"At a time when the prospects for immigration overhaul seem most dim, supporters have unleashed a secret weapon: a group of influential evangelical Christian leaders.

Normally on the opposite side of political issues backed by the Obama White House, these leaders are aligning with the president to support an overhaul that would include some path to legalization for illegal immigrants already here. {snip}

Although other religious leaders have long favored immigration overhaul—including Roman Catholics, mainline Protestants, Jews and Muslims—the evangelicals are crucial because they have the relationships and the pull with Republicans."

I'm not sure where to begin with this. It should be obvious though that you religion doesn't automatically make you one or the other side of the political spectrum. There are far right Christians and far left Christians, though the hardcore fundamentalists tend to be right wing conservative by nature.

I'm not sure what point your trying to make other than generalizations.

Every word Christ ever spoke is pretty good proof too. Right-wing christians are all phonies.

Christianity stopped being about what Jesus had to say about the time St. Paul seized the Church from St. Peter.

Not being conservative does not automatically make one left-leaning. Don't forget Conservatives do not have a monopoly on the right. Libertarians of course will tend to be more pro-immigration for obvious ideological reasons (i.e. the idea of minimal government interference in society). Libertarians a la Ron Paul come to mind, who's probably more conservative than most Republicans believe it or not, seeing that he's among the few Constitutionalists among the Republican leadership.

So the idea that all on the right are pure conservatives is false. The right spectrum is shared by a few groups, including libertarians and a few who sit between libertarians and conservatives, again Ron Paul being a good example of that, and generally he's for more open borders on principle.

Hate to say it by Christ in order to counter the Roman empire had to resort to creating a socialist network..."sell your property and put the money in a common purse and those in need can come and take as needed" - that sure sounds leftist to me...wait..differnce being..socialist leaders are always corrupt..then steal from the common purse. So in time all leftist leaders yearn to live high on the hog.

Proof that Christians are LEFTIST not conservative! The Sheeple bleet for Obama

It seems the other point being proposed here is that leftists also bleet more loudly for their leaders than conservatives bleet for their's.

I don't buy that for a minute.

As for the Libertarians, they wouldn't lift a finger to stop the right-wing from nailing Jesus to a stick should he ever reappear, which is exactly what would happen the minute his heart started bleeting for all the immigrants, hookers, junkies, pan-handlers etc.
