TEN THINGS GOD WON'T ASK

1...God won't ask what kind of car you drove, He'll ask how many people you drove who didn't have transportation.

2...God won't ask the square footage of your house, He'll ask how many people you welcomed into your home.

3...God won't ask about the clothes you had in your closet, He'll ask
how many you helped to clothe.

4...God won't ask what your highest salary was; He'll ask if you
compromised your character to obtain it.

5...God won't ask what your job title was, He'll ask if you performed
your job to the best of your ability.

6...God won't ask how many friends you had; He'll ask how many people to whom you were a friend.

7...God won't ask in what neighborhood you lived, He'll ask how you
treated your neighbors.

8...God won't ask about the color of your skin, He'll ask about the
content of your character.

9...God won't ask why it took you so long to seek Salvation; He'll
lovingly take you to your mansion in heaven.

10...God won't ask how many people you forwarded this to;
He'll ask if you were ashamed to pass it on to your friends.

I saw two women on Hardball speaking out about the ad. Debra Burlingame lost her brother, who was the pilot on American Airlines flight 77, which crashed into the Pentagon. And Monica Gabrielle lost her husband at the World Trade Center on September 11.

Debra was understanding and thought there should be a reminder in the president's messages.

Monica groaned on about how ironic GWB would use images of 9/11 considering he was in a classroom reading to children.

GWB has yet to answer to the 9/11 commission.

Neither he nor Vice President Cheney have agreed to meet with the commission, the entire commission to give under oath testimony about what they knew on and before 9/11 regarding the state of national security.

Gabreille goes on for quite a time repeating Bush/Cheney are ignoring the commission. The commission, the commission, the commission.

Then Monica Gabriel messes up....

MATTHEWS: So just to try to help the audience understand, your complaint here, it‘s not at the ads, that he‘s using 9/11 in the ads. Your complaint is he won‘t—he hasn‘t been forthcoming as to the details of what his policy was before 9/11 and his preparedness.

GABRIELLE: I disagree. I also find the ads tasteless. I don‘t want to see 9/11 used in a political forum as a platform for the Republicans to promote.

But WAIT! There's more.

MATTHEWS: Let me ask you—Let me ask you a tough question. Are you a Democrat or a Republican?

GABRIELLE: Politics doesn‘t have anything to do with it.

MATTHEWS: What are you?

GABRIELLE: Independent. I don‘t...

MATTHEWS: Did you vote for Bush in 2000?

GABRIELLE: You know what? To be honest with you, I don‘t even recall.

I very well might have. But that‘s not the issue here.

Monica doesn't remember who she voted for in the first presidential election in history that lasted for over a month. Riiiight.
