Politicians aren't stupid (except for Bush)... but they all know who puts them in office.
Translation: She should lie & deceive in order to get the 'religious' vote which will help her become one of the best leaders (liars) in the world.
Excellent mindset stl!
I take a middle ground. "Faith" is the big buzzword anmongst some circles. She may or may not be truthful, and what politicians are? What she is doing in my opinion is playing to to separate constituencies.
One obviously, is the religious right. The other are those women who have gone through similar marital tribulations. This was a marvelous opportunity to both deflect the entire Lewinsky thing, and to modify her perception as being a hard edged calculator. I am sure that there were women all over America who shook their heads in assent when she spoke those words.
Oh, if I were in her position? I'd do the exact same thing.
But once I was in office I'd be like, "Yeah... ya know... the whole god thing doesn't make a lot of sense to me anymore. Oh, and churches can pay taxes just like the rest of Americans.... Amen."
