I watched the opening of the Republican National Convention the other night and respectfully prayed for the victims and and evacuees of Hurricane Gustav. That's all well and good, but bringing a priest out for a prayer at a convention is not the best example of separation of church and state. But then again, Republicans never really did appreciate that part of the constitution. McCain's wife and Laura Bush also spoke, asking for aid around the country. Then we all heard about Gov. Palin's seventeen year old daughter getting pregnant without a ring to show for it. It seems as though the GOP's code of morals is unraveling, despite their willingness to bring God into the political arena.
