Evangelist to the world Billy Graham, who has stayed politically neutral throughout his career, has ruffled feathers by revealing that he has been a long-time Democrat. There are a lot of unspoken assumptions and presumptions in the evangelical world.
Really, though, just because a person is a Democrat doesn't mean that said person supports everything Democratic -- i.e. abortion rights and liberalization of marriage laws. Likewise, just because a person is a Republican doesn't mean that said person supports everything Republican -- i.e. facility of corporate greed and a more laissez-faire approach to the environment. By definition no political party can have it all right. That's the nature of politics. And that's why Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world..." (John 18:36)
