I don't expect politicians to be perfectly honest. If they were, they'd
never get elected. I do, however, expect them to not try to shovel their
religious beliefs down the throats of the populace.

How is a minor state official in a state that you don't live in
shoveling anything down YOUR throat?
You root this stuff out like a wild hog looking for tubers

Why? Because these hypocritical faith-healing religious bigots are like
cancers; they need to be sought out and excised from the commonweal to
prevent them from getting a foothold, spreading and causing damage.

It's bad enough Virginia has an ayatollah named Ken Cuccinelli running
for governor on the Republican ticket.

What the hell does that have to do with your side of the river?

"...hypocritical faith-healing religious bigots are like cancers..."

You know, they spread...like cancers. You get one religious bigot in
office and there will be others. Or they'll run for higher political
office, perhaps Congress. Then they'll be spreading their bigotry and
superstition on national legislation.

Now, I know there have been clergy of many faiths who have served in
Congress. I'm not talking about them, generally, but only the ones who
see as their mission the spreading of hatred. So, I had no objection to
the political life of John Danforth of Missouri, a minister, even though
I was on the opposite side of many of his political positions, such as
support for the least competent Associate Justice, Clarence Thomas.
Danforth isn't a religious bigot.
