[QUOTE="O'Rothlain, post: 89582"] I believe that would be since politicians first appeared on television... But hey, you never know. Isn't bush one of those crazily fanatical born again types that takes the word of the Bible literally? If that's the case, then it could very well be genuine, because he probably thinks the election has 'damaged Gods work'. Seriously, no offence to normal Christian people in general, but what is it with the US and fundementalist "I wanna bomb abortion clinics and kill doctors who do stem cell research" christians over there? What a bunch of freaks!
