Why does anyone expect anything resembling honesty from politicians in general and Democrats in particular? Going back to the 70’s when what’s-his-name from the Nixon administration had a jail house rebirth of faith (I think he was and is sincere), publicly claiming faith has become just another false front.
Alternately, could the lady, despite her faith, understand that while we are faith based, ultimately, our laws must be secular?
She’s a politician, she’s a Democrat, who really cares? The only relevant question is how to get her and most of the current crop of Democrats out of office.
OK, there’s 3 cheap shots - have at.

Here’s an idea. Instead of dividing up our leaders and trying to mix and match our leaders with the people of a certain area, in which nobody is really happy. How about Making certain states have their own custom rules and leaders. For example, State A caters to strict Conservatives, State B to Liberals, State C to conservatives that still want abortions, State D that has democratic views but believes in supporting the 2nd amendment. Hell, make a state for athiests while were at it. The list can go on and on and mix and match liberal/conservative or religeous rights etc. rules so that everyone has a state that will fit the bill on their beliefs. Then you hire the leaders that support the beliefs of that state. No changing the rules and no coming to that state and trying to impose your views on everyone already living there. The rules are set and you accept the rules or move to another state. I match up my beliefs with the state that supports that and move there.
Seems like a good idea, but I am sure someone could point out flaws in my thinking. It is just that we are trying to make an entire country of individuals all fit into one set of rules. It’s not working. You can not make a hole that fits every shaped peg that exists. So why not create different holes to choose from and the pegs can go where they fit. (does that analogy make sense?).
Just an idea.
Sdkar, if we hadn’t trashed the whole concept of “States Rights” and started ignoring the Tenth Amendmendment way back when, your concept is close to what the Founding Fathers envisioned. The original concept was to leave most of the power in the hands of the people and their respective States and the federal government only acting as a mediator between the States and protector of the whole.
The Federalists immediately started tearing us away from this “distributed authority” concept, the Civil War ripped it to shreds and the XVIIth Amendment buried it for good.
From that day on, all power effectively resides in Washington which is doing its best to make everyone alike and obedient.
Read “The Federalist Papers” and “The Anti-Federalist Papers” and compare to what happened after those men debated the issue for more on how a great concept went wrong.
McCaskill was elected Missouri State Auditor in November 2003. She spend 2004 campaigning for governor, which she lost and she spent 2006 campaigning for the US Senate in which the cities of St. Louis and Kansas City elected her; she lost big in rural Missouri. Since January 2004, the People of Missouri only got one years worth of work out of her.
Bob, to make matters worse - after winning the 2006 election she declined to travel to Washington and attend the freshman Senators’ training and education sessions and instead she and her husband jetted off to the South Pacific for two months. So she arrived in Washington in January without a clue and hasn’t done a damn thing since.
It was all over the papers here in St. Louis at the time and even her supporters were a little ticked. If a Republican had acted like that it would have been on “60 Minutes” within hours.
Now, instead of an experienced Senator (Jim Talent) pulling for us in Washington, we have a clueless, career politician who will be spending the next six years doing nothing but laying the groundwork (and collecting bribes from lobbyists) in order to get re-elected again and again.
Sort of an ugly, female version of John Kerry.
Idiot Bitch!
She kinda looks like Angela Lansbury....posessed by a demon....who just ran out of crack....
