I love the hypocrisy of the Republicans… I don’t think they even see it any more.
First… these so called “Christians” blaspheme the name of our Lord by calling Obama the “Messiah”, slander his name inexorably, steal from taxpayers at will, and covet the boys in the restroom.
Then… the profess their stance on “Pro Life”, while the majority of abortions-on-demand are chosen by 25-35 year old professional republican women, republican’s wives, republican’s daughters, and republican’s mistresses.
May God have mercy on your evil, black, miserable souls.

The term "Christian Conservative" is an oxymoron. I think they misread Jesus' admonition that "what you do FOR the least of my flock, you do for me."
They obviously thought it said 'TO' rather than 'for'.

I love the hypocrisy of the Liberals! They pontificate on the importance of tolerance yet they don't express it themselves...example 1:24
"May God have mercy on your evil, black, miserable souls."

I remember reading a report that said that conservatives gave more money then do liberals.
We don't have issues giving to those that need it- we just oppose the government taking from us....

I love the hypocrisy of the Republicans! They pontificate on their understanding of Christianity, yet they don't seem to actually understand it...example
"May God have mercy on your evil, black, miserable souls."
...is a prayer of good will and forgiveness of their evil deeds. But they see it only as an opportunity to prove the need for it.

1:35 A claim frequently cited by the selfish GOPers - yes, only if you count corporate tax write-offs and church tithing to support missions to convert the heathens to whatever form of religion you believe in as charity. Heaven forbid you ever gave real assistance to the "inferior" disadvantaged poor however. They'd probably just spend the grant money on crack.

Another screw up for Arlene. Arlene realized that this might not be the best for McCain to be standing next to this guy for a fundraiser so it was shifted to RPOF. RPOF can't wait for this to be over so they can be rid of Arlene all together.

Another screw up for Arlene. Arlene realized it wouldn't be that good for McCain to stand next to this guy and have it called a fundriser for McCain so she dump it on the RPOF at the last minute, like always. The RPOF can't wait to lose just to get rid of Arlene.

9:55a.m. you obviously can't read McCain is going to attend. Check your facts before dumping on someone.
Posted by: | July 24, 2008 at 10:31 AM
9:55
You should read a little closer, he will attend as a guest only and that the donations will go thru the RPOF.

The remarks here are just an example of how sick you Obama people are. If John Rich wants to help McCain, that's his business -- and McCain's. Go back in your hole and stop hating! This is why the democrats can't get it together.
