Hillary may have footed the 7 million dollars to bring BG to NY. We'll hear these quotes and see these pics several more times...especially in southern swing states around Sept of 08.

"Ex-President Bill Clinton and Sen. Hillary
Clinton get prime seats for the
Rev. Billy Graham's sermon yesterday."

[golfboy]

ahhhh... that's so sweeeet. Who cares, everyone knows they they will do ANYTHING for power.

Never miss a photo-op

"They're a great couple," he said. "I told an audience that I felt when he left the presidency he should be an evangelist because he has all the gifts and he'd leave his wife to run the country."

I'm flabbergasted.

"They're a great couple," he said. "I told an audience that I felt when he left the presidency he should be an evangelist because he has all the gifts and he'd leave his wife to run the country."

Kissing up to people in power has always been a Billy Graham weakness. From his Jew-bashing on the Nixon tapes to his brownnosing of the Clintons.

Could the Clinton be anymore obvious?

[jla]

fyi

[Sacajaweau]

Well, that fulfills that prediction!!

What's next??

Regular church going?? Sounds about right. Hit the Black churches in the South??

[Mo1]

What's next??

They'll start going to the Catholic Churches like Kerry did

C'mon, Archie, you don't think that ever crossed Hillary's mind, do you?

Expect to see that photograph frequently between now and 2008.

As Hillary said: "I've always been a praying person."

I don't blame you, but I'm not. Graham's reputation far exceeds his reality, I am genuinely sorry to say. He has compromised increasingly and very harmfully for decades. I was dragged against my will to that conclusion, BTW.

Many will blame his health or his staff -- or just give him a pass because he's Billy Graham. Well, being Billy Graham means MORE accountability, not less (cf. James 3:1 and countless other similar Scriptures). This is not his first glaring de facto contradiction of the Gospel, it comes after decades of selling out bit by bit. For a sad, well-documented read on that theme (in Graham and others), see Evangelicalism Divided, by Iain Murray.

If you look at the crowd at this revival... beside out-of-town "red staters", it's also local African-Americans and evangelical Latinos. Bush made inroads with these communities in 2004. Even if she has no chance with conservative white evangelicals, Hillary and Bill understand the she needs 99.9% of the vote in West Philadelphia, North Miami, and the north side of Milwaukee.

Excuse me while I go throw up my breakfast.... Oh, wait, I haven't had any yet, so it'll be dry heaves.

Sometimes I feel like I'm living in a parallel universe.

They held hands. I guess Hitlery is trying to offset all the lesbian stories that are coming out as her quest for absolute power in 2008 steams ahead. "Bill, there is the photographer! Hold my hand NOW you insignificant little man or there will be hell to pay!"

"I told an audience that I felt when he left the presidency he should be an evangelist because he has all the gifts and he'd leave his wife to run the country."

This has a double meaning:

He (Clinton) would abandon his wife in order to run the country.

He would allow his wife to run the country.

Clinton has already been there, done that.
