Date: 2006-01-06 08:50 pm (UTC)Don't be silly, hun. He still gets press because he makes these outrageous statements that make great sensationalist press.
Twenty years ago, when he was running for president, he stated that he believed that only Christians - and Jews, added as an afterthought - should be allowed to run for public office because they are the only ones guided by the god of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob.
He's been at this for decades.
