Even the Prayer at McCain/Palin Rally is a call to Battle
Dana Milbank reporting: Rage in the Town of Bethlehem

Even the opening prayer was politically charged. "O God, we are in a battle that is raging for the soul of this nation," the preacher said. "You, O God, have raised up Senator John McCain and Governor Sarah Palin for such a time as this." The preacher went on: "Help them, O God, to strengthen our economy, to keep our taxes and spending low . . . and grant them the privilege of being elected the next president and vice president."

2. And discussing these fucked rallies endlessly
is exactly the advertising that they are begging for.

If we talk about the economy, they lose. If they are allowed to distract us, they could win.

9. Please listen to Frenchie - She is absolutely right!
Its the economy - the economy - the economy. If we tell people how the Democratic party can help them during this crisis - we win. If we talk about all this other bullshit - we lose.

3. Holy shit.
God wants you to pay taxes--read your Bible. God can't fix anything. He couldn't fix my dad's brain tumor and he can't fix this economy. Wake the fuck up you loons.

8. Lord, in the name of Our Savior, Jesus Christ, please keep taxes low so the poor can suffer.
Jesus was a tireless advocate for the rich. Thank you, Father, Amen.

:eyes: What a "prayer."

12. "Help them, O God, to strengthen our economy, to keep our taxes and spending low "
I just threw up in my mouth a little!

WTH is wrong with these people??? Do they REALLY think God cares about keeping our taxes and spending low????

In their twisted mind God is like the big republican in the sky who no doubt looks a lot like Reagan!

Not to mention their anointed one George Bush is the one with the out of control spending habits.:eyes:

14. They are not true Christians.
God does not care about money, economy, taxes or politicians. These are only temporary things here on earth. We should only pray for the welfare of our fellow citizens here and around the globe. We are not in a battle for the soul of our nation. They do not really listen to God. They would not know evil if it hit them right in the face. They have twice elected an evil President and Vice President and they are sitting at the head of our nation right now. They are about to do it again. McCain is a liar who is willing to forgo morality to achieve power. I just pray for God to send us an angel because His people are suffering. I think He has answered our prayers and his name is Barack Obama. I pray for our troops to stay safe and to be able to come home soon. We are way overdue for a miracle.
