Time to look at what JFK really said in his 1960 speech on religion. Judge for yourself.

Rick Santorum said today that he "wanted to throw up" about this speech, and characterized it as saying that people of faith should not be involved in the political process. I can't find that here. Can you?

that religion should have some influence in govt, then we must also allow for sharia law to influence our govt. How would that work for you, Rick?
