o'donnel: i dabbled in withcraft

[BenBurch]

or dabble with drunk driving like George W. Bush.

I liked it better when he dabbled in going AWOL.

I guess I see a difference between dabbling in witchcraft in highschool and more-than-dabbling in communism and socialism in college ... and afterwords.

You're always good for a laugh. Thanks!

Religious bigotry is not rational.

It is bigoted to suggest someone who believes in the tales of Hubbard is somewhat not rational?

I believe in balanced budgets, small government, low taxes and a strong national defense. If a candidate believes these same things I do, and actually delivers if elected, then I will vote for that person.

Any other beliefs, be they that the Son of God was a transatlantic tourist, or that the spirits of dead aliens make us have bad thoughts or even that Edward is the best choice for Bella, have little to do with his political objectives.

It's very difficult to find someone who believes in what Joseph Smith and/or L Ron Hubbard had to say rational.

I think it was Penn & Teller that said we all got some Juju. I'd say that as long as someone can keep whatever irrational beliefs separate from their business, they can perform in a rational way.

Well at least she didn't "dabble" in cocaine, like Obama did (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/01/02/AR2007010201359.html ).

Or speak with the dead, like Hillary (http://edition.cnn.com/US/9606/22/hillary.book/index.html ).

Or "dabble" in socialism and communism, like both of them did.

Or marry a witch like Bill Clinton did.

Yes and no. Anybody who accepts any faith does so based on something other than rationality. That does not neccesarily preclude them from applying reason to other decisions (such as political) that they make. To assume that it does is a mild form of religious bigotry.
