Isn't that the bottom line? I mean, not in every case, don't start throwing exceptions at me as I'm sure there are thousands. But really, doesn't it all boil down to that? God or no God?

Sorry, not that easy. You'll have to do a bit more work.

No, I haven't met a democrat that is an atheist. Just because reps call themselves "party of God" doesn't mean that they are. People are always saying Dems are atheists because they don't mention god in their speeches, so what? God is pure and doesn't need to be mixed with a low impure things as politics. Abortion and gay marriage are supposedly sins but Jesus never talked about these things. It doesn't mean anything. You are misguided and need to learn more about both parties.

Not thousands, millions. There are as many Democrats as Republicans who are religious and attend church. Now when you start counting those who attempt to take their religion into the government? That's when the two part ways. Try hard to find a fanatical Christian who claims to be a Democrat these days, it won't be easy.

Hold on a minute! Political party doesn't determine if a person is a christian or not. Politics has nothing to do if they are a christian or not. I know dems. who are christians and I know reps. who are christians. It's the person themself. That's like saying, "To be a police officer, you must be a rep, To be a fireman you must be a dem. It doesn't work that way with policemen,fireman or christian.

Not at all. Many Christians do not believe in legislating their beliefs but that as God granted free will people in America should be allowed the same free will. Democratic
Christians believe everyone has the right to pursue truth and happiness for themselves.

No, sorry, it's not that simple. Democrats want to banish the name of God from every public place. They work hand in hand with activist judges and the ACLU to remove the 10 commandments from schools and courts (while they remain on the Supreme Court building!) and stop children from thanking God for His help in their lives, just because they are at a government school function.
That is, until it's election time, and their pollsters tell them that the public wants to hear some religion. Then they all start INVOKING the name of God as they speechify, and they sit up front in southern urban black churches with 'the reverend' Jackson, and actually PREACH POLITICS FROM THE PULPIT, while back in their expensive offices paid for by the taxpayers, their staffs are busy combing the news for ANY church who dares to utter the name of a Conservative candidate, or support their position, so that the Dems can sic the IRS on that church to revoke their tax-exempt status.
No, it's not as simple as you state. The dems make a major game out of it.

I'm a Christian and Republican and yet I heavily disagree with the tactics of such people I consider worse than Liberals, Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson that do nothing but hurt the name of Christianity in non-Christian's eyes

That's a good question as the Dems are always condemning "The Religious Right" and Ann Coulter writes about the "Godless" Dems.
Is it really that clear cut?

Yes it does my friend. And I know there are many exceptions, especially in Chicago or any other large union city. On the bright side of that.. .. . . I've noticed a significant number of union workers who are fed-up with the Dems lies. Look for a surprise victory next week.

If this were the TRUE case, wouldn't a Republican controlled HOUSE, SENATE, OVAL OFFICE, finally outlaw abortion? They certainly have the power to do so. Or do they just like using this as an election ploy? If they are truly against it, then it should have been gone a long time ago......

No, this entire question is ruthless. There is no basis for it. This information comes from nowhere.
I would think the question should be taken backwards!
Then it might make a little sense!
