I get it. And I'm satisfied with your answer. You said: "I am a Christian and I am also a Republican, but I am NOT a Republican because I am a Christian. I am a Republican because I believe in small government, lower taxes and free markets." I was moderate-left for many years through University. But I moved to the right for precisely the same reasons. Thanks Peter — Great to finally read this. I get it. And I’m satisfied with your answer.

I can't help but think the Democrats spun it this way because it just so happened that the evangelical base swayed the last election in Bush's favor. I'm don't even go to church and I voted Republican, and it sure as hell didn't have anything to do with any view on abortion or stem-cell research. Ridiculous.
