The common ground thing can be important when you consider the Deity of Christ.

With that approach, Lieberman should be eliminated from political leadership, and Jefferson should never have been president. Jefferson was a deist, that is, among other things, he believed in the principles Christ taught, but didn’t believe in the divinity of Christ. It is wonder the Republic survived him.

***He’s a democrat, so I would have no trouble with that.

and Jefferson should never have been president. Jefferson was a deist, that is, among other things, he believed in the principles Christ taught, but didn’t believe in the divinity of Christ.
***Assuming what you say is correct, then I probably would have had the same trouble with Jefferson at the time.

It is wonder the Republic survived him.
***He was one of the strangest presidents, who seemed to be at his best when he violated his own standards. But, we’re not talking about Jefferson, we’re talking about Mitt, who believes in a cult religion and that is enough to knock him out of consideration for me during the primaries.
