~9:05pm~ EST EVANGELICAL HILLARY?: I admit I nearly fell out of my chair laughing when I read the quote attributed to Hillary from an upcoming print edition of the National Review.
HillaryWatch was the first one to bring it to my attention...
Speaking to a "church based" newsletter this week in anticipation of the opening of the Clinton Presidential Library, Mrs. Clinton made the following statements...
"I always take time to worship God in as evangelical a way as is feasible, given time and location constraints. As you know, I consider myself an evangelical Christian, really a Christian conservative, if you want to know the truth, so it's nice to be 'home' again in the South, which I really consider my quote-unquote home even though I live in New York most of the time. Well, Washington, D.C., most of the time, actually, but if I'm not there I'm in New York, of course, but always thinking about being here, in the South, my spiritual home, where I shared so many wonderful evangelical . . . moments and . . . events."
I went to one of the leading "evangelical" schools in the nation. I can quite assuredly verify for you that there is no "EVANGELICAL WAY" of worshiping. Evangelicals are as diverse as the rest of the population.
What unifies them - and identifies them AS evangelicals - is not how they worship. It is what they believe.
And this is yet another glaring example of how liberals believe that the reason they lost in 2004 was because they did not trick the population into thinking that the political left "believes" as well.
The "Values Voters" that participated in the election this year - don't have some ethereal mystical type of belief system. They actually DO BELIEVE in certain absolutes and they organize their lives around the beliefs they hold.
Caring for the poor - is not a "Values Voters" issue - liberals and conservatives alike believe that we need to help the poor. The difference in the two is HOW to go about doing it.
The "Values Voters" this year actually hold specific conviction about morality - and the left has been left hanging clueless since as to figure out how to respond to people of strong conviction.
So in that reality you will continue to see Hillary and others say silly things like how they LOVE to worship "in as much of an evangelical way as is feasible"...
In fact they give blatant pandering a bad name. --------------------------------------------------
***But seriously, these folk are all jumping on the Bible Bandwagon: They know not what they are playing with!***
I'm thinking of Christ taking a whip and driving the money changers out of the temple.
Hillary! can put down the Bible...
"Bush...Clinton...Bush......Clinton" just ain't goin' happen.
Yup ;-D
For about the 30th time in the last three days, THIS DID NOT HAPPEN. The original source was a SATIRE. This story is making all of us on the right look as gullible as can be; the turds over at DU are probably laughing for the first time since the election, in between sobs.
Nope. It's satire.
How gullible are we?

Frightening! I forgot about how we had to parse everything that comes out of the Clintonistas pieholes....
Wait, I remember when Hilly was a Jew just a few years ago when she was running for the Senate.
Admiring Hillary's "gonads" is really the amazement that anyone can be so brazen. I'll let the Lord, or others, straighten her out in the afterlife....
I hear they once belonged to Web Hubbell....
Damn, just when life was startin' to get good again...!

Yeah, that's why I was wondering. It seemed a bit over the top, so I was suspicious.

As much fun as all have with Hillary as nominee, or Kerry or Gore running again, seriously, the Dem will be looking to promote one or more Dem governors. They don't have to be screamin Howards. There are others. From the recent press, they might even be considering Harry Reid from Congress.
