Actually, I don't know that they get a pass, I don't know that they are extremely political, but I do know they are tax exempt. Did you think only predominantly white churches were tax exempt, or was that a rhetorical question? It wasn't rhetorical. I would think they are tax exempt as well, but they are historically political, so you'd think they had to cross this bridge before and perhaps lost that status. Maybe it is because they vote Democrat <g> Brian

Kerry Overtakes Bush In Florida (CPOD) Jul. 11, 2004 â€“ Massachusetts senator John Kerry holds the advantage in the key battleground state of Florida, according to a poll by Rasmussen Reports. 48 per cent of respondents would vote for the prospective Democratic nominee, while 43 per cent would support Republican incumbent George W. Bush. Five per cent of respondents would vote for another candidate, and four per cent remain undecided. The election is scheduled for Nov. 2. The poll yielded inconclusive results in April, when Kerry held a one per cent lead over Bush. In May, both candidates were tied. Last month, support for Kerry increased by two per cent, while backing for Bush dropped by three per cent. Floridaâ€™s 27 electoral votes decided the 2000 presidential election, after weeks of recounts and court injunctions concluded in a 537-vote victory for Bush over Democrat Al Gore. Since 1972, the only Democrats to carry Florida in a presidential election are Jimmy Carter in 1976 and Bill Clinton in 1996.
