That's one of the many reasons why I'm an independent as well. My faith informs my political perspective, but I will not abide any party or candidate who tries to buy my vote with their religious rhetoric. Maybe with cold, hard cash, but not with God-talk ;). - Marcia Ford Tue, 08 Apr 2008 23:37:22 +0100
