They still matter (and McCain spoke there, too).

It just doesn't matter to the radical right who doesn't care about separation of church and state

Amazing, isn't it?

Except when the wingnuts write "flashback", it probably came from Drudge.

Which means what?

I hate it when a site compiles a variety of information from a variety of sources and makes it available to the public.

Damn freedom of speech!

Why does it bother you so much, he got elected didn't he?

We'll see. My fingers are crossed. Word is McCain will outspend Obama by 10 million this weekend and an independent group will spend over 6 million on Rev. Wright ads for next three days. McCain campaign has also made 5 million targeted get out the vote calls in past week - five times as many as Bush did in last week of 2004.
