rfunk | More Republicans for Kerry

Yesterday we drove over an hour south through rural Tuscarawas and Cochocton counties -- the northern edge of Appalachia. And though we saw plenty of Bush-Cheney signs, we were pleased to see a lot of Kerry-Edwards signs too. But even better, there was a big sign up aimed toward the freeway:
Republicans For Kerry 04 .org

And that's apparently a different group from RepublicansForKerry.org!

And now we have prominent Kentucky Republicans publicly explaining why they're against Bush and for Kerry: "Bush goes against values I treasure"

These are probably the sort of conservatives, all too rare these days, that still remember that Jesus primarily preached for peace, against violence, for the poor, against wealth, and for the marginalized people of society. I'm not a Christian but I share those values with them. It amazes me when I see people claiming to be Christians going against those values.

Update: Wow. The NY Times has an amazing portrait of Bush's faith-based presidency. (The Kerry version was last week.)
