Frankly, I don't think he gives a hoot whether Wicca is a religion or not, he just wants to get elected.  And Witches are certainly not a swing vote.  *p*Searles wrote,*br*: I don't know if he made a specific reeference to Wicca or *br*: not in signing the bill (probably not).  The gist of my *br*: previous remarks was that he probably does know that Wicca *br*: is a religion but tried to obscure any potential political *br*: harm to himself or his campaign by misdirecting the *br*: questioning with his "didn't know it was a *br*: religion" remarks.  I'm certain that the thousands of *br*: e-mails, faxes and letters that his office has received on *br*: the matter has cleared up any uncertainty he may have *br*: entertained in the matter.*br*:*br*: If he applies religious freedom in a selective manner, let *br*: it be discovered early in his campaign as this definitely *br*: would preclude him from being a contender for President of *br*: *ALL* the people.*br*:*br*: Searles*br*:*br*: *br*: Jenny wrote,*br*: : *br*: <snip>*br*: :*br*: : But did he?  Did Bush make any reference to Wicca or other *br*: : Pagan religions?*br*: :*br*: <snip>*br*:*br*:  The fact that Bush *br*: : says we're not a religion does seem to imply that he doesn't *br*: : think the RFRA applies to us.*br*: :*br*: : Jenny*br*
