59. I'm a Christian Democrat and I also think we have to remember to be
humble and not superior. We don't have all of the answers either. I read somewhere else - the words of Joan Chittister - that there is a fight between personal morality (right wing republicans) and social responsibility (liberal democrats). So, I think we have to be sensitive to the personal morality thing and have some answers regarding that. Sometimes I wonder why my argument is for the right to pitch all of that and come over to my side, because my side is for feeding the poor, health care for all, etc. I'm hoping that we can bring some sensible people together to discuss this issue in a sensible fashion. The main thing is that we have let the right be the ONLY group to talk about faith for way too long. I know that I vote Democrat because it does match up with my faith more directly.
