Saying a Democrat is a better candidate because of religious reasons flat out shows ignorance on Hemi's part. But than again, with such a close-minded attitude toward religion, it doesn't surprise me.
Remember in the other thread we were talking about actually 'uniting the country' and solving the problem of 'red state' 'blue state?' Isn't it rather obvious that both sides are guilty of pushing the other side even further away? Sad really...because you have a candidate(Obama) who is saying ALL the right things, yet people will ignore him because he is too much of the happy medium.

yes both sides invoke religion, but NOT equally. if the presidential race came down to Obama and Romney, who would you want to win? who do you think would be more likely to stick even more right wing religious chief justices in the supreme court?
true not all the Republican candidates are as bad as Romney. Paul would be a good choice, but he won't win. McCain wouldn't be bad either, but he won't win. and though Guliani wouldn't be holding the religious flag, he woudl still be a disaster and thankfully won't win either. what you're left with is the very high probability of the Republican presidential candidate being of the right christian demographic's choosing. you don't have that problem on the Democrats side
