Mark, <<<Let us start with a person who I think is a great human being, is a devout Christian, does great works, but was a lousy politician. Jimmy Carter. President Carter was a devout Christian( alas his brother Billy fell off the path and it appeared the bar stool, also:-) ) He certainly was a moral man with great conviction and heartfelt beliefs. His work with Habitat for Humanity(my favorite charity) is nothing less than spectacular, IMO. Unfortunately that did not add up to a very effective presidency.>>> I campaigned for Ford and didn't support Carter, but since his presidency have grown to have a great respect for him. His volunteer work, especially with Habitat, has set a great example to all. I'm also a volunteer with our local Habitat chapter and would recommend it to all. There is no more rewarding experience than helping your neighbors. In Christ, Paul

Mark (from Bob), Your coffee does not have to be as strong as you think. I agree fully with your evaluation of Jimmy Carter. Even knowing what kind of a leader he was, I would still vote for him over our current president. Because he was a better leader than Clinton ever will be. I pray for a leader with the character and heart of a Jimmy Carter that has the politcal savvy and international flare of .... dare I say it ... Nixon. Even though I am a registered republican, I understand the mindset of the democrats and agree with it. That mindset is that people should be helped, it's a mindset of mercy. I have two problems with the party: 1. The methods they use 2. They've strayed from the basic goal. Bob PS. I'm not terribly happy with the republicans either. PPS. Don't smash me on Nixon, I fully admit that he had his short comings.
