68. I'm personally looking for a civic leader who doesn't need to refer to religion. EVER.

I don't care what you pray for in private, or if you never pray for anything, but I don't want to hear about it.

You're a civic leader, not a nun. Not the Pope.

Ugh this pandering from all candidates on all sides to the religiously insane is making me want the revolution to start already.
Enough of this "we're holier than you are" shit.

Just. Enough.
