The idiot who authored the email questioning

[rateyes]

Bernie's faith needs to go away, too. Anyone involved in that kind of strategy needs to exit now.

1. +1000

4. Strong repudiation is needed from all quarters on that one, that guy basically offered to

toss minority candidates to bigots as a casual tactic. The Southern Baptists he called his 'peeps' also hate LGBT, meaning he'd use that information against an LGBT candidate, he'd smear us to his 'peeps' to advance his own agenda. That's beyond the unacceptable. He showed a side of this Party I did not believe existed and it is not at all ok.

[rateyes]

5. Yep.

11. not all Southern Baptists hate gays

Carter was a Southern Baptist as was Gore. That said, the man who authored the email does need to go.

[Warren DeMontague]

6. Atheists? EWWWWWWW!

Pretty fucking obnoxious, I agree.

[sarae]

7. That's the funny part...

Bernie being an atheist would have been a big plus in my book. This country is way too zealous about religion.

8. Article Six...

The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.

12. that doesn't mean that voters can't and won't take it into account

I, for one, have a harder time voting for people who's faiths are intolerant of gays than for other candidates. I am surely applying a religious test. Voters have that right.

13. At least he wasn't accused of being a scientologist

14. after the HBO documentary I watched about them

I would frankly find myself incapable of voting for one. That cult is down right dangerous.

[andym]

9. Yes, bad behavior should not be tolerated. nt.

[glennward]

10. I agree with that entirely. The rest is pure bunk. nt

[runaway hero]

15. just shameless.
