This is on Fox News TV. He is being interviewed by Cavuto. Can't find a link yet on Fox's website. Among other things he says religious leaders should stay out of campaigns.

Finally some common sense. This religion hater supports John McCain, whose hatred of religion will improve this country and position it for greater leadership within the world. We must put our faith in elected officials, and John McCain represents the best chance for free this nation from religion. McCain is right. We must destroy religion and McCain is the man to do it.

McCain 2000!!!!

So, what, you want we should turn our constitutional republic into a theocracy? Were you born deaf and blind?

Heard an interesting segment on the Rush Limbaugh show while I was out on my lunch break today. First he ran a clip of McCain saying we need to stop with the personal attacks and focus on the issue.

Then he played a clip from last night's Michael Reagan show, where Michael Reagan asked him his position on a certain issue (unfortunately I can't remember what it was), and McCain interrupted and said that first he felt we need to talk the religious right referring to Warren Rudman as a religious bigot. Reagan said no, he doesn't want to get into that, he wants to discuss these issues. McCain interrupted again and said no, these matters need to be talked about. Reagan tried a few more times to take control of the direction of the interview, and finally hung up on him.

As I understand it, Michael Reagan had been a McCain supporter (I know that the Reagan family doesn't like the Bush family and there had been talk of Nancy endorsing McCain although it didn't happen.) But at this point, Reagan hung up, and repeated a few times, "Good- bye Senator McCain." Then there was the sound of papers being ripped up (wasn't clear within the confines of this clip what the papers were), and he added, "You just lost my vote."

There is a middle ground between theocracy and preventing religious people from participating in the constitutional process same as any other citizens.

Henry,

where is all your money that the London Times said you would take out of the Stock Market before Y2k? That got to be solved before I listen to you!

Hmmmm.

McCain shoots himself in the foot [with Michael Reagan] right before another big key primary.

Seems like even a skilled and well experienced polititian can completely lose his basic sense of timing.

Odd though.

Marcus, maybe the papers torn were the questions Reagan knew he would never get a chance to ask?

Michael Reagan is a nobody...big deal!!! He's just a Dubya wanna be who never had the smarts to get into politics. He uses his dad's name to his best advantage, lame brain talk show host. Now he can say, I'm big bad Michael Reagan, I hung up on John McCain! Go John!!! Super Tuesday is the day the political world gets it's due!!!

And John McLunatic is a war hero who is too chicken*hit to answer a few difficult questions from someone other than his fawning media groupies. Too funny.

Vern, the whole country is hanging up on McCrank one primary at a time.

Come Tueseday, he'll be on a first name basis with his dial tone.

Vern, I don't care WHO the talk show host happened to be. The point is that here is a guy who holds a press conference and says it's time to focus on the issues and not on throwing accusations back and forth, but when finally someone (doesn't matter who) WANTS to talk about where he stands on the issues, he REFUSES, and instead keeps hammering away at how bad the religious right is.

why doesn't Kissinger retire

-- Sir Richard (richard.dale@unum.co.uk), March 02, 2000.

Because you have to be WORKING to retire.
