Thanks Bill & Hillary. We also must give thanks to Bernard Schwartz/Loral.
Bttt
Such an extraordinarily brilliant one you are!/now, bttt
fyi
Want an absolute truth Bill & Hill? Rapists are anti-individual, anti-freedom, anti-life.
1. Nominate a candidate that the Christian Right can support without abandoning their consciences and they will.
2. Expect the Christian Right to ignore the law of God and vote for a liberal Republican and they won't.
It's pretty simple actually.
The ball's in the G.O.P.'s court. You all just go ahead and vote for Giuliani or Romney in the primaries. Just don't act surprised when either lose in the general election.
I speak with Baptist's every day here in Virginia. To a person they will not cast a vote for your candidates.
And neither will I.
You prove my point, jla. ;)
If the GOP candidate is not to your liking, you will effectively place a de facto vote for the clintons, who are against everything you are for and for everything you are against, who are a real threat to our survival, who equate you with the islamo-fascist terrorists....
How in the world does that assuage your conscience? I don't get it.
And btw, no one is 'my' candidate. I would support an Allen as enthusiastically as I would a Giuliani.
I refuse to help elect a clinton. We no longer have the luxury of time or circumstance to endure another one. (Indeed, it is unclear whether we will survive the first.)
I don't think jla would vote for me. ;)
Thanks for the ping!
Indeed. Thanks for the ping!
You know, we had a boy named Bobby we ran with in our younger days. He went to all these fancy schools, always scored well on tests and such. So he thought he knew it all. He certainly would never take advice from his lessers.
One day we were all standing on the river bank. It was a hot July day, really hot, 100 in the shade. Bobby was intent on getting cooled off, at having his way.
He ran up to the river's edge and we yelled at him, "Bobby, you don't want to jump in there, it's shallow water".
Bobby, being the sophisticated one, paid us no mind. He took a running start and dove head first right into the clear, cool, blue water.
Couple hours later, we all got up from the curb when we seen Bobby coming out of the hospital, his head adorned with a swath of stiches that patched up the crack in his skull after he hit the rock in the river bed.
Ol' Bobby, true unto himself, seen us and exclaimed, "Ha ha! I get outta school for 2 weeks and I'm gettin' ice cream too!"
We boys, who were truly concerned about Bobby, just shook are stupid heads in disbelief.
Little Jimmy O'Malley spoke up, "Hey, why should we care about Bobby? He's treated us all like we're inferior to him and he can tell us what to do?"
Just then, Joshua Mahon put his hand on Jimmy's shoulder and said, "More the reason for us to be friendly with Bobby, showing him that we hold no grudge for him being wrong and his condescending attitude towards us."

I don't see the analogy. I am not disputing what you are saying. I am merely noting that you agree with me. (The condescension is in your head, not mine.)
Nice try avoiding the question. Could you explain why your conscience would be bothered helping to elect Giuliani but would not be helping to elect hillary clinton? I really don't get it.
Happy St. Patrick's Day.
you're welcome :)
You may wish to consider the fact that folks who read your missive might, as I did, take it as an insult. You're telling people who to vote for as if they need to be led around by a school marm lecturing a class of children.
Now, you of course won't agree, but I'm telling you, Miss NY'er, that is how Mr and Mrs. Southern Baptist will interpret it.
And I'd agree with them.
Perhaps you try seeing things thru a real-life prism instead of some algebraic equation.
Nice try avoiding the question.
Let me tell you once and for all - I avoid no questions. Christians won't support a person who advocates policies in polar opposition to their beliefs, and those beliefs are what have been instilled in them from the Holy Bible and/or Torah.
If you can't comprehend this then you really don't know the mindset of of the Christian Right, not one iota.
They are not going to vote for your people. Do you understand this? They are not. They will not. How much clearer can I make it?
As much as I hate to say it, you, and the Clintons, do not figure in the minds of Christians as much as obeying God does.
I know that may seem silly to you, but it'd true! Believe me, it really is! These folks have the nerve to think God is wiser than you all!

Your position--the evangelical ethos-- is PRECISELY my premise, my starting point. Your position--stated above--is PRECISELY why I cannot understand how you would help to elect HILLARY, someone who is anathema to all you profess to believe. And that is exactly what you'd be doing if you sit out the presidential election or vote for a 'Perot.' Just because you are not physically pulling the lever or marking the box or touching the square next to the name 'hillary clinton' doesn't mean you are not helping to elect her. You are playing with your mind if you think otherwise. Why do you refuse to address this point? I know it's difficult, a dilemma, but ignoring it won't make it go away. Were you aware that clinton had equated the Religious Right with the islamo-fascist terrorists, with the enemy? That he was attempting to transfer onto the Religious Right the hate and fear and disgust one feels for the islamo-fascist terrorists? In a church, no less? And to what the clintons believe to be a vulnerable, easily demagogued population? That was the purpose of this thread. To inform you of this. To let you hear clinton for yourself. Don't you want to know fully what the clintons think of you and to what extremes they are willing to go to harm you, to defeat you, to crush you? Or do you think that by ignoring this, it, too, will go away. As a Jew, I am sensitive about ignoring such threats to my existence. I am hoping, therefore, that you pay it some heed and not make the same mistake my brethren made almost seven decades ago. |
