Let’s talk about what Kerry actually said during the debate instead of botox, cheat sheets, etc.

I’ve observed many presidential debates over the years, and I understand that more than substance is considered by commentators, analysts, and voters. But I’ve never witnessed a post-debate situation in which substance has been so minimized. (The fact that the president did not confront Kerry on these statements during the debate is no explanation.) This isn’t the swimsuit portion of the Miss America contest. We’re deciding on the next commander-in-chief in the midst of a war. You’d think substance would be more important than ever.

Kathy Shaidle has a link to liberals sitting in at Christian services to hear if a minister endorses Bush.
Is it McCain-Feingold that is the reason for this? Or is it the tax-exempt status of non-profits? Regardless, no one is questioning non-profits on the other end of the political spectrum. Is it too much to ask the USCCB to demand that the freedoms of religion and speech is protected equally in this country? It seems the freedom of speech is held with a kind of fervor that the freedom of religion is not.
Kathy also has a link to a story on the Deal Hudson issue by Jeremy Lott at The American Spectator.
