Hillary Clinton got religion yesterday, calling it a mistake for the Democrats not to engage Evangelical Christians on their own turf - essentially ceding the vote to President Bush [related, bio].
``I don't think you can win an election or even run a successful campaign if you don't acknowledge what is important to people,'' she said at a speaking engagement at Tufts University. ``We don't have to agree with them. But being ignored is a sign of such disrespect. And therefore I think we should talk about these issues.''
Clinton said the Bible should be used to win debates over poverty the way Republicans tried to use it on gay marriage.
``No one can read the New Testament of our Bible without recognizing that Jesus had a lot more to say about how we treat the poor than most of the issues that were talked about in this election,'' she said.
The former first lady didn't bother answering the ``will she/won't she'' question on the collective mind of the 5,000 jammed into the Tufts gym - but she gave enough of a hint to delight the partisan crowd of Hillary '08 backers.
Noting that oppressed Afghans were able to get a woman on the ballot for president in recent elections, Clinton called it, ``a feat that puts Afghanistan women ahead of American women.''
The crowd laughed knowingly, then went wild with apparent encouragement of the Draft Hillary movement.
The outspoken New York senator also rained on President Bush's post-election honeymoon, casting doubt about success in the battle for Fallujah and hopes for a new round of Mideast peace talks if PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat dies.
She bluntly urged Bush to use the election ``mandate'' to win over allies to help in Iraq.
``What is past is past - we have a second-term president with, in his words, a lot of political capital,'' she said. ``And I would hope he would use it both at home and abroad.''
Hillary, you are NOT allowed to pick and choose the scriptures you want to accept! There is more to the bible than the gospel of St. Matthew, and you ignore the rest at your own risk.
I will talk to them about God, Jesus, and the Holy Bible but I made a pledge when I was young after Carter that I would not vote for a Democrat again. No matter who it is or what they say they stand for. And I haven't. Amen.
Make way for Hitlery and the 5 pound Bible.
Lest we not forget, the list of her blaphemies is long, from kissing Suha Arafat to screeching, to stealing,lying, and cheating..need I continue?
We know you don't, Hillary. That's why you, too, will lose.
And so it begins...
How about starting with "THOU SHALT NOT STEAL" and the PROSCRIPTION against rulers showing prejudice to the poor but dealing purely on principles of JUSTICE.
Leftism/socialism is like me and you walking down the street, seeing a destitute person and me feeling waves of pity for the guy. In fact, I feel SOOOO bad for him that I immediately pull out a gun, steal your money, and give it to him.
Now I can do it in the name of God.

We do find Judas Iscariot exhibiting a disproportianate "concern" about the poor, though. He was
This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein. John 12:4-6
The social welfare megalith created by the Democrats is just another Union Featherbed to pay off the big government workers unions.
Here is what Paul the Apostle said about giving.
SHUT UP, HILLARY, YOU LIAR!!!
Watch her move to the RIGHT of President Bush. The Clintons know how to win elections even if it has to be WITH A LIE!!!
They were stumbling over themselves with the 'atta boy's'! One said, “See... Bill can talk about religion because it's part of him!” Yeah... I bet Juanita Broaddrick got a good glimpse of Billy Blythe's 'soul' in that Arkansas hotel-room.
With Hillary, you have the core of the rotten, Democrat beast. She despises religion as does every, true Marxist... God must be eradicated in order for absolute, governmental control.
What she's really saying is... “Let them have their shamans and superstitions for now... but when we(me & Bill) regain power... their Gods won't help them!!”
I will retire to Bedlam.

And it will most likely still be bookmarked in the same place.
It got to be quite a joke in our household that whenever Slick was shown with it, it always had the bookmark in the same spot. It became a contest to see who could yell "Bookmark" first.
Did I really type that?
Besides she has a voting record and has made statements that will label the liberal creep for what she is.
I beg to differ.
John Kerry should have had to answer uncomfortable questions about his military record, his treasonous meetings with the enemy, and his ultra-liberal voting record.
He never was asked about any of that by the MSM, and those who raised questions (like the Swift Vets, God bless 'em) were demonized and attacked all day long.
Hillary will get the same preferential treatment, only more so.
Our Bible???? Who says "our Bible"? Oh, someone who carries it for a prop, and rarely ever reads it.
