Jim Wallis claims to be bi-partisan, which I don't really buy. I believe he truly thinks that God is not a Democrat or Republican, but I don't think his actions speak this way. I received an email that intended to convince me:

I work hard to maintain my independence and non-partisanship, and didn't want to be perceived as supporting one party over the other.

But I'm really not. I like Wallis, generally. I have much criticism about him, but I would side with Wallis over a conservative Right agenda any day. Nonetheless, I am not convinced that Wallis is truly bi-partisan. He is unrelenting against the GOP and has glorified Senators Obama and Clinton many times.

Yet, if Wallis maintains it, from this point now I will give him the benefit of the doubt. I hope to see him working with solid GOP compassionate conservatives on issues of poverty. That would be a good thing for this country.
