"A Party on it is knees"? What does that mean?

I thought this was a Monica and Bill story.

"I know that many of the people who are in politics on the Democratic side do so according to the -- the gospel of Matthew and indeed the Bible, but we don't demonstrate it clearly enough and faith is such an important part of the lives of most people in our country. They want to know that we identify with that."

What the Dems do not and will not understand is that picking pet verses from the Bible and quoting them as political justification is NOT living your faith.

[Brilliant]

What's going to happen is this: The wisest leaders of the Dem Party are going to try to take it to the center. Some of the Dems will have a big problem with that. They will try to prevent it, and that will set up a battle from within. If the moderates win, then the liberals will split off and start their own ultra liberal party. If the liberals win, then the moderates will become Republicans. Either way, the party is in big trouble.

Just where sinkEmperor wants them!

Perhaps the Democratic Party is sitting on Cousin It's lap.

[hope]

It's going to be amusing watching them attempt to play the religion card in the years to come. Bill Clinton is probably the only one to get it...And that's because he was able to pull off his faith charade to get him enough votes. We cannot allow another democrat to do that.

[hope]

exactly!

"When [Kerry] emerged from church on Ash Wednesday with ash on his head, the American people didn't see faith but phoniness."
Why phoniness? Someone extinguished a cigarette or a cigar on him, and the question was "who?" If anything, it whetted the interest in his candidacy.

Does this mean they are praying?

LOL! I saw that and wondered if I should make a comment. The first thing I did was check to see if the American Spectator made that mistake. There's something about a professional publication making grammatical errors that really gets to me...

My only real concern is that it messes up a search for the article if someone puts in the correct spelling.

since prognosticators that believe economics alone determine elections, and they all believed that economic state of country favored Bush, then it was actually the Democratic vote that was culturally determined--and it is Anti-Christian. They will only alienate their base by embracing religion, so they are between a rock and a hard place.

Monica is back.

Already posted here.

But George is so good, I'm glad to see it posted again.

Yet what are we now hearing from the Mike Barnicles and Nancy Pelosis? That Kerry didn't talk about God enough. That he failed to satisfy the public's hunger for spirituality and morality.

More likely he made the public nauseous with his transparent religiosity. What African-American church did John Kerry visit this fine Sunday morning?

I believe they are praying that someday they'll be relevant again. Boy, Zell Miller really hit the nail on the head... talk about a national party no more.

They just don't understand! Christianity IS NOT a religion!!! It is a RELATIONSHIP, an intimate and loving relationship with God, Jesus and The Holy Spirit! It is the love of God and the Holy Spirit with in that restrains us and keeps us from going into the immoral slime pit. They can talk the talk and sit the butts on a pew every Sunday, but until they get touched by God...they will be just as big of losers as they are now. That won't stop them. They aren't trying to change, they're just trying to figure out how best to fool the people.
