the new york times > washington > frist set to use religious stage on judicial issue

As the Senate heads toward a showdown over the rules governing judicial confirmations, Senator Bill Frist, the majority leader, has agreed to join a handful of prominent Christian conservatives in a telecast portraying Democrats as "against people of faith" for blocking President Bush's nominees.

i hate being lumped in with the people involved with this. why is it that conservative CHRISTians can be such incredible pains? i'm conservative in the majority of my believes and i really despise being associated with these lunatics simply by association of beliefs. why can't we just calling these actions what they are ... politics!

pure and simply that's what they are. one party is trying to gain power over another party. it's happened since the creation of our country. getting bush's judges appointed is not a "holy war". it's not a battle that is going to save faith in america. in fact, CHRISTian faith has nothing to do with wether these judges get into office or not. so can we please quite acting like it does?
