Say whaaaat? What did you think I was saying again? You did not read that
part of the new testament about Jesus and the little children? But my point
was that Bush sees what he is doing as a Christian act. And the people he's
appealing to for votes see it the same way. Whether you think Jesus
actually said anything about that or not is irrelevant. If the people using
the issue think it's so that's all that matters as far as what I'm talking
about.
