Yes, yes, a thousand times, YES. Not that Ross is that great, but Buchannan is just... Ugh. I was EMBARASSED when he won the NH primary in 1996 (or was it 92 when he won it?) I have no problem with the leader of our country having strong religious views--pretty much all of them have. What I have a problem with is when people like Pat take their views and foster them on others--and what better place to be able to do that to the most people then from the Oval Office?

Plus, never mind his religious, anti-gay views. Look at his foregien policy. He proudly advocates a return to isolationism--in a time when isolationism is not only undesireable but IMPOSSIBLE in today's global economy and global marketplace. The man is living in the 50's
