'Jesus-Loving' Democrats Get a Pass, Jesus-Citing Bush Was Pounded in 2000

While faux-conservative Democratic candidates like Harold Ford (lifetime ACU: 19) declare repeatedly in public their love for Jesus Christ (a "Jesus-loving, gun-supporting believer," Ford said yesterday), let's remember how the folks at NBC greeted Bush's embrace of Jesus as a philosopher at the dawn of 2000. From our newsletter Notable Quotables, recall how they freaked out on behalf of every religious minority in America:

"Governor Bush, in the last debate when you talked about Jesus being the philosopher-thinker that you most respected, many people applauded you. Others said what role would religion have in the Oval Office with George W. Bush. Fifteen million atheists in this country, five million Jews, five million Muslims, millions more Buddhists and Hindus. Should they feel excluded from George W. Bush because of his allegiance to Jesus?...Would you take an expression like ‘What would Jesus do?’ into the Oval Office?"-- Questions from New Hampshire Republican debate moderator Tim Russert to George W. Bush, January 6, 2000.

Pretty soon we'll see Kerry sporting a Bible every time he goes to a podium to speak.

Jesus is just another political prop if you are a DUmocrat. They won't ever be questioned on it because it's known that they are hypocrites.

When liberals invoke Christianity, the DBM assumes that they don't really mean it, because the DBM knows that liberals lie to get elected.

When conservatives invoke Christianity, the DBM goes into full panic mode, because they know that conservatives really believe in God, and they freak out at the thought that it might be true.

This is a more apt description. I John 2:3&4


3 Now by this we may be sure that we know him, if we obey his commandments. 4Whoever says, ‘I have come to know him’, but does not obey his commandments, is a liar, and in such a person the truth does not exist; 5but whoever obeys his word, truly in this person the love of God has reached perfection.

>>"Jesus-Loving' Democrats Get a Pass, Jesus-Citing Bush Was Pounded in 2000"<<

The Drive-By Media knows that when a Democrat professes faith in Jesus, he is most-likely lying. When a Republican professes faith in Jesus, he is most-likely telling the truth. Big difference. To the left, it is perfectably acceptable to lie, but anathema to be a Christian.

Chris Wallace said that Ford was pro-life. I hadn't heard that. Is it true?
