I'm not sure how I feel about him being a Mormon and potentially president.

Especially in the face of religious pressure to believe otherwise.
I'm with you, BE, in that I hate the political system.

That's the thing, all the evangelicals are worried that he doesn't believe in Jesus and won't guide our country in the right way. Which only confirms how uneducated so many people are.
And sadly (to me), he's no longer pro-choice - pressured by the religious right. And I don't know whether it means he'd pick judges that would be fair when it came to Roe v. Wade or if it just means he's wishy-washy and goes against his own beliefs for a vote, which I believe most/all politicians do. You know... "for the greater good."
In terms of the date, I may have misread, simply because I forgot National Lampoon's Vacation being a 1983 release. This very well could have happened recently. No matter the date, it's a reprehensible action, no matter when, though it would have been incredibly foolhardy this close to the primaries. In which case, I'd have to question his intelligence, and lack of intelligent people around him. (While I question Bush's intelligence, he does have some smart people around him guiding him - even if I don't agree with them.)
