Maybe because you don't try to understand.

As a Christian who knows many Christians, most of which vote Republican, it's not because they agree with all GOP policies, it's because Christians tend to be one issue voters and that issue is abortion. If you can't understand this, you don't understand Christianity.

This, to an extent. It has more to do with a two party system problem that just can't be resolved unless human behavior changes completely. I'll use the example of the user score on an IMDB page for a movie. Notice how majority of the votes are either 1's or 10's? Why? Well imagine if you saw a movie you think deserves a lower or high score than what is shown, you know a score 2-9 won't make that big of a dent from say extremes like a 1 or a 10.

The same concept of extremes are kind of put into our 2 party system. Back then we had like 13 different political ties but the results were always the same, the same 2 parties would always get the majority of the votes because they are the polar opposites.

So Christians are stuck to pick between 2 parties, both in which they are not going to agree on everything. So what Christians have to do is put a priority list on what they deem as important and vote according to it. Difference is Republicans come to embrace the Christians with their "God and Christianity is #1" mantra. And yes there are others like "church and state should not be seperated", "abortion", "gay marriage", "war on drugs", etc.
