The most influential and powerful members of a political party are most likely to be found inside the national party level of the party and at its highest levels. If the President of the United States is from one particular party they are considered the head of the political party nationally making them the most powerful member of the party.
When Jesus said "love your neighbor as yourself," his message was that you should treat people how you want to be treated. In other words don't steal if you don't want to be stolen from.
