His teachings(jesus) are universal regardless what conservatives and liberals twist them for their vested interests.It is really daunting for politicians from either sides to live the words if they dare to do so.The only human being who has lived or tried lived the words of "Sermon on the mount" was Gandhi who happens to be a non-christian politician.And he did pay dear price for doing so. Once you are labeled a conservative or a liberal you are already in conflict with the teachings of basic human values.And that is where the real problem lies.
