Which political party could most correctly be called "The Party of God"?

Nothing like painting with a broad brush is there?

It seems what was being said is they are powerful institutions and as such, are incapable of carrying moral principles.

Name me one Democrat who has never compromised his or her integrity to get their seat in D.C..

 

[Texas Lynn]

Not to mention the 40 million.

40 million Iraquis?

Neither party is the party of God, because they really don't have morals.

Just like the people they represent.

Depends on how you define that. No doubt most have, but why pick on the Dems? Surely you are not naive enough to believe one party is composed of paragons of integrity and the other of blackguards only?

There are some Dems who have remained true to principles and done much to advance the poor and the oppressed. Unfortunately these are few and far between. One could perhaps say Barbara Boxer is one due to her relentless defense of women's rights but she is after all a stockbroker. In Congress, many from safe, mostly minority districts often maintain integrity and what compromises they make are unknown generally. Some might include Maxine Waters, Carrie Meek, Eldolphus Towns, Barbara Rose, Lynn Woolsey, Zoe Lofgren, James McDermott, Barney Frank, Jesse Jackson Jr., Sheila Jackson Lee, and Bernard Sanders among them.

No, I'm not naive, I'm just honest enough to know when a Democrat is trying to save face, much as is the same for a Republican. I agree that honest politicians are few and far between, however, two of them, Barbara Boxer and Jesse Jackson Jr., I consider suspect.

Suspect of what?

Don't know if institutions can have morals. Now, for sure individuals can and do have morals and they can even, gasp, be democrates and politicians too!!!

 

[Yusuf Evans]

Suspect of what?

Of their agendas, especially Jackson Jr.

 

[Matthew777]

God is too good for our partisan silliness.

Peace.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned yet that Hezbollah means, literally, "Party of God."

From my perspective, the entire machine of modern politics is too corrupt...so while there may be people of great integrity within the system, they are so few that it is nearly irrelevent. It would be like throwing a purple jelly bean into a tar pit and expect it to remain purple and tasty.

Ummm...quick question...how can their agendas be worse than the current Admin...and since they do not have the ability to carry out those ________ agendas, do they matter?

oops...2 questions.

Calling out "the faithful" and the Truly Faithful.

Hving voted "no party" I would say that the Democrats seem to work from the premise of Mathew 25 - the text for Christ the King Sunday this year, in that they seem to want to be helping the poor and powerless than fattening up the bank accounts of already fat - OBESE- cats.

Do we have to play the reaper?

I hope not-we would be playing a looong time.

We won-best 2 out of 3.

Reaper: *COUGH* Best 3 out of five

and on and on . . .

Isn't there something in Thessalonians about working and eating? And how they kind of go together?
