If Bush said even this much about his faith, he would be attacked as a right-wing holy roller and there would be screams about the separation of Church & State.
So incredibly hypocritical.

which say that we will be judged on the way we treat the poor and marginalized I don`t know what percentage of the Bible deals with treatment of the poor but I suspect it is less than 1 percent.
Too bad libs in their pitiful attempt to appear tolerant of religion in general and Christianity specifically never discover the rest of the Scriptures.

I find it sooooooooooo funny/ alarming that after the last election, so many Democrats all of a sudden "found" religion. They talk about it as though they have always lived it. Shameless and hopefully the people can see through it.

Senator Kennedy says "I uh, admired the Lords ability to turn water into wine. That's uh, my kind of messiah."

In a follow-up story, the Senator spontaneously burst into flame when some Lourdes water was accidentally sprinkled on him...

The difference is that when Teddy Kennedy (moral spokesman for the Democrat party) talks about how deeply religious he is, nobody believes it.

I guess he thinks that lets him off the hook. Because there's a lot to answer for if he really took Exodus 20 seriously.

I don`t know what percentage of the Bible deals with treatment of the poor but I suspect it is less than 1 percent.Jesus said a lot about that, but he never said that it was the duty of the Romans to tax the Jews to get it done. It's a personal responsibility, not something that should be left solely to the police power of the state.
People do not save their souls by encouraging the state to do the "good work" for everyone, whether they want it or not. Especially since government charges such a large handling fee.

The just treatment of the poor is central to both Judaism and Christianity.
But that means works of charity performed personally or personal donations to charitable organizations which genuinely help the poor. It doesn't mean imposing higher taxes to pay for a hugely expensive programs, in which most of the money goes to pay salaries of bureaucrats and the poor are only questionably helped.
It's very noticeable that Democrat politicians always want to tax somebody else to pay for the poor, but unless they are called to account they rarely give any money personally and rarely or never visit the sick, care for the hungry, visit prisoners, or anything else that the gospels call for.
Al Gore notoriously donated something like $150 one year to charity, before he was called on it. Kennedy probably contributes to NARAL and NOW. Teresa Heinz Kerry supervises the donations of millions to Communist political organizations. None of this does anything meaningful for the poor.
It's important for conservatives to take the high ground on moral issues, and not let Democrats get away with pretending to be concerned for the poor and the oppressed. They are not.

I don't think Christians will be fooled by faux religion. It is very easy to tell when someone is just talking off the top of their head. It amuses me that these dems think they can just throw out a scripture or two or claim the devotion of their parents to a faith and think that a Christian would not pick up on the shallowness of their statement. A lot of folks know a little bit of scripture. You can't sprinkle it in a conversation without knowing the context and make a rational statement. It really it amusing to see them try....

kennedy read the dnc talking points and is putting them into practise. So is hitlery.
The sheeple will probably be taken in by these wolves if the GOP doesn't stay a step ahead with an offensive.

I read the New Testament too, Does Kennedy have asbestos gloves to prevent his hands from bursting into flames when he holds the Bible?

"It's important for conservatives to take the high ground on moral issues, and not let Democrats get away with pretending to be concerned for the poor and the oppressed. They are not."I so agree about the demodimwits subterfuge.
I also am waiting for the Conservatives and GOP to get energized enough to point out the truth.

Impossible! If Ted Kennedy even touched a Bible he'd go up in smoke!
