should a christian be a republican? Options

[Retrogressive]

I guess since republicans do not believe in homosexual marriages and abortion most christians I know are republicans. But what about the seperation between church and state? I guess morals have a lot to do with who you will vote for, but shouldn't it be the right person for the job? A lot of christian republicans that I know don't believe in abortion and that is a big issue of why they voted for bush, but I haven't seen bush do anything about abortion. I don't know is it wrong to be a democrat christian? Isn't kerry a christian?

i can hardly call fighting for independence prude. democracy was a complete experiment. two of the most important revolutionaries, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin, were not christian. Jefferson was atheist and Franklin was deist. I think it's better that Kerry is willing to defy the bible. a president bound to a lousy book is doomed to failure. choppiest. paragraph. ever.

Democracy may have been an expiriment, but it's foundations had already been tested for a thousand years. A lousy book??? The greatest presidents who did the most for our country were not bound to the book, but chose to follow it's lead. Bush is not bound to the Bible, but follows it's clearly outlined example of how to lead a good life and making the world a better place.
