The way I look it, from my own beliefs versus politics is:
"Republicans say 'Change and then I will accept you'
Democrats say 'I accept you, no bother to change'
Jesus says 'I accept you as you are, however you do need to change'"
I know that's awfully simplistic, it's just a summation, but it's a summation that a) outlines how I feel I'm supposed to treat people and b) why I have a hard time fully identifying with either poltical party, or understanding why people supposedly of similar spritual belief as me in general, choose to do so.
