. In my experience liberals are far more Christian in their attitudes than conservatives.
What did Jesus teach? Love of the poor, and he scorned the wealthy. He healed the sick -- for free! Didn't charge anything. He preferred to hang out with the dregs of society and exposed the hypocrisy of people who made a public display of their religion. Show me a conservative like this. Most conservatives I have known only worship money and/or guns. Not Jesus-like.
Luke 1:53: "He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty."

In theory, I agree with you. But I don't believe for a second that all Democrats are passionate good people.
NOT all, but a good numbers of Democrats have no problems attacking a poor person as long as this poor person is southern, male, white, Christian who is also a Republican.
How many times do you hear these "passionate kind hearted" Democrats say something like, "Republicans are all stupid." "They are uneducated." "They are delusional."
Do you call that Christ like?
I think party affiliation has nothing to do with kindness. There are good people from both parties. I try not to use the word 'stupid' because i firmly believe only stupid people call others stupid. but I wonder if many of these liberal Democrats really understand the true meaning of liberalism.
Liberalism is a political philosophy or worldview founded on ideas of liberty and equality.
the policy of maintaining control over one's subordinates or subjects by encouraging dissent between them.
Is this suppose to make any bloody sense?
I prefer the Democrats because, the policy of maintaining control over....

Democrats and Republicans shouldn't be enemies. why fight each other when nobody is winning.
I suppose if you think that LBGT rights, labor unions, the rights of women and minorities, just to name a few are just trivial issues that we can just agree to disagree upon I suppose you might have a point. Unfortunately for millions of Americans these are not trivial issues in the least bit.

So you think ALL republicans are against LBGT rights? If so, then yes, you can dislike all republicans all you want.

Not ALL Republicans, but certainly those in power in Red states seem to spend a lot of time and effort on it.
There are bigger issues in our country that affects all Americans, than homosexual marriage, trams in bathrooms yet many conservative Republicans think these are the biggest issues in our life. So that's why I won't vote for any Republican that harps on those issues.

Since this thread is about Democrats. I like those Democrats who can agree to disagree. I can name at least 10 liberal Democrats CD posters who are very smart and at the same time, not aggressive at all. I learned a lot from them.
