Quote by: Isherwood  Too bad all the candidates feel the need to pander to the religious. Why can't we have a ballsy candidate who answers, "Why do you need to know about my faith? I'm not running for Pope." |
Because the president is elected by the majority and people who don't care about faith are still a minority.
Hillary seemed to hint the reason Kerry and Gore lost was because they failed to show they were religious enough :
"We had two very good men, and men of faith, run for president in 2000 and 2004," she said, referring to Al Gore and John Kerry. "But large segments of the electorate concluded that they did not really understand, or relate to, or frankly respect their ways of life."
