His country called and Mike refused to answer.

What, precisely, qualifies football coach/TV commentator Mike Ditka to be a United States Senator? Conservatives need to eschew the "cult of celebrity" that liberals so enthusiastically embrace. A better statement might be: "Their country called, and all the qualified Illinois Republican Congressmen and State Representatives preferred to keep their safe seats rather than answer."

No Person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty Years, and been nine Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen.

It is not a cult as much as a only shot of winning.

We have a senate race that is unopposed and the shoe in right now is a faux christian who is saying the way to be christian is to be a practicing atheist. He is also attacking bush by trying to move from "faith" to atheist.

The DNC is not moving from left to right in politics, they are moving from anti-religious to born again for the cameras.
