4. I don't think they have the ability to see your point.
Their faith clouds their judgment on certain subjects.

If there was a poll, "Is faith baiting an acceptable campaign tactic?" I imagine many of the people who cheered the Aqua Buddha ad would vote "No, faith baiting is not an acceptable campaign tactic."

Good try though, you were pretty to clear to me.

5. Vectron wept.
What I see over there is a defect in intellect, namely an inability to sythesize information.

You can see it all the time when it comes to religion, LGBTQ, women's rights, and even obvious cases of institutionalized racism.

7. Yeah, well
It's all about respect. You respect us and we'll respect that you respect us.

And tone. Until we're the Philharmonic of Cooing Noises the Mooneyite weebles around here will never get a decent night's rest.

Kay Hagan erupted in anger Thursday over a television ad from Sen. Elizabeth Dole suggesting Hagan is "godless."

"I think Elizabeth Dole has just gone to the lowest of the lows," Hagan said of the ad during an appearance on a talk show on WPTF-AM in Raleigh, North Carolina. "This is an attack on my Christian faith."

Hagan, who described herself as a Sunday school teacher and an elder at a Presbyterian church in Greensboro, North Carolina, urged Dole to "pull this kind of despicable ad."

Republican Sen. Elizabeth Dole is being sued for defamation and libel by Kay Hagan, her Democratic Senate challenger, for broadcasting a television ad which, in the words of Hagan's legal action, "falsely implies" that Hagan shares the views of an entity that calls itself the Godless Americans PAC.
