Can Chris Christie be the Republican Bill Clinton? By: Rich Lowry

Exactly, Relic!    And it doesn't translate that we're "anti-religion" or anything like that.

I cherish my growing up Catholic and having a Jesuit education.

But leave the bible with your coat in the coatroom when it comes to winning elections in today's USA.

If one is a Christian......a true Christ-follower.......... the teachings of Jesus are inside you, and radiate from you.

You can no more discard them than fly to the moon (without a spaceship).

What you are asking is that Christians running for political office deny the very essence of who they are.

That, my friend, aside from being impossible, is the precise opposite of what this country needs.

Which explains why he isn't a Democrat! People who hold such views are decidedly unwelcome in that party these days!

Unwelcome???

They're tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail.

You cannot be a national Democrat candidate and have a shred of respect for the unborn.  You will be accused of hating women and be told to get lost.....

Thank you, sir!

That would seem to me to be decidedly unwelcome but perhaps I should have said ...will not be tolerated instead.

That's OK, Bigun. I appreciated your understatement.
