Rep Westmoreland: Hypocrite or Dimwit?

I have two problems with Representative Lynn Westmoreland. First, his education and intelligence is inadequate to handle the issues facing our country. He can't remember the most basic tenant of his religion, which he himself has said is of utmost importance. There is no way he is capable of understanding a report on the national debt or a bill regarding reforming the complicated banking system and he must knows he is incapable. He is not the best man for this job. Which brings me to my second problem, why was he elected? Why do people vote for representatives that they want to have a beer with instead of people who possess knowledge of the issues that are most important to them like economics- job creation, financial security, stable banking system, availability of loans.

If you believe you can't have morality without religion, but you can't remember the most basic tenants of your religion, what does that mean for your morality...
