how does the party supposedly so religious, begrudge charity towards the poor? doesn't that stance clash with their so called christian values? they wear bracelets saying wwjd....well, i doubt jesus would be against medical care for the poor.
but, i'm sure the neocons can explain it and justify it.

I'd love to hear a sane, lucid, thought-provoking answer to this. You would think that
somebody could provide one.
It's funny actually, only 4 gospels in the bible actually document his life, and in those 4 books you'd think, as these Christians spout, all he ever gave a crap about was making sure 2 dudes didn't get married, and that you didn't heave stones at your girlfriend/wife's gut to end a pregnancy.
The reality is that he never mentioned homosexuality or ending a pregnancy one single time.
What he did discussed at length however, was that you treat everyone with the same respect and dignity "for what you do to the least you do to me" and to be very weary and fearful of the ultra-wealthy "The love of money above all is the root of evil."
I'd be willing to bet that there is going to be a lot of disappointed "Christians" when they finally get to meet him.
