February 29, 2004 -- Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" has become such a huge phenomenon so fast that campaign analysts are starting to ponder political fallout on the 2004 election - and some Democrats have got the jitters. "Whenever religion becomes a central topic of discussion, Democrats don't do so well, and now it's really out there," said a Democratic activist, who thinks the film links into concern on gay marriage and even Janet Jackson's breast flash.

If Kerry can't even make up his mind on whether he's going to see this film, then how in the world is he going to make tough decisions in the White House?!
This is Kerry in a nutshell!
Think about it, this guy wants to be Commander and Chief, with his finger on the nuclear button, and he can't even decide whether or not to see a movie!!! It boggles the mind.
Kerry attends a Catholic Church periodically. He is most definitely NOT a fellow Catholic, if his pronouncements on the subject mean anything.
As a presidential candidate, Kerry's comments are loaded with meaning for the future of America. More importantly, Kerry's ill-conceived remarks are a warning to American Christians that he will strengthen secularists power over believers. Kerry, Dimocrats and Hollywood are in league against believers and stand for everything Christians abhor: They worship abortion, the homosexual agenda, and the stripping away of every Christian symbol in America.
Who's kidding who? By bashing The Passion, Kerry is pandering to Hollywood secularists for campaign dollars. In return, Kerry assures Hollywood that a Kerry presidency will strengthen Hollywood's chokehold on American Christian culture.
Secularists have vastly profited from their anti-Christian activities. They've labored long and hard to strip away every symbol of Christianity from American culture. Hollywood has produced an avalanche of films, TV and music that demean Christians and trivialize Christian beliefs.
Candidates igonore Christians concerns at their peril. Kerry's comments and his positions on social issues must reach every Christian pastor, church, and group in America. These are the things Christian voters should talk about:
(1) Kerry's comments about The Passion movie have effectively disqualified him from holding the highest office in Christian America.
(2) Transparently anti-Christian candidates do not deserve Christian votes.
(3) Candidates carrying Bibles and going to church (the Clintons) but who vote against everything Christians believe in are not going to fool Christians again as they have in the past.
(4) Protecting the unborn, the sacredness of marriage, and Christian symbols in American life are very important issues Christians want addressed.
(5) A culture devoid of Christian values is a dangerous wasteland of school killings, disturbed one-parent kids, crime waves, schools in a cultural vacuum teaching the destructive NEA--PP'hood agenda, sexual license, teen pregnancies, abandoned babies, abortion on demand including infanticide, and the homosexual takeover.
(6) Let's be clear. The future of America depends on which candidate supports Christian issues. Kerry has demonstrated that he need not apply.
Isn't this an interesting self-description of his own character and lack of integrity? In effect, he is saying that he would be helpless to resist the antisemitic influences he imagines in shadows on a screen. Poor baby....
And don't forget, (whispering) General Clark owned up to a jewish father too!
As if we don't have enough trouble, now we have these schmendricks too!
Actually Mel was born in upstate NY, his family moved to Australia when he was 12. I don't know about politics & Mel, I just applaud the courage he showed in making this film.
It seems like everytime some hollywood weirdo comes forward with an anti-christian statement, or a comment about how evil America is we're always told how "corageous" they are for taking a stand. Mr Sarandon (Tim Robbins) and the whole flap about Bull Durham last year comes to mind. But really, what kind of courage does it take to spout extreme leftist views in hollyweird?
Now, along comes Mel Gibson, who openly defies all the hollywood establishment, basicaly telling them to stick their criticism because he's making this movie his way, without any of their help and it becomes a huge hit. That, IMHO is real guts. He's stuck his neck out making this, and if it flopped his career would have been toast. You can imagine the Speilbergs, Baldwins etc must be fuming that this movie has been so well received.
It was General Clark's father who was jewish.
That is what you think your preference is.
You will be happier with a man.
Work at it and you should succeed.
Lovely phrase.
