I can see it now, "Hello good christian folk, if you make me president, I guarantee men and men will be getting married in your church", "Howdy americans, vote for me, and I will end the war on terror, and will not allow america to attack unless the UN says so, in fact, even if america is attacked, as president, I will show more compassion and work with the french for there permission before giving an appropriate response.....like a stern talking to".
