Lisa - The last time radical Christians stepped in to set government policy, they created prohibiion. So began the underground, the speak easy, Al Capone. It also was a huge blow to farmers who grew the grain, everyone who owned or worked in a bar was out of a job, glassworkers, bottling factories, truckers... The ripple effect was a major contributor to the great depression.

No thanks, we can do without the self righteous rhetoric.

Oh, and I believe most of our forefathers were Deitists, and since they allowed slavery, I really don't think they were too worried about undo suffering.

Jim - Since you brought it up.. McCain was already admonished by the Senate years ago for his role in the Savings and Loan scandal. He and Keating were good pals and he was found guilty. How quickly we forget. Why do you think he changed his stripes now? Same scandal, same players, different generation.
