“I say the things that I say because I’m a Christian, not because I hate anybody, but because I have religious values that matter to me,” Jackson told reporters at a campaign stop in Fredericksburg. “Attacking me because I hold to those principles is attacking every church-going person, every family that’s living a traditional family life, everybody who believes that we all deserve the right to live. So I don’t have anything to rephrase or apologize for. I would just say people should not paint me as one-dimensional.”
At least he's consistent. No trying to hide his agenda. No trying to backtrack from his statements. He's unapologetic...got to give him credit for that. His statements do raise some questions however. Like attacking him is attacking every church-going person, every family that's living a traditional family life? I'm a church going person....I live a traditional family life....been married to the same person for 36 years, raised three children who are gainfully employed. I don't feel attacked when someone attacks the Reverend Jackson. Some would say, and I'm sure Reverend Jackson is included, that I'm not really a Christian since I don't hold the same beliefs as the religeous right. He says we all deserve the right to live.....I guess he should have added unless you're gay or a democrat.
He may be unapologetic, but he's still wrong in so many ways and so wrong for Virginia.....The percentage of the vote for him in November will give us an indication of how many truly horrible people there are in our state, because they are the only people who could pull a lever marked E. W. Jackson. Do not give this man a political pulpit to spew his hate.
