Rick Santorum: "mainline Protestants aren't real Christians"

It's the double counting that pisses me off.

Ask a Christian public figure how many people they represent and they'll give you the highest possible figure, based on how many people nominate any kind of Christianity in surveys or the census.

Count how many people go to church weekly and actually live their lives by religious rules ... and you can divide the first figure by around 10.

Excuse me I'm confused, which one of those two groups were you wondering about?

Opinion: The movers & shakers running the Republican party are many unpleasant things, but they aren't stupid. They know to win the general election they need a more moderate candidate, but they could put a hard right wacko up for VP to placate the far right base. Santorum, former Senate point-man for K-street, is running for Vice-President.

One group, those who do both of these things.

It is hard to believe that anyone who an get to the top of such a big organisation could be stupid as the current mob appear.

Oh that group... the ones that do fit that group, not the ones that claim to, could all meet in my living room.(18' x 14'

I saw a recent interview with Clinton, where he stated both Romney and Newt are very smart men who know how to play the game.
