Are most frum people republican only because most of our info comes from talk radio (rush, sean ,etc).If rush pushed the liberal agenda would we be democrats? Think about it.

We're Republican because we're traditional, because it's rational, because Republicans are pro-Israel (generalization, I know), because we're Capitalists, because we like low taxes, etc. etc. etc.

Pick your choice.

What's the saying a liberal is a conservative who hasn't been mugged.

Granted if you never plan on earning $$ ( at least "ahem")then you might want to run with the Democrats . ( Think Kiryas Joel , Lakewood and other ultra frum enclaves)just get ready for when the USA goes bankrupt and you have to start paying for housing, food, health care  and heating costs. Until then enjoy my money

Im glad your thinking into the basis of your political veiws because ultimately it should lead to be genuine in your opinions. While many frum jews dont have a robust and sophisticated political idealogy, their conservative leanings are common sense based.
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

If you're saying that genuine opinions and common sense are mutually exclusive, I beg to differ.

I have my issues with the fundamentalist Christians in that party. Especially the ones that support Jews and Israel because they have this idea (End Times Prophecy) that to bring back Christ, they have to get us to rebuild the Temple, then there is this huge war in which most of us die and those who remain convert. A little creepy if you ask me.

Yes, creepy. But less creepy than the people who don't support us.
