text: As a grade school child in 1959-60, being a resident of Massachusetts, and being brought up as a Roman Catholic, I distinctly recall all the hullabaloo and bugaboo dire warnings that if JFK were elected...he'd be taking instructions from the Pope as to how to govern.  Not only were democrats poo-pooing this idea as absurd, but time and again went to great lengths to state that his religion was a personal choice and would not have any impact on his ability to govern.  As to the other "complaints" there are many (not only evangelicals) who believe abortion to be murder, LGBT people to be mentally ill, and that marriage is between a man and a woman.  There are many, INCLUDING scientists who would argue "global warming" is not man-made, and when the numbers are "juggled" to show warming trends, it's about money NOT the climate, (especially when in the 4.6 billion year history of earth there have been many warming and cooling cycles.)
  Too bad, I'm out of "characters"!
