heidiIn the past three days, I have explained to someone on the TLC comments zone that Jefferson was not a "Christian", at least not in the way the term is currently used, but a Deist - said someonedid not know what a Deist was.
I explained to someone else that under the Clinton administration, children were not expelled from schools - and in fact, could not be expelled from schnools, for praying privately before lunch or a test. Said someone believed that W had put that into law at the start of 2001.
I have pointed out to yet another person that FOX news presents its staff with daily position papers that mandate how issues are to be covered, and that those position papers iunvariably take the side of the administration.
You know, there are very understandable reasons for someone to vote for George Bush.
If you firmly believe that God talks through him, as he said in a speech to the Amish earlier this month, vote for him. If you agree with his position on abortion, vote for him. If you think that doctors and scientists should be barred from attending conferences because of their political beliefs, vote for him. Vote for him because you'd rather have lower taxes than funding to protect ports from serving as a way for WMDs to enter the country.
Go right ahead. But don't vote for him because you believe things that are not true.
