We should evaluate each candidate to make sure that their beliefs are our beliefs and that they would vote and support the things that we would. In my opinion, the Republican Party as a whole most closely mimics what I believe the LDS church teaches are the important values that we should stand up for. It is hard to read "The Family: A Proclamation to the World", and then go out and vote for men and women who do not stand up for the traditional family values as discused in that document. If you take an honest look at the national democratic and republican platforms at this time, it is not surprising to me that so many LDS members support the Republican ticket more often than then Democratic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6495998.post-43798076964816754612011-09-19T22:19:07.063-06:002011-09-19T22:19:07.063-06:00There is no question that God needs more Democrats...There is no question that God needs more Democrats.

I understand the need for like minded folks to join together to promote their agenda's, <b>sadly these political organizations seem as if they are constantly preparing for war.</b> With the complexity of just the social aspects of our melting-pot society, it bothers me that there are some who think it should work a <b>certain</b> way, when an open-minded approach seems to fill all the gaps that these partys seem to dilegently intend to widen. Ask a 1000 what the definition of any of these (democrat, republican etc.) are and you would most likely get about 950 definitions for each. Do you know who or "what" you are and if so do you know why? By the way, because your parents were, is sadly the most common answer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6495998.post-89999650572119059902008-11-13T19:23:00.000-07:002008-11-13T19:23:00.000-07:00Hi don't know you, but thanks for posting that.
