The Spiritual Roots of the Democratic Party

The Spiritual Roots of the Democratic Party While politics is a complex, often contradictory subject, there are spiritual principles involved in the Republican and Democratic political parties. State Representative from Utah County and stake president Bill Wright has recently stated that one cannot be a Democrat and a good Mormon. Though I have great respect for many moderate Republicans, I will argue that the Democratic Party is closer to the central teachings of the gospels and the Bible than is the present-day Republican Party.
