Liberals tend to only tolerate deviants who agree with them. If you practiced what you preached, you’d understand that some people are weak and need serious help. Just because they call themselves Republican does not mean we condone their actions.

I could never explain all that to you. I still try to figure it out myself. I mean just because I agree more with the conservative side doesnt mean I stand for any of that nor agree! Nor does that mean that I support Bush 100% of the time. Why are Clinton and Obama both liberals and say we shoul dunite but they are at each other’s throat? That make’s no sense to me at all? Why are father’s in the Catholic church behaving badly with young boys? That doesnt mean that I doesnt mean that all Catholics are into the same gross desires. Also, I have a lot of friends thatw ould consider themselves Republicans and conservative. We make tons of donations and help other people and we do feel that follwoing the way of the bible and involving the bible in polotics in a way that satisfys our life, but it is NOBODY’s place to judge!! To be honest, my “Liberal” friends are the MOST harsh on judging and demanding and pointing out and being critical of everything. That’s just my experience.

Not all Republicans think alike. Just like not all democrats think alike.
The 4 basic Republican principles are
1. Smaller government
2. Lower taxes
3. Personal responsibility
4. Strong national defense

One of your glaring errors is in the fact that you assume that the Log Cabin Republicans get along with and feel very comfortable sharing a “big tent” with the evangelical preachers. Log Cabin Republicans is indeed a gay organization with thousands of members — nearly all of whom would like to kick the evangelicals out of the “big tent.” Conversely, the evangelicals will have nothing to do with the Log Cabin Republicans.

There are always exceptions to any general rule.
Of the roughly 100 million conservatives, you’ve mentioned about a hundred who go against the base-line morality that the party promotes.
Don’t blame the entire movement just because some individuals don’t practice what they preach.

There is no good explanation for the actions of these people. But in every group you will have your share of hypocrites who like to talk the talk but wont walk the walk. Look at Gore flying privates jets around the world to talk about global warming. Same thing. Do we really think Michael Moore, if faced with a life or death situation, would fly to Cuba? Both Clintons speak about the rich have to many tax shelters and they are going to lead the way in change. Yet their taxes, which they made public, had a ton of tax shelters and write offs. Many politicians just spout what they think their voters want to hear, and thats it. Remember also that not all Republican politicians agree with the party line on homosexuality. Guliani for one sways from the party on social issues, as does Governor Ah-nold. Please dont believe that Democrats don’t make judgements on how we should live. You may be speaking of a certain issue such as homosexuality, but I feel way more pressed by the Dems than I do by the Reps. Dems force politcal correctness, they push social programs, they push socialized medicine, restrictions on financial institutions, restrictions on capitalism, etc etc. Which boils down to making judgements on how you should live. It is always different when looking through someone elses eyes.

Do you think someone’s popping out Republicans or Democrats with a cookie cutter?
Every choice about which party to affiliate with involves some trade offs for most people. In fact, if East Coast and West Coast Democrats didn’t control the party, I’d probably belong to the Democratic Party – Senators like Ken Salazar and Ben Nelson are pretty good, as are governors like Bill Richardson and Janet Napolitano.
Admittedly, the last few years the folks on the extreme right have have gained enough power in the Republican Party to make being Republican as distasteful as being Democrat, but there’s still a wide variety of people in both parties.

What do you mean the Dems don’t tell you how to live? They force the issues of Affirmative Action, Equal Rights, Gay Rights,
Illegal Immigration and everything else down my throat. What gives them the right to make me believe that I want any of this?

Why is it we hear all about some Republican getting caught with his pants down,but it was a personal matter with Clinton?
How about the Dems caught with their hands in the cookie jar (taking Bribes )?
I could care less about someones sexual orientation as long as they keep it where it belongs,behind a closed door.
