MyQuest: A Former Republican Against Bush

Ultimately, for me, the election of 2004 is not merely a matter of policy. I find it impossible to imagine how a “good” Republican or a “good” conservative could support this administration for re-election. But what I cannot imagine is how anyone who claims to be a disciple of Jesus of Christ could vote for George W. Bush. I will borrow the apocalyptic hyperbole of this administration. The choice in 2004 is a choice for evil or a choice to resist evil.

Amen Scott. about it taking 10 years to persuade you, I might surmise it may have helped to have been under Bush in Texas and getting a 6 year head start on seeing what he can accomplish (and tear down, and funnel to the top-dogs). Don’t think I also don’t give credit to some honest, faithful, Baptist upbringing and an atmosphere conducive to honest spirituality. That used to be more prevalent in the Southern Baptist Church. Now it is a rarity, expecially since so many of the people who want to follow Christ without hindrance have joined CBF Churches, or other denominations.

Thanks for the post Scott.
