Iowan, you brought this subject up. If you had examples of my prior outrage about Republicans and Republicans only throwing out godspeak for the rubes, you would have cited them. I've always been consistent: it's not a good idea, it reflects poorly on the speaker, the listener, and the US, and I don't like it--no matter who does it. None of these clowns was elected Preacher-in-Chief. You're the guy doing the flip-out here, and it came from nowhere. Maybe you're jealous that Obama is doing your schtick better than you. Take notes.

I guess you're going to continue to avoid the issue of the difference between rhetoric and actual "God told me to do it" decisionmaking.

Too bad we missed out on Mormon preaching from the bully pulpit. That might have been at least interesting.
