80. Hillary's sermon at Rick Warren's Saddleback Church was a peach. All about how great Rick is

and how those gays were whiny when they were protesting ant gay Churches during the early AIDS days, Hillary spoke of herself and Rick as 'we' and gay people as 'they' and said 'we let fear control us' to excuse their vile treatment of their neighbors. It is the speech that made me not want to vote for her then.

You have standards that are not consistent.
