I'm from Nashville.

I'm an Evangelical Christian.

I'm white.

I'm a man.

I like women. (Although I am happily married and I think one wife is enough for a lifetime.)

I ought to be going GAGA over Sarah Palin and John McCain, right?

Except for one thing...

I believe in supporting politicians who tell the truth.

I believe in supporting politicians who care for the poor, the disenfranchised, and the oppressed.

I believe in supporting religious LIBERTY, not enforcing some Christian version of Sharia law.

I believe in God. I don't trust my government or my military to win victories in the "war on terror". I trust in God.

I believe in peace - a peace that can't be created by military might or threats of nuclear attack. Fighting wars for peace is like raping for virginity.

I believe in protecting God's creation - and I pay attention to science, not just biblical teaching.

I believe in promoting healthy families - not just with prohibitions of sex education and abortion and homosexual marriage. I believe in promoting healthy families with family-friendly policies that protect workers, provide an honest wage for an honest day's work, and support parents in raising their kids.

I believe in the Constitution of the United States. I actually think that we SHOULD protect the rights of habeus corpus for those who are imprisoned, because I know that governments lie, fail, and change.

I believe that we should pay our bills and balance our budget, instead of leaving trillions of dollars in debt for my children and grandchildren.

I am an Evangelical Christian. I love the Lord. I worship an awesome God.

I endorse Barack Obama for president.
