Little Hawk, among the many things I read Rig saying since he was in the tank for Hillary and Hillary was defeated, was that he would support MCCain/Palin as a protest against religion in politics, I think it was because She was more open about it than Obama.

I wouldn't call that hypocritical per se. But I might think it unwise. Ron does have a justification to call him on it given Rigs stated position. But hypocrite dies seem a bit strong.

If I may make and observation on Rig's position, I would say that he has been consistently ABO (Anybody But Obama) and was against Obama before the announced support of Faith Based Social Services. That was just one more feature of Obama that he could complain about. Obviously if religiousness influencing Presidential behavior was his primary concern then the logical choice would be anybody but Palin. But his long standing dislike of Obama is somehow over coming that seemingly logical point of view.

Rig,
Outside of your position on Obama, You seem to have a lot in common with Bill Maher.
Are you a fan? Do you plan to see his new movie?
