I would not be surprised to find that many fundamental Christians who have traditionally aligned themselves with the Democrats have determined to stay away from the polls rather than support the party's platform.
Flame On is it ignorance or arrogance to assume that a Democratic President would appoint judges and enact laws that would enhance or at least protect the killing of unborn children and the redefining of the family to include any combination of partners? I guess you could argue that one should not decide who you are going to vote for on one or two issues but, generally most do on either side of the political fence. Also to a fundamental Christian one is a life and death issue involving children and the other(the family) will determine the future of the country.

Good point. The religious right wanting to control women's bodies and decide what counts as human life. Add that to a section of the population who would like to marry, but the religious right arrogantly want's to decide what the defenition of family is. Like I said, talk about arrogance and minimalizing.
You are right, if you want to decide how others live their lives in those respects you should probably not vote along the lines as you mentioned.
But don't try and tell me that the left are arrogant and minimising in comparison to that!
