Former 'Dirty Jobs' host Mike Rowe spars over religion, Republicans

Former "Dirty Jobs" host Mike Rowe took time out of his flight to respond to a commenter on his Facebook page.
Rowe posted a photo of himself "somewhere over Colorado" while enjoying what appeared to be a cocktail while dishing out advice to a critic who Rowe said was just trying to sell his book.
"Why on Earth would ANYONE vote Republican?" Facebook user Jim Green asked Rowe. "IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO BE A CHRISTIAN, AND VOTE REPUBLICAN," he continued while challenging Rowe to explain why he votes for Republicans.
"If you really want to persuade thoughtful people that Christians can’t vote for Republicans and remain Christian, you’ll need to appear credible - not hysterical," Rowe wrote in response to Green. "Lower case should work just fine."
Rowe didn't stop there.
"Regarding your overall claim, I’m not an authority on Republicans or Christians, but last I checked, America is still populated by plenty of both,” he continued. “Unless you wish to alienate a majority of the country, you might consider something a tad more conciliatory. Something like - ‘There is no ‘R’ in Jesus - But There’s G-O-P in Gospel!’"

The dude who posted that is an idiot.
Obama's policies and worldview are un-Christian across the board. Foreign policy (drone strikes), economic policy (bailouts and the individual mandate), and social issues (the contraception mandate, late-term abortion).
He would have a point about voting for the neocon wing of the GOP but even then the D's are worse.

I wonder if that Green dude thinks it's possible to be Christian and vote Democrat?

Mike Rowe is a great American.

Both parties leave a lot to be desired in regards to Christianity. I doubt you can make a list and say the GOP good outweighs the bad.
You can have abortion but in regards to treating immigrants the GOP is not very Christian. We are all children of God and the idea of citizenship and nationality is a manmade concept and not consistent with the Gospel.
