Q. Given the platform and positions taken by the Democratic Party, can you be a good church member and a Democrat?
A. Yes, I think so. I don't know why you couldn't. It depends on what you believe as a Democrat in terms of some things. There are some things we don't subscribe to. We've got lots of Democrats in the church, lots of them, and they are good people. I don't worry about that too much.
