Billy Graham buys election ads after Romney meeting
CNN ^ | October 18, 2012

Posted on 10/19/2012 2:29:36 PM PDT by SoFloFreeper

The most famous and revered pastor in America, Billy Graham, is calling on voters to cast a ballot for their faith in full-page ads in the Wall Street Journal, USA Today and other newspapers.

Graham’s picture appears prominently in the ads, next to copy that reads, “As I approach my 94th birthday, I realize this election could be my last.”

It continues, “I believe it is vitally important that we cast our ballots for candidates who base their decisions on biblical principles and support the nation of Israel. I urge you to vote for those who protect the sanctity of life and support the biblical definition of marriage between a man and a woman. Vote for biblical values this November 6, and pray with me that America will remain one nation under God.”

The ad hit the prominent papers Wednesday and Thursday, and could hit a dozen more newspapers...

Infanticide Obama is different than Abortion on demand Romney, regardless of how it is performed and let the mass taxpayers cover it...

Yeah, but dont forget to dismiss me over a false accusation of pirating a video, I mean, gosh, we’re talking priorities here!

Amen.

I am glad to hear you make this comment. It will be very sad when Rev.Graham dies, but it would be even more sad if -bama were to be president when he does.

You absolutely pirated that video. And it got yanked. Don’t add lying on top of everything else.

prove it was me

I never had access to any dvd or any digital copy of that video

nor was it posted on any account I am associated with

You are slandering me over this

But then again, anyone who would vote for someone who supports sodomy, I guess that can be expected.

But, Mr. Graham, if you’ve always believed this, why have you said you were always a Democrat at heart?

Hi sweetie. I think the ad's caption assumes more than Graham intended. He certainly didn't buy an "election ad" supporting Romney but rather, as he stated:

"I believe it is vitally important that we cast our ballots for candidates who base their decisions on biblical principles and support the nation of Israel. I urge you to vote for those who protect the sanctity of life and support the biblical definition of marriage between a man and a woman. Vote for biblical values this November 6, and pray with me that America will remain one nation under God."

Something I've heard my pastor say often and as recently as last week. When one compares Romney and Obama it's a no-brainer. He isn't asking that we accept Romney's faith but rather his stance on issues so important to Graham and which should be to this nation. What am I missing here FRiend?

Quite frankly, I don’t think he his control of his faculties anymore and is getting his puppet strings pulled.

Maybe some back room dealings between his son and Mitt.

Fascinating. You do know ol’ Billy has always been a life long Democrat, right?

Look it up—I’m not kidding.

But you know what they say, if you’ re young and not a liberal, you have no heart. If you’re old and not a conservative, you have no brain.

Maybe Billy got his brain because a Mormon

Maybe Billy got his brain because a Mormon is running as a Republican.

What??? “Romney’s hands” abort pre-borns??? Are you smoking crack at this moment?

What? Do you really think Romney signed the RomneyCare bill with his feet?

Romney has stated he will rescind Barack Obama’s executive order authorizing US taxpayer fund to pay for overseas abortions.

But that single act alone a Romney Presidency will reduce the numbers of abortions.

There is NO other rational vote for any truly Christian voter. Your inaction empowers evil while your action would oppose it. Moral cowardice, not matter how carefully hidden in a fake gloss of morality, is till cowardice

Time to stop pouting because your candidate did not win the 2012 GOP nomination

Thanks SoFloFreeper. This should be good for some additional topics filled with sanctimonious sectarian turmoil.
I believe it is vitally important that we cast our ballots for candidates who base their decisions on biblical principles and support the nation of Israel. I urge you to vote for those who protect the sanctity of life and support the biblical definition of marriage between a man and a woman. Vote for biblical values this November 6, and pray with me that America will remain one nation under God.

Are you a Mormon, or just anti-Christian?M

No just a rational, thoughtful adult thinking about things rather then screaming in hysteria because their candidate of choice did not win the 2012 GOP nomination.

Sins of Omission “aka God’s blind spot”, are still sins. Lie to yourselves all you wish, you cannot lie to God.

Romney or Obama will be President. Not voting for Romney means you are voting for Obama by omission. Dress it up all you wish, you can answer to God for your sins.
