Campolo cam eunder fire from conservatives for this (which seems a bit ridiculous, even if they doubt Clinton's sincerity.....someone like Campolo woudl be a good influence)....but Campolo talked long with Clinton about this. My suspicion is that the Democrats wouldn't allow him to speak openly about this, since sadly, they seem to be more sensitive to the suspicions and cynicism of many liberals or moderates about the "Religious Right".</p><p>BTW, I tried a MT 3 upgrade, whcih didn't break my blog, except that I can't login anymore, and therefore add any new posts, so I'm using my dotText blog at &lt;a href="<a href="http://blogs.theoblogical.org/blog" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://blogs.theoblogical.org/blog">http://blogs.theoblogical.o...</a>"&gt;<a href="http://blogs.theoblogical.org/blog</a>" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://blogs.theoblogical.org/blog</a>">http://blogs.theoblogical.o...</a></p>DaleSun, 06 Jun 2004 08:27:20 -0000http://www.djchuang.com/2004/passion-for-compassion/#comment-2184586<p>thanks DJ for showing another side of American politics and the complexity we all seem to live in</p>sivinkitTue, 01 Jun 2004 17:19:24 -0000
