I hadn't heard that story. Interesting admission. Does that mean they realize that anyone with any true sense of religious values would have to hate their guy?
This actually operates at several levels.... one is the obvious- the worst slander some of these people can come up with is accusing another of being "right-wing" or "religious." They use 'racist' and 'homophobic' that way, too.... it's believed ( by them, anyway ) to be such a "nuke" that further opposition, debate, or argument is impossible.
On another level, what they are really defending is not clinton, but their support of him- they can't admit they got suckered like the soccer moms did...
And I note that "diminutive motorcade" with some satisfaction.
