Just how did the Republicans manage to claim the high moral ground when it's the left that cares about the needy, as virtually all the world's religions say to do?

Why can't the left grab it back?

1. Abortion rights. Gay rights.
Thats how they hijacked the folks to vote against their own interest.

2. Yeah, thats about right
and I am beginning to think the left doesn't want it back. Those platforms are such a nuisance to them.

3. LOL. It's utter insanity, isn't it?
someone has to totally twist the message of Jesus to come up with current talibornagain "theology."

4. People who truly believe that their 'reward' is in heaven, might not care
what happens on Earth, and the repukes exploit this.

Poor people- God will pay them later.

Gays- God will punish them.

Abortion- God doesn't like it.


That's what we're up against. (oversimplified)
