Jehovah's Witnesses are Christians and we remain neutral and do not put our trust in human rulers.(Psalms 146:3) Our allegiance is to Jehovah and his government only. The Bible says that man was not meant to rule over man. ( Ecclesiastes 8:9 ) We obey the laws of governments as long as they do not conflict with God's laws. We maintain the same position as Jesus' apostles: "But Peter and the apostles answered and said, We must obey God rather than men." (Acts 5:29)
Human governments will soon be put out of existance and will be replaced by God's government which will rule over the entire earth. When you say the Lord's prayer and ask for God's Kingdom to come, that is what you are praying for.
The new government will last forever as seen at Daniel 2:44--"
"And in the days of these kings(current human rulers) the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever."
Christians should not put their trust or confidence in political governments that God will soon overthrow. We need to look to Jehovah's Kingdom as the only hope for all mankind.

I'm Pagan, and because I value freedom of religion, I usually vote Democrat, even though my beliefs are more in line with the Leibertarian Party.

My representative in congress is a devout Catholic and a Democrat. My Mother is a devout fundamentalist and a Democrat and politically leans to the liberal side.

I am a Christian, and I stay out of politics. The only part I par take in politics is I pray for our government.

I'm not usually political, but I could never be a Republican. So, I'm Democrat-ish. I'm also very left-wing, and often rather Liberal.
Jesus was a rebel, and He loved everyone.
