Democratic Party And Republican Party

Charlotte Said:

Isn't it true that the democratic party and the republican party is dead wrong on 2 fundamental issues?

We Answered:

You are right... its a major hypocracy!

Frankly, when it comes down to it... life and death is a religious issue rather than a political one. It crosses lines, and yes, they are blurry.

Good question!
