sorry JD, but it's not contempt for those who are openly religious, more for those who allow their political decisions to be led by outside forces, be it religious or not, a person is voted in because there is confidence in that person and not their religious preferences, or how easily they allow themselves to be swayed to another countries policies

I don't see any recognition here by the left-ward leaning of the significance of Bush's having appointed the most diverse cabinet in American history! Could that be because women and men of non-caucasian backgrounds who have the "wrong" political views don't count for Democrats who didn't get to appoint them?

Maybe it has something to do with their... political leanings... Shocking. Now what was that about condoning torture?

I see, IR, diversity is only good if it fits YOUR ideology. Very, ummm, democratic of you. So if the Democrats had authorized torture, as in say, WWII or Korea or Vietnam, it would be acceptable?
