I think religion and political affiliations are determined by two factors.
Location and parentage...
I am willing to bet Jharris and Indianavx both had fathers and mothers who were republican. I know for a fact they both live in the midwest in a fine state that is also mostly Republican.
I would also venture to guess( and please correct me if I am wrong)they had grandfathers and grandmothers who were also GOP.
I would also bet if they were both born and raised in Iraq,They might both be devout muslims and possibly insurgents, Burning American flags and shouting "Death to America" as loud as possible.
My point is I think where you live and what your parents believe greatly influences your own beliefs.
If I was born in India, I might be a hindu, and hate pakistanis.
If I were born in Mexico, I might be Catholic, and hate the INS.
If I were born in Germany in the 40's, I might hate jews.
I just think knowing that it is important to think outside the box, and question the beliefs you have been spoon fed since birth.
just my 2 cents.
Think about it..
Just when i thought it was going to end you posted this. First off Indiana is not majority republican. I live in one the most democratic counties in Indiana as well (Clark), see for yourself. True my dad is a republican but my grandparents are not. Actually they are strict liberals, and becuase so there was not any political talk at gatherings before they passed away. However my dad's father was the only republican out of the four and was a local and national figure. I certainly agree your almost born into a party, but through education you choose the party yourself. I think outside the box without a doubt, and it is just a coinsidence that we both live here in Indiana. Quite suprized there have been so many viewers and few to respond and stand up. I guess they realized long before I did that this fight was better left unfought since it has been a true waste of time.
