[QUOTE=Frank]  
Faith based does not have to automatically equal religious right, though that’s become the accepted connection lately. If you’ll recall, large segments of the struggle against slavery, against the death penalty, for civil rights, etc., were and/or are faith based.

That said, I’ll be as leery about government support for left-wing faith based organizations as I am for the ones on the right.

I am in agreement with you.

Maybe we need a town-hall style debate between 2000 McCain and 2008 McCain.

(Oh, and the Google ad I’m getting for this thread is titled: “Find Lesbian Singles”. 😛 )
