@stanleybmanly True, but it is considerably less common since those with strong enough religious beliefs to say stuff like that tend towards the party of authoritarian control, militant belligerence, and intolerance. And since there is only one relevant party aside from the Democratic party, well, guess what.
@gondwanalon “I have a friend who regularly spouts off propaganda from “Occupy Democrats” and gets very angry and almost hysterical if I questions the accuracy of his information.”
Even I take Occupy’s claims with a grain of salt. That said, I place far more trust in them than I do in much of what most Republicans say. Democrats have a tendency towards half-truths and carefully spun tales that are mostly-but-not-entirely true. By contrast, “half truths” are about as close to facts as most Republicans ever get. Most “fact check” sites either hammer the Republicans relentlessly (drawing accusations of “Liberal Bias”) or run ads/stories like how Paul Ryan is a Socialist and how we wouldn’t have had so many African-American deaths if black people just obeyed the law. To be sure, they occasionally take a shot at a Democrat, but it’s not often.
By contrast, the mirror-images of those sites are often quite biased. You are correct that many Conservatives believe GOP politicians are infallible. You could catch Donald Trump balls-deep in a toddler in the middle of Times Square and he’d probably still be the Republican front-runner.
