I couldn't help it, it's still a funny story.
Fishing for the 'faith' vote. Just gotta find the right language. Them believers are sorta stoopid, right?
OK you guys, I want a detailed report on this 'Jesus' thing on my desk within a week. Also find out about 'NASCAR' and hunting. And barbecue. Also pickup trucks and dogs. Get out there!
Burn the witches first.
They already had a "faith agenda". That's why so many religious people vote Republican.
"do you have 100K votes?"
"NO, go fish"
If I were a democrat pretending to love God, I would watch for lighting bolts.
Gal-ch.6 v.7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Denny Crane: "There are two places to find the truth. First God and then Fox News."
The Dems have trotted out their most spiritual members -- not to instruct their unbelieving fellow congressmen or Senators but . . .
To help them create an ad campaign -- to be consumed by their recent unfaithful -- to call them back to the mother church.
If the Dems want consensus on this, they should cherry-pick the best bits of Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, and Paganism, package the whole thing up and announce: "This is our faith. We are ever bit as much a moral Christian as you Republicans."
This is pathetic. They aren't doing this out of any religious conviction. This is a political strategy to these evil people.
Putting wheels on a frog and calling it a wagon...does not make it a wagon
The unwritten story is, if they have to convene a "working group" to figure out how to talk the talk, then they will never walk the walk. And they will never con anyone into believing otherwise, no matter how many snippets of scripture their speechwriters squeeze into their statements.
And they continue to fail to grasp that if you have faith (in God, not in Government and the Courts), you don't have to "wear your religion on your shirtsleeve." In fact, if you have faith, you won't wear it you will live it.
These people really are beyond redemption.
""We polled the Democratic caucus and by a nearly 1 1/2 to 1 margin, WE APPROVE OF GOD."
God needs there approval??
Give me a break.
They wouldn't know what religious 'Faith' was, unless God smacked them in the head.
Hypocrits.
The irony of the dems pursuit of a faith agenda is that it basically comes down to their stand on abortion ... a litmus test that they themselves have so vigorously promoted over the years.
Those quotes were made up. They came from me. I thought that was pretty obvious.
"Our problem is not our programs," said Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C. "It's been our expressions and interpretations of those programs."
Sorry, Congressman, it's impossible to polish pigsh*t...care to try another answer?
...instead, we gotta sorta hide our religion, you know, with its faith in Gaia through the sacrament of abortion.
Plus, the disconnect between being Catholic and demonrat. I share my Catholic conservative brother & sister's frustration at such a state of affairs.
It's like Rush always says about greatness: if you have to explain how great you are, you ain't. If you have to have "develop" a "faith agenda," it means you don't have one, and, more important, you don't have a clue as to what faith is.
