Thanks for posting! Take a lot at this one!

[PhiKapMom]

Should have said Take a Look at this one!

[Miss Marple]

Pinging a few friends!

[deport]

Thanks..... He seems to be able to reach across varied audiences and be accepted by them.

[Deport Billary]

Following Bush's address, Merritt noted that even though Bush may be a Methodist, "He's the closest thing we've had to a Southern Baptist [president] in a long time

Nice jab at BJ Clinton there

[PhiKapMom]

I liked the last sentence -- seems the SBC doesn't want anything to do with the last guy that was President!

Thanks for the ping, George W. Bush is at his best when he speaks to faith based groups, No matter what political disagreements people have with George W. Bush, most will say he is a good and decent man. Tonight I caught a clip of an interview with George's first love before Laura and she had nothing but nice things to say about him, I missed most of it but my mother-in-law filled me in on the details. That's a far cry from the interviews of X42's ex-girlfriends.

I must tip my hat to you, You definately know how to make a thread interesting with your links to related stories. We have "The King of Ping" JohnHaung2, and we have "The King of Links" deport.

much appreciated<

Baptist? He's the closest thing to a Christian in 8 years!

[deport]

Thanks.... I just do a little 'googling' to see what I find when something peaks my interest.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

How come "Satanists" isn't listed? Well then, what were the Clintons and Ghore?

[deport]

Clinton is one of the four Baptist...... all the Baptist have occurred since 1920. Gore, I have no idea as this list is Presidents.

[Texasforever]

Gore is a lactating Wiccan.

[deport]

LOL.......

[RedBloodedAmerican]

I think CLinton listed as a Baptist just to be listed. Even Anton Levay went to church.

[MJY1288]

Thank God Gore isn't on that list, but if he was he would be listed as a Buddhist :-)
