Dog is my Co-Pilot

I have to admit, as someone who was raised Catholic, that I'm confused by Catholics who support Bush (whose base is evangelical Christians--the same groups who often slam Catholics from the pulpit--or, in the small town I grew up in, even maligning them on public radio programs). Wouldn't a leader who shares their faith perhaps cast a more positive light on Catholics, who--after the abuse scandals--could use more postive PR, such as a national leader who shares their belief system? Even creepier is this story from the Boston Globe:

"The GOP has been pursuing a controversial program of asking church members to provide membership lists in an effort to register more churchgoers, whom the party believes are more likely to support President Bush."

I like this quote from Ron Reagan, Jr.:

"People who believe they are acting with the mandate of God, who see others who don't share their beliefs as inferior in the eyes of God, make dangerous leaders. Just ask Osama Bin Laden."
