then again, maybe i’m nuts. generally i just think about it and go “say *what*?!?”

Polls seem to indicate most folks would rather have an openly gay person in office over an atheist by a wide-margin and we know how popular openly gay politicians are.

I'd vote for you in a heartbeat! All those "Our president was a porn star..." and the "I forgot to pay this..." scandals would keep us all entertained for years! Look at Clinton. We'll be talking about him forever... Who the hell remembers McKinley? Nixon and Clinton, baby! At least it would be the smart way.... unlike our former city council member who was just sent up the river for "teaching two fourteen year old girls how to properly have sex" (his getting one pregnant kinda blew his defense, if you ask me...) First scandal. Then office. Got it? GO KD!!!! Links, the "Love it or leave it" mentality is alive and well in Pennsyl-fucking-tucky. This lady probably felt those damn pesky Indians should have gone back where they came from too! Are you kidding? I’d vote for you in a heartbeat!

We all know that Katherine harris personally drove the bus to the polls that day filled with the seniors from the nursing home and told them to pick the one in the middle ;) *sniff* you guys have no idea how happy i am to know that there are others out there just like me (well, may not JUST like me but you get the idea). i really think if we all make enough noise, someone with a political, but no religious mind, might be brave enough to come forward and try running for office. and enough with the FLA jokes already ;) .

If some of the ones you/I/we complain about can do it, so can you/I/we. Actually - I HAVE run for office and was apparently thought too liberal/conservative/democratic/republican/SOMETHING for the taste of most. the best way to change anything we don't like is to get in there where it counts and make our voices heard. Regardless of never having been elected (well, actually I did win one of the races, but becuase I didn't win with 40% of the vote had to have a runoff and lost then by 32 votes!!!) I STILL attend meetings and speak out on issues I either agree with or disagree with - much to the consternation of the elected. HEH! You can do it, too!!!

You know though, come to think of it, he was always good for a laugh. That's more than you can say about most politicians. I retrospect, I'm going to miss him when it's back to business as usual.
