I think Jimmy Carter was less hostile to religious people than Giuliani and overall more sincere in his faith. Bottom line: it doesn’t mean much when choosing a President. His beliefs on issues, however, mean a lot. (He fails on most counts)
I agree that it is the issues that matter. To me, hostility towards religion in general, evangelicals in particular, is an issue that would cause me to never vote for the candidate.
Married Carter lusted in his heart.
Married Rudy lusted and porked his mistress on the taxpayers' dime then hid the theft of public services in obscure city agencies. Tax-paid NYPD drivers and cops stood around and watched while Rooty got sexually blitzed by his mistress.
Keep in mind---Rooty's campaign strategy from the getgo was to kick social conservatives and believers to the curb. He and his power-mad liberal handlers wanted complete control of the Repub party.
Rooty's stupid plan was based on the ignorant assumption that conservatives were gonna roll over and play dead.
That ain't happening.
