Some were that because of union ties, the assumption that democrats take better care of the poor and many other reasons. All of the these members were pro-life and against same sex marriage. There are districts in which conservative, Bible-believing democrats are running for office. For some, the democrats have so changed from the past, as under President Kennedy, that they no longer can remain in the party. Others have not yet made up their minds. The bottom line is that as with the republican party in which there are those who disagree with the basic tenets of the party, so also with the democrats. Even Jesus agreed that taxes should be paid to Caesar while at the same time inspiring the holy writers to reveal that we serve God rather than men. Appreciate your question but can understand how party membership is not as clear cut as some would have it be. David, I was a pastor of a congregation in which over 70% of the members were democrats.
