2. Why Develop Scruples at Such a Late Date?
The ends justify the means, don't they? :sarcasm:

5. The media will--if it hurts him, it's kinda sad, but I'm not going to
raise a stink. Hopefully she wouldn't have to go there.

7. Expect Romney to Swiftboat them on Religion, like Obama's done on Race.
The tactics being used by Obama are disgusting.

15. Well, wasn't it hillary that said this?
And I have become accustomed over the past year to
living between those kinds of poles and trying as best I can
to navigate what is for many of us uncharted terrain.
Because as my husband said this morning, freedom of religion
does not mean, and should not mean, freedom from religion.
And striking the appropriate balance, and being able to
witness in a public role what one feels and lives through
one's own spiritual journey, opens one up to misunderstanding
and criticism.

But it is my very firm conviction that there is a
growing awareness of the need for a spiritual renewal in our
country and a willingness on the part of many to act and work
in good faith together to fill that sense of emptiness with
the Word and with an outreach that is grounded in real
Christian values.

16. Have you ever personally dealt with a Morman man?
One of my son's best friends is a Morman, who cannot stand his own Morman father. He came to our house once to complain about a movie that was played while his son was here. Every time I tried to speak to him, he would ignore me, but his face kept getting redder and redder. Finally, he blurted out to my husband: "Man, control your wife! She should not be speaking to a man she isn't married to!"
My husband laughed and said: "Control my wife? Yeah, good luck with that. Don't be too afraid of her, she doesn't bite...hard."
He left in a huff.
We laughed for hours.
