"How we doing after 8 years of 'Born Again Bushie'?"

Attempting to use the term "Born-Again" as an implied derogatory slam is not very becoming. That's a comment I would expect to hear over at DUmmies or on back-bencher Boortz's show (one reason I don't listen anymore).

I would not vote for an atheist because, as another poster alluded to, our policies would not be the same. It's a hypothetical that is impossible.

Politics is not the same as religion. Someone with another religion can have the same politics as you. Someone with NO religion can have the same politics as you. Someone with a different God can have the same politics as you. Without saying what my religion is (if any - :P), I am just as conservative as you, if not more so. Don't be so judgmental.

I personally laugh at the term, born again, and it is used as a term by people who identify themselves as true believers.

The other poster described it as scraping the bottom of the barrel in considering an atheist for office. And I can rightly point to believers who screwed the pooch while holding office.
