---"I've faced odds that were at times seemingly impossible, situations where people had given up hope, but we didn't listen to the doubters, we didn't listen to the naysayers," Giuliani told several thousand worshippers at El Rey Jesus Church in Miami.

"Fear not, be strong, and of good courage," he added, quoting the Bible. The church, which has a congregation of 10,000 people, was his first stop on a three-day bus tour through Florida."---

UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rudy turns a bible verse encouraging Christians enduring persecution for the cause of Christ into a political rally cry for his failing campaign.

Yup. That's what the Holy Spirit was talking about with these words of divine encouragement to the persecuted Church: if your political campaign is failing and your strategy unfolding, "Fear not, be strong, and of good courage." Yup, that's what was meant......

Imagine the fits in the Conservative media like National Review if this was Mike Huckabee -- Imagine if this was Mitt Romney, and how the press would destroy him -- Just IMAGINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose. - William Shakespeare

More specifically, from The Merchant of Venice (appropriate for some guy named Giuliani), Act I, Scene III:

ANTONIO: Mark you this, Bassanio,
The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose.
An evil soul, producing holy witness,
Is like a villain with a smiling cheek,
A goodly apple rotten at the heart
O, what a goodly outside falsehood hath!

The “Stop Rudy” ping list!

E-mail/ping me if you want on/off the list! SPREAD THE WORD!!!

This is just amazing.

Rudy Giuliani is a man with no ethical core, no conscience, and no moral inhibitions. This is the campaign of a desperate and dastardly man who will do and say anything - ANYTHING - in his insatiable lust for power. Life of our youngest children, the Constitution, Scripture — there is nothing so sacred that he is unwilling to bastardize it authoritarian-like to impose his personal desires upon every single person he has the power to do so to. There is no standard but his own - everything else is malleable.

This man should be kept as far away from the most powerful office in the world as possible.

Times like this are the reason I proudly run the "Stop Rudy" ping list. In this one battle, I know that I fight the good fight.

[ER Doc]

Well, I think Giuliani feels persecuted most of the time. That's basically his attitude in most of his speeches...

[Just mythoughts]

"Fear not, be strong, and of good courage," he added, quoting the Bible....

So did he then pass Cesare's proverbial plate?

Rudy turns a bible verse encouraging Christians enduring persecution for the cause of Christ into a political rally cry for his failing campaign.

Yeah, but was Jesus ever as far behind in the polls as Rudy is? :=)

[Nathan Zachary]

"Seriously though…whatever you think of Giuliani and some of his personal issues, when he says he needs people's prayers, I'm sure he's being very genuine."

You've got to be kidding. I means he needs their votes, what esle would Ruby the unrepentant sinner be praying for?

[Kuksool]

If Rudy does get the nomination, watch Hillary or Obama get a bunch of black pastors to bash Rudy’s moral failings.

[Condor51]

This is a sacrilege, the amoral Rooty asking for prayers. That mutt has no bounds as to how low he'll go. He better watch out for lightening.

And as to his Florida Firewall strategy - he really screwed the pooch here, proves he's a dimwit and mentally unfit for office. The GOP stripped FL half of it's delegates for moving the primary date up. Moron Rooty is banking all for a whooping fifty-seven, that's 57 delegates!

So out of the 1,191 he'd need to win the nomination, IF he won FL he'd 'only' need another ... 1,114!

Come Feb 6th, it'll be Rudy who?

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

See this doesn't make me mad. Yes it reveals some lack of knowledge, but it also shows he isn't hostile to faith in general. God will deal with him on misuses. In a politician it's hostility to faith I reject. Their hostilities should be directed toward our nation's enemies, foreign and domestic. Religious faith in the nation's citizens is a good thing and should not be treated as some sort of evil like many politicians do these days.

You are right, however, that everyone would be outraged if this were Huckabee. I remember in the 70's when many of my fellow Southern Baptists were all excited about Jimmy Carter being SB too. Of course that was perfectly okay with the media. Now it is a scandal if SBs are happy to have another SB candidate. Even Clinton tapped into that. So did Gore. Of course they didn't seem genuine and so it didn't work so well, but still... The problem people have is with GENUINE faith. So Guiliani offers words of wisdom without even meaning to. "Fear not, be strong and of good courage..."

“Dear Lord, send us righteous, life-affirming leaders, and help us get them elected.”

Sorry, Rudy, that’s the best I could do. I sadly think it won’t be much help for you.

[Joe Boucher]

If Rudy the RINO is the model Catholic then that church really does have more problems then just buggering.
What is wrong with the Catholic church in that they allow abortion supporters to continue with the Catholic Sacraments?
Are they afraid of losing their tax exempt status?

[Liz]

Rooty worships at “The Church of Whatever Works For Me.”

[Hunton Peck]

"I've faced odds that were at times seemingly impossible, situations where people had given up hope, but we didn't listen to the doubters, we didn't listen to the naysayers..." [Then he quotes scripture].

Positively Hillaryesque. What an unspeakable scumbag.

[tear gas]

What’s he got to lose? He’s going to burn in hell anyway.
