I doubt God registers Republican, but the use of the word "Right" is an interesting symbolism. In addition to fishing to the RIGHT of the boat, Jesus also sits to the "RIGHT" of God.
A significant symbolic parallel: God commands Abraham to sacrifice Isaac. Abraham proves his loyalty and Isaac is spared. God shows He is willing to go as far as man plus a step further by sacrificing His son for the descendents of Abraham. A cosmic poker game?
Here's a chauvenistic interpretation: Note that the devil first targets Eve for temptation. Note the differences in voting among the genders during the last 3 Presidential elections. Without the female vote, Dole would have won in '96. How's that for politically incorrect?

Jesus gave us the New Testament. He taught us to love even the despised, to forgive infinitely, never to judge and to have faith. How does that Creator blame women for not electing Dole? Your vengeful and hateful God is not the Jesus who loves me and who every day I pray will bring me closer to His likeness.
