I'll respond to the democrat thing, since that's the platform I identify the most with:

Those principles are certainly present in the Bible, and I'm sure that some politicians use them as justification for social programs, but in order to make a case, I think you'd need to prove that religious principles are the sole - or even the most important - driving force behind social programs. I don't think they are, and I think you'd have a hard time convincing people that the only good reason to take care of homeless people is because God says to.
