Raymond Flynn was U.S. Ambassador to the Vatican under President Bill Clinton and, before that, Mayor of Boston. In recent years, the lifelong Democrat has been an advocate for the poor and for social conservative causes, which has sometimes put him at odds with his own party. He backed Mitt Romney for governor of Massachusetts and George W. Bush for president in 2000, telling the Boston Globe, “I didn't leave the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party left me." God-o-Meter contacted Flynn after reading a news item that mentioned he appeared at a Pennsylvania event for Hillary Clinton in the run-up to this week’s primary there.

1. I can't stand Flynn.

He gets worse with each passing year. I'm not holding him against Hillary as she can't control who does or doesn't back her, just saying I think he's a shmuck. :)

[davidinalameda]

3. have you ever been on beliefnet?

[PBS Poll-435]

5. If you say so....

"How to Affair-Proof your Marriage"

Especially ironic that they are hocking Prevacid on the front page!

8. and "affair-proofing" your marriage would be a bad thing?

[PBS Poll-435]

9. I don't ever remember that being a problem that needed "Prevention"

[davidinalameda]

11. affairs aren't a problem?

what's the divorce rate now

something like 50%?

maybe it people took steps to make sure that their marriages worked, the rate wouldn't be so high

12. Beliefnet is "fundy"?

:rofl:

Either you have no idea what a fundamentalist is, or you are not familiar with Beliefnet. If anything, it has a "religious left" (Jim Walls, Amy Sullivan, et al) tint.

10. I'm surprised he's not backing McCain. Flynn isn't a bad guy. nm
