→Not liberal: On Phelphs' Democratic allegiance
:ArthurA, that great site of errors- Wikipedia, list Phelps as a Democrat. The reason that conservatives to want to label him a Democrat is the fact that 'we Christians' are appalled by his actions. It is so easy for our religious opponents to say...another fundie right-winger, when the whole mess that exists is truly non-Christian, non-conservative. Naturally, nobody likes to be associated with this guy but unfortunately, everybody is.--[[User:Jpatt|jpatt]] 13:03, 27 February 2009 (EST)

:: So Wikipedia lists Phelps as a Democrat, and Wikipedia's full of errors, so does that mean that he's not a Democrat?
:: People do change their views, and I find it hard to imagine either main American party endorsing him, but is there any evidence of him changing his Democratic allegiance? Wikipedia's references to him being a Democrat seem to be based on him standing as one in various elections, the last of which was eleven years ago. Yes, he could have changed his mind since then, but the claim would be a lot more convincing if the last connection with the Democrats was, say, 30 years ago.
:: Being appalled by his actions is not justification for labelling him in any group. Yes, it is easy for anti-Christians to cite his as a Christian, but them being wrong on that doesn't mean that we can therefore do similar in return and group him with the Democrats simply because we don't want him grouped with us.
