Isnt' that what an elected official does?

Oh, poppycock. Anyone with half a brain knows damn well, that any politician (even devout ones) are not going to be bound by the tenets of their religion when performing the duties of their office. If they did, they wouldn't even get close to running for Governor.
Besides the Governor can't ban jack shit. He doesn't make the laws, he can only yea/nay on them, and can still be overridden.
Ok the bottom line is you're saying some or all polititians are hypocritical. What's your point?:p
