Senator Reid Launches Faith Web Site
Reid ^ | Tuesday, July 19, 2005 | Reid

Posted on 07/19/2005 7:13:03 PM PDT by mdittmar

Washington, DC - Democratic Leader Harry Reid made the following statement today announcing the launch of his new website -

A Word to the Faithful:

”As Democratic Leader, I’ve made outreach to the faith community a top priority and have had the great privilege of meeting with leaders of many faiths. I’ve talked with Protestant ministers about the immorality of a budget that cuts programs for the neediest among us while rewarding those with the most. I’ve discussed immigration and poverty with Catholic Bishops, and I’ve met with Jewish leaders to discuss ways we can help hardworking families across this country.

”My discussions have only reinforced the belief that the Democratic Party and people of all faiths share many values and goals, and I intend to continue my outreach in the months ahead. As part of this effort, it is my honor to introduce you to this website – A Word to the Faithful. It’s dedicated to illustrating how people of faith and Senate Democrats can work together to lift our neighbors up and achieve our common goals.”

"...to discuss ways we can help hardworking families across this country.

Well, the quickest way would be for the Democrats to cut taxes...

"This is a joke, right?"
No. He wants to join the Clintons with their new TV network.

Hillary is going to put her hair in a beehive, wear extra makeup and dress in pink. Bill will dress in a leisure suit and have his hair puffed up and blow dried.

They will try to be TV evangelists because they heard something about values in the last election.

Sorry for the sarcasm but it's really funny to hear these pro-abortion Demonrats suddenly talking about religion.
I feel like I'm hearing a Saturday Night Live skit.

people of faith and Senate Democrats can work together

Is it just me, or is that an admission that these are two separate groups?

Oops -- I should have known that somebody (namely, you) beat me to that insight (People of Faith != Senate Dems)

Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.

WHAT HARRY MEANT TO SAY:

As Democratic Leader, I’ve made outreach to targeting deceptive, shallow religious-sounding propaganda the faith community a top priority and have had the great privilege of meeting with leaders of many faiths just as the devil met with Martin Luther. I’ve talked, without repentance, with Protestant ministers about the immorality of a Senator's budget that cuts programs for the neediest among us while rewarding those in my family's lobbying cartel with the most. I’ve discussed immigration and poverty with Catholic Bishops, and I’ve met with Jewish leaders to discuss ways we can help hardworking families across this country while I legislate in ways that help feather the Reid nests.

alreasy happened...here's the second story on the site:


Social Security and African Americans
Senator Harry Reid
During the month of February, Black History Month, all Americans celebrate the achievements of African Americans. As we observe these achievements, we must also engage in a serious discussion that will certainly impact the lives of African Americans; the debate over the privatization of Social Security.'

Harry,

As soon as you extract your nose from "muslim-American" a$$cracks to get some air and wipe the sand and camel dung from your eyes, you may notice that truly religious people believe that you are working for the devil.

That trash talking, lying, hatefull, bigoted pile of rotted goat cheese is the last person who anyone with an ounce, (or a tenth of one) of religious fortitude would look to for his political support of it.
Democrats have no limit of how low they will go to try decieve the voter. That became evident when John Kerry started going to gospel churches during the last weeks of the election, so this really doesn't suprize me all that much.

already happened...here's the second story on the site: Social Security and African Americans Senator Harry Reid During the month of February

LOL!

I guess Harry's faith is lacking.

Maybe he can get one of those kids who's always coming up to him in restaurants to update his stupid website.

He is probably being told to do this by the dems new Spiritual Guru---Jim Wallis....

About as phoney as a 7 dollar bill, IMHO.

And, if Harry wants to take directions from him, I say go for it Harry...

BTW, isn't Harry a Mormon?
