Being a Christian Democrat Sunday School teacher from Kentucky, I founded Christians for Democrats after seeing Biblical facts twisted, manipulated, and blatantly falsified by Republican propaganda and rhetoric, even from members of my own church. I find that Republicans take advantage of good Christian people in an effort to force their agenda, which only supports the big corporations and special interests. There was a lot of talk about values this election year, and unfortunately "moral values" voters help give George W. Bush another term. I want to set the record straight and teach you, and every Christian, why you should support the Democratic party.Christians for Democrats is a grassroots advocacy group, dedicated to the correct information, backed by Biblical facts, to make the voter aware of their Christian duty to vote Democratic. We have been enraged of how the Republican Party is using our Christian brothers and sisters with inflammatory claims of how their party is a moral leader. However, Republicans have done nothing to change the policies they claim to be against. The Republican Party?s politics are cynical examples of political grandstanding. If some of the policies George W. Bush is proposing, our rights to attend the church of our choice may be in jeopardy.
Well, that pretty much sums it up, doesn't it? Now, if we can just get this good Christian man from Kentucky to move one state east and help us out here in Virginia this election year, we'll be in great shape! Alternatively, we would be thrilled if he'd just write and tell us what he thinks about Jerry Kilgore. Just a thought.
PS Four other good progressive Christian sites are here, here, here, and here.
Do you REALLY believe we're all going to hell? I think you better check out your neighborhood, or even more so, your own church pews. Bet my ass there's gonna be some gays and lesbians rubbing elbows with you that you don't even know about. Check the statistics on this one, pardner.
I don't subscribe to all the banter that Kilgore might be gay. In fact, I'm glad he's not. I don't want him on my side. He's done enough already to try and squelch the EQUALITY of gays and lesbians that we deserve.
I said, DESERVE!! See, Pastor John, we have just as much right to be here roaming this earth as you do. SO ppppfffffftttttt!!!

"very cute"
is not appreciated. please keep your homosexual tendencies to yourself - or better yet, please seek a cure before it is too late and you find yourself burning in hell for an eternity.
I'm not sure what to do though. The Republicans use gay issues to scare up votes in every election from dog catcher to president...
Are you saying Kilgore is gay?
Your line about "Democrats are highly welcoming to gays and lesbians" isn't true in Virginia. Yeah, it's the Republicans who are leading in introducing homophobic legislation, but there are damned few Democrats standing up and speaking out against that legislation. In fact, I see lots of Democrats falling into the "well I hate fags more than [fill in name of GOP opponent] does".
My prediction? Some day Virginia will recognize gays and lesbians as full citizens entitled to full rights. But that day won't come soon, it won't come easily, and a lot of Democrats will join with Republicans in resisting it. Shame on them!
What are you going do do Lowell if Tim is forced to denounce all this childish, homophobic crap you seemed obsessed with?
But he isn't. He's a good christian man, with good christian values and faith of the heart. You impugn his character with these assassinations and I will not stand for it. Jerry does not stand for the wicked ways of the homosexual agenda. Your candidate does. Please take down this ammoral and anti-christian blog.
