If that's the case, then how about the drive to get the vote out at churches by Clinton. That's a violation of separation of church and state. Interesting, how one who opposes school vouchers then goes to churches to enlist votes, paying pastors to bus voters to polls.

>Ah, so religious moralizers are better equipped to comment on Presidents than on preachers who can't separate religion from politics? Interesting.<

It is not a matter of being equipped specifically for either. It is a matter of responding to the crisis of a president's moral corruption and his moral corruption of an entire nation. Were Robertson and Falwell to have done the same, these moralizers would likely have responded as they have.

There is nothing inherently corrupt, morally, in mixing religion and politics. There is everything morally corrupt in lying to one's country flagrantly and repeatedly, lying to one's courts flagrantly and repeatedly, and then seducing one's entire nation to accept, even champion this immorality.
