Don't know. But I can tell when one wears God in their heart.

Who has made your particular belief in God a campaign issue?
I strive to view life through a biblical perspective as much as I am humanly able to and as much as the Holy Spirit enables me. So when I am going over any issue, it is God that guides me, that is when I let Him and am not being my own God.

Quote:
And which party claims to be morally superior because they believe in God's standards while consistently falling on their holy swords?
We all consistently fall on our holy swords everyday.

Quote:
And while carrying God's flag which party has done more harm to the U.S. in my lifetime?
I don't know how long your lifetime span is. But regardless, it is not one party that is doing more harm to the US than any other party due to how our government is set up on a intricately woven set of checks and balances that continues to sway back and forth through the years.

Quote:
I just realized that claiming to be God's party has it's dangers if you not up to the high standards it invokes...
God is not a republican or a democrat.

Nothing at all unless it's a sham and they are doing it just for votes, and they don't meet the standard.

Fine and dandy, just do the electorate a favor and don't put yourself in a leadership position as a disciple of Jesus.

The current Administration has done an excellent job of subverting checks and balances. I'm hoping the situation is about to be corrected.

Agreed as we don't know what God really is.

Don't kid yourself. Every party ever elected has done an excellent job of subverting checks and balances, which is why the pendulum continuously swings back and forth.

NeoCon. I view them basically as super-conservatives although the wiki link does not really say that.

Exactly my point. It isn't meant to be used the way it's "cool" to use it now.

I must be misunderstanding you or something. Or maybe I just don't watch enough TV or read enough editorials to know what you are talking about. But I have never seen any political party called the disciples of Christ.

Normally I can at least track where you think you're going, but this time you've given me the slip. I know it's not our beef, but I thought I would throw this out just 'cause.
