Christian right groups set sights on '08

http://news.yahoo.com/s/usatoday/christianrightgroupsse...

Leaders of conservative Christian organizations plan to jointly interview Republican contenders for the 2008 presidential nomination, perhaps even endorsing one of them - steps that could expand their already considerable political influence.

. . .

The ad hoc group includes "free thinkers" and "strong personalities," he says, but they might unite behind a candidate who "unquestionably" best represented their views and priorities.

(FREETHINKERS???????? riiiiiiiiiiiigggght.....)

. . .

Perkins spoke favorably of one likely Republican presidential contender, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist of Tennessee, and dismissively of another, Arizona Sen. John McCain (news, bio, voting record). He criticized the bipartisan compromise that McCain and 13 other senators reached last month to avert a showdown on judicial filibusters.

Perkins said those who joined the so-called Gang of 14 risked "political repercussions."

The face of a Democrat...
In light of a few disheartening posts I feel compelled to start this one.

How does one know what a Democrat is?

It might be your doctor, your accountant, the student who lives in the apartment next door.

It might be the mom with four kids, trudging through her day in a beat up sticky seated minivan (personally, that's me).

It could even be the man with "Bubba" on his shirt, stopping in for a beer on his way home from work to discuss the latest faux pas of an idiotic administration. (that would be my husband, his names not Bubba though)

It could be the guy selling you cars, gas, lottery tickets...you never know, unless you care to look, and I get the feeling, sitting here tonight, that many of us don't care, we think that the face of a Democrat must look exactly like us, and in thinking that, we become in a flash, our very worst enemy.

Think about it. Stereotyping is a horrible thing.

[Guava Jelly]

11. DAMN!! that is a hell of a first thread!

Shit!
:thumbsup:
:hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

20. GD, January 6th 2005, this pearl of wisdom

:eyes: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=1473393

"Look, we're all going through the natual stages of grief...
and I believe that many of us are going to linger a while at "really pissed off". But I'm not going to let this failure of our representatives = a failure of the Democratic party. In fact, in light of what I see to be a mockery of justice... this NONelection... this bullshite elevation of the chimp TWICE... this liberal-minded Independent is determined to become a registered Democrat. More active rather than less. I'm not giving up and I'm not going Green. I hope that, after some reflection, you all are with me on this."

"Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of withering, of tarnishing." Anais Nin. Love, making it easy for you. Waiting no longer.

I thought I'd leave the gratuitous self-serving sig line on, just so y'all can see I haven't changed. :hi:

[Guava Jelly]
