If the President gets the job done, then so be it if he/she is uglier than Mikhail Gorbachev.

Sure, to people their personal religious beliefs are important. And sure I think I know who I would want to have over at a BBQ. But we've tried that already, and time after time it gives us the worst politicians imaginable.

Hell, JFK was a playboy, but he was sure as hell one of our country's best presidents. A pool of evidence suggests that, Abe Lincoln, perhaps our very best, was gay.
You are aware, aren't you, that this "pool of evidence" is coming from the aggressive gay-activist camps, aren't you? I mean, I'm sure you WANT to believe that Lincoln was gay, but it sure is interesting how it's just "coming out" now, isn't it?
