Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, Ted Kennedy and of course John Kerry. Then there is Andrew Card and of course babling Mitt. I don't know if Andrew Card and Mitt Romney originaly come from Massachusetts, but they live there now and embarass the people there. I don't even live in Massachusetts, I live in Iowa and they embarass me. ! Some great men have come from Massachusetts,

What has happened to the cherrished principle of the seperation of church and state? The right wing evangelics have wrecked our entire political process. Their religious furfor has caused AIDS funding to be cut due to their insistance that family planning must be incorporated. Church groups receive millions of dollars from Christian fundamentalists (the Republican core) to promote absistence only. Under President Bush (aka "The Decider') evangelics have blocked the teaching of evolution, obstructed needed stem cell research, and have actually declared that Bush's election (theft) was ordained by God. Some may argue that Jimmy Carter was a weak President. Although he himself was a Baptist minister, he possesed a fervent commitment to the seperation of church and state! In his eloquent book, "Our Endangered Values" he shows that he abhores the concept of partisan church congregations getting involved in partisan politics. When taking the oath or office the President swears to, "preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States", not the King James version of the Bible. In his book Carter states, "I was careful to seperate my official status as president from the private worship habits of my family," A good president should be aware that he has been elected to serve ALL the people. He must have an inclusive mind set in knowing that he is the president of ALL Americans. (Jews, Muslims, Christians, blacks, whites, Mormons, straights and gays) President Carter accurately stated that," Republicans have transformed their party into a political arm of the Conservative Christians." Wake up America or our cherrished democracy will soon become a theocracy!!! Buzz It is a disgrace that presidential candidates now have to undergo faith based scrutiny to win.
