My point was to illustrate just that.

People with moral beliefs would think otherwise.

I have a difference in opinions, but I also must respect with people write.
We can debate & argue, but shouldnt state that their remarks/questions/statements are idiotic or stupid.
To make such a remark is an oxymoron.

This is the problem, we are letting the media bombard us with silliness under the impression that one can actually make a judgment about the presidential ability of someone based on what finger he or she scratches his or her face with. No, you can't do that, it is intellectually dishonest, and you know it.

This is exactly what the problem is with whatever the hell is passing for journalism these days.

I'm sure it was done way before that.

If it was his intention, then I'm surprised he did it before getting voted in.
