Typically polemic and deceptive that you would leave out the rest of the truth:

"Opposition to Al Gore and Bill Clinton

Prior to Bill Clinton's second presidential campaign, Phelps and the Westboro church began to oppose Clinton and Gore because of the administration's support for gay rights. The entire Westboro congregation picketed an 1997 inaugural ball,.[27] denouncing Gore as a "famous fag pimp."[28] In 1998, Westboro picketed the funeral of Gore's father, screaming vulgarities at Gore and telling him "your dad's in Hell."[28]

In the aftermath of the election, in an incident that would be repeated years later when Phelps circulated a fuzzy petition to outlaw homosexual work protection, many of the Kansas Democrats who had cast votes for Phelps came forward to express their distaste for him. They claimed that Phelps had lied about his intentions to numerous constituents, using double-talk and fuzzy language to confuse them; neglected to mention his stances on race, religion, and homosexuality, and campaigned mainly on the platform of a "good ol' boy" Southern gentleman and retired lawyer unfairly prosecuted by the system.[29]"

They are no more democrat than they are republican. You want to make a bet on how they vote?
