I was amazed looking back at the numbers in that 1972 race. 60. 7 went to Richard Nixon. 37. 5 went to George Mcgovern, so it was that was quite a race, and quite a landslide for Richard Nixon, and the

On faith and healing, but the president came to punch, not to reflect, lashing out at the democratic speaker of the house, who was seated nearby, and at the one republican senator who voted to convict the presidency as a abobetrayal. I dont like people who use their faith as justification for doing what they know is wrong. Nor do i like people who say, i pray for you, when they know that thats not so.
