same in Philadelphia within hours of each other. I study an issue, seek input, pray, reexamine, and then make my decision. I tell everyone, every where the same thing. I attempt to always "say what I do and do what I say" - that won't be popular!

4. I can't stomach a liar. When I was a child of ten, I would tell the tallest tales and think it fun. Thank God I was caught by family and friends and was publicly humiliated. That did it.

Under girding, this as a Christian and student of scripture, I sense God's contempt for a liar, this because they do much damage. Note Iraq (2003-7) and Haiti (2001-04) - 124,000 dead, another 250,000 maimed, rape, torture, and kidnappings. I have observed over the past six years that in order to be President, evidently, you must be willing to lie endlessly knowing that each time you utter a word thousands die, communities go up in flames, and the integrity of the greatest nation in history is tanked for decades to come.

5. Then there's God. Jesus asked "what price will a man put on his soul, for how much will he sell it?" (Mk. 8:36-37) It is obvious to the entire world that the current President has long passed the "going price" and shall not see the kingdom of Heaven. (Rev. 22:15) Sorry you can keep the job.

For these reasons, I therefore must decline your kind invitation to be your President. George W. Bush leaves behind an office, country, and world far more damaged than my old robe - For God's Sake.
