I understood your analogy,(a jew at a Nazis party or a Yankee fan at Fenway – also work)
I wanted to remind people of the Byrd=Klan connection…where’s the outrage?!
End of line…

Both major political parties visit churches to garner support. How many times have we seen a Clinton in a Harlem church? Parties candidates go to churchs an pray with many different congregations – anything for a vote and money.
People also made a big deal about John F. Kennedy being Roman Catholic, and he was a democrat. He quoted God also, I don’t think he tried to convert anybody
Whenever Bush mentions something about God, I’ve tune it out. Because it means nothing to me. But I know that to many people, it means a lot.
We have “Freedom <i>of</i> religion” not “Freedom <i>from</i> religion”. The separation of church and state is still in effect – or are you saying that people can’t talk about their god whom ever it maybe? There’s no way Congress would pass a law that says we all have to Christian. Checks and balances work. If the president asks you to pray for the soldiers or Columbia astronauts, you don’t have to pray. He asks you, not tells you.

Please, just stop talking… If religion was all that mattered to people about political parties would 90% of blacks vote for Democrats? Don’t they both pray from the same book? Don’t they both go to church on Sundays?
For the <b>majority</b> of conservatives i know (and in my business i know lots) – its lower taxes, stronger foreign policy. If you join a party based on religion – then you really are a sheep.
