Now Pat Robertson has expressed concerns about the Faith-based initiative program. These little problems keep popping up. As W has prior experience with FB programs, you'd think he'd have at least considered some of these issues a little more carefully. Its almost as if there's another agenda running here.

Re: Politicians who were fooling around. I thought Eisenhower had a mistress?

And I'm not sure Kennedy counts as a democrat. Eleanor Roosevelt looked at him as a DINO.

Skeptic - Yeah, Jesse Jackson has put himself up there on the pedestal and deserves whatever you want to sling at him. He has been a disappointment as a human being. But that still shouldn't negate the good that he's done.

Or negate the issues he raises. The problem is that all to many link people like Jesse to the underlying issues and problems and do the intellectual shorthand of ignoring the reality of problems because they've discredited the "leader". It's distracting from the real issues.
