Why does the religious right support the GOP?

Question

The GOP is against feeding the hungry, treating the sick, comforting the oppressed and praising peacemakers. Three of the last five presidential candidates were divorced. The VP's daughter is a homosexual. The VP nominee is giving her full support to premarital s*x. In the past 40 years, every GOP president has started or escalated military action that has killed innocent civilians.

The Democrats' platform seems to better support the IDEAS of Jesus. The GOP only celebrates the IDEA of Jesus.

Answer 4

i think it is fair to say that the religious right is only concerned with political issues that touch on the topic or subject of s*x.

Birth control, abortion, homosexuality. Interestingly, Jesus didn't seem too concerned with these issues in his life's ministry. His later disciples, like Paul and other evangelists came across these issues in the coarse of founding and attempting to manage Christian communities.
