"as has been noted, anybody truly strongly against organized religion would be strongly against McCain/ Palin"

Not necessarily. He would definitely be strongly against their specific beliefs and utterances regarding religion (and he is), while in a more general sense he might still support their campaign over Obama's for a host of other reasons that seemed relevant to him...given the fact that religion is simply NOT the ONLY issue in this campaign!

In other words, Ron, if he was an instrument capable of playing only 1 note, then he would have to abide by the fractured sense of logic you are attempting to bring to the discussion. But he's not... ;-) He is an instrument that can play many different notes. And this election is not just about religion. ;-)

To admit this would deprive you of the joy of calling him a hypocrite, and that is why you won't admit it. It would interfere with the fun you have captaining the "Sneers 'r Us" team.

Challenge Rig on a REAL basis, Ron. God knows, there is plenty of real basis on which to challenge him.
