Represent us more fairly...

My friend Brandon has a must read post that does a good job conveying some thoughts that I've been mulling over lately...

Here's an excerpt:

Since the last election, when they appeared in force, Evangelical leaders have continued to be the interest of Larry King, the focus of CNN specials, the subjects of Time Magazine, and the drive of the blogosophere—all-in-all, a good year for getting press. But I’m not one who believes that there is no such thing as bad press, and usually that is because bad press is preceded by the names Robertson or Falwell. I’m not sure why these men and others like them continue to represent evangelicals. Like a Democrat sporting the bumper sticker, “He’s not my president,” every time Robertson makes the news, I feel like shouting from the rooftops, “He does not represent me!” And despite so many good candidates, even Time Magazine’s list doesn’t seem to grasp what it means to be evangelical. It captures some of the movers and shakers, but it also includes names that do not belong even among the most liberal among Evangelicals.
