Jesus is Not A Republican - an Evangelical lays bare the lies

Via Buzzflash

'William J. Bennett, who wrote The Book of Virtues and served as Ronald Reagan's secretary of education and as one of Bill Clinton's most relentless critics. We now know that Bennett is a compulsive gambler. Ralph Reed, currently a Republican candidate for lieutenant governor of Georgia — the first step on his road to the White House — has always preached against gambling as part of his "family values" rhetoric. He has also done consulting work for Enron (which engaged in other forms of gambling) and accepted as much as $4.2-million from Indian tribes intent on maintaining a regional monopoly for their casinos. "I need to start humping in corporate accounts," he wrote to the lobbyist Jack Abramoff...

The purpose in ticking off a roll call of rogues associated with the religious right (and the list could have been longer) is not to single individuals out for obloquy and certainly not to suggest the absence of moral failings on the other side of the political spectrum — though I must say that some of this behavior makes Bill Clinton's adolescent dalliances pale by comparison. The point, rather, is to argue that those who make it their business to demand high standards of moral rectitude from others ought to be able to approach those standards themselves.'

It hurt me when a lady voted a couple of weeks ago in Alabama proclaimed that she "didn't have a liberal bone her in body" as she took the GOP ballot I was giving her (I was a poll worker). That Jesus, we all know what a big conservative he would've been. ;)

Just tickled to death to do something to smite the sinners.

She was wearing a t-shirt that had the "WWJD" slogan on it...

Well, this christian liberal voted Dem! LOL

Well, maybe she needed one.

(Yes, it was a crude and sexist thing to say, but with people like that, it feels quite good.)

"How 'bout a hand for Mackie -- Mackie on drums!"
-- Buddy Mills (a.k.a. Chris Kattan; with Fred Armisen as Mackie)

under your breath, "That's not anything to brag about." and then if she took offense you could say "I said that's not anything to be sad about" with a straight face and your fingers crossed behind your back.

If she is, tell her to put her money where her mouth is and give up the check. Lets see if her church will come to her aid. (HINT--IT WON'T!)

Of course, all the righties will soon make it crystal clear that this here librul is NOT a "real" Christian.

penchant for using the "F" word, and W's choice of him (cussing and all) as VP disqualifies both of them for genuine membership in the evangelical club.

Memo to GWB: "Real" evangelicals do not use the F word, and they don't choose running mates who do.

No shit

You'd have to be just this side of Retarded to believe otherwise!

their preachers are ingrained into the Republican Party structure.

I remember when I first moved to California and I was forced to go to Foursquare church services with my aunt. Every sunday, the church bulletin had a stuffer from the Christian Coaltion and the Republican Party with their propaganda, and the preacher would attack the four devils--Maxine Waters, Phil Donahue, Jerry Brown and Dan Rather in every sermon.

Thousands of ignorant folks shouted AMEN to the preacher's GOP approved talking points.
