A REAL Evangelical Christian would NEVER vote Democrat!

Niether would a REAL Catholic or REAL Jew.

Christians say “Hate the sin, Love the sinner.”

Liberals says “Embrace the sin, blame society for the sinner.”

Dean is, of course, a total idiot.

Let's not criticize him too harshly. At the moment we have him right where we need him ~ in charge of the Democrats.

>"told a San Francisco audience that his party should open its arms to a new group of converts: young evangelical Christian voters."

They could share their experiences of commiting infanticide, and how to spread death and disease for fun. Isn't that what Christians do??

if you need a sarcasm tag you need to laugh more.

“People want to go to church because they know what they can do about poverty”

Statements like this are why Dean will never understand true Christians. True Christians go to church because they wish to worship Jesus Christ.

Didn’t Dean leave his church because of an argument over a bicycle path?

... “People don’t want to go to church anymore ... and come out feeling bad because they happen to know somebody who’s gay,’’ he said. “People want to go to church because they know what they can do about poverty, about Darfur, about the environment.’’ Dean specifically cited the positive impacts of Christian leaders such as Rick Warren — author of the best-selling “The Purpose-Driven Life,’’ and pastor of the Orange County-based Saddleback Church — and of young pastor Joel Osteen, the televangelist sensation who has welcomed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to his Houston-based Lakewood Church. “Those people don’t beat up on other people to make their point and raise a lot of money,’’ he said. ...”

We exalt queers and killing babies! Come on in! What, you don’t want to come?! Yeeaaargh!

How weird is onto something here. These were the same people that helped give the rat power last November by staying home. From the rat's viewpoint trying to sell young evangelicals cancer door to door makes sense.

When I was in prep school (during the Vietnam Era) we got to pick which "church" we attended.

My best friend told me the hottest girls were Unitarians, so off we went to the Unitarian church.

We were greeted by wall to wall Vietnam protest posters, guitar-playing Vietnam protestors, preaching Vietnam protestors, and not-so-hot girl Vietnam protestors. :-)

I did ask one of the folks there if God was a Vietnam protestor--they gave me one of those "snake in Hillary's eyes" looks.

DNC chair Dean says party needs to invite young evangelical Christians...to abandon their faith and come over to the dark side.

There! Fixed the title!

Not sure what your response means. Could you elaborate?

“We know we’re going to get swift-boated right around February next year,’’ he said, referring to attacks on 2004 Democratic nominee John Kerry funded by private donors. But he vowed “this time, we’re going to have $18.5 million in this special fund, ready to say to the nominee — ‘here you go, go fight ‘em off and do whatever you have to do.’ ‘’

Ah yes, swiftboating. The act of confronting a politician with undeniable, irrefutable facts during an election.

Sounds like they are already worried about the election! And I think young evangelicals are too smart to be fooled by the likes of Screamin’ Dean and his smear machine.
