Drudge is sliming Kerry again! |
|
**KERRY NOT SURE GOD ON AMERICA'S SIDE
At the debate today:
Is God on America's side?"
KERRY: Well, God will -- look, I think -- I believe in God, but I don't believe, the way President Bush does, in invoking it all the time in that way. I think it is -- we pray that God is on our side, and we pray hard. And God has been on our side through most of our existence.
Where is there anything wrong with what Kerry said?
Does someone know where Drudge lives?

1. It's like the 'Operator' game... |
|
"I don't believe, the way President Bush does, invoking it all the time in that way."
becomes...
"I don't believe what President Bush does about God."
becomes...
"I don't believe God is on our side."
becomes...
"God is on THEIR side."
and so on.

16. Oh dear, Kerry's getting "Gored" again |
|
We're going to see a million Poliers and doctored photos by the times this election ends.

2. I hope Kerry adapts Edwards' answer once Edwards is out. |
|
Edwards handled this question much better.

He told an anecdote about the Civil Rights movement (I think) and concluded by quoting someone's wish that "we always be on God's side."
Edwards' rhetorical skill when it comes to spirituality is one of his biggest assets.

5. Edward's answer was great |
|
He told of someone (sorry I don't remember who) that was asked to close with a prayer that God would be on our side. This person said he would not pray that prayer, but would instead pray that "We would be on God's side."
It was PERFECT!

7. It was an Abraham Lincoln quote |
|
Used beautifully and effectively by John Edwards.
When Lincoln was asked by a General to pray that God be on our side, Lincoln said no, but I will pray with you that we are on the side of God.

I had a brain fart. It was a perfect response. As a Kerry supporter, I immediately said, "DAMN! I wish Kerry had thought of that!" LOL

20. God I love John Edwards! |
|
We really need to nominate this man. Bush wouldn't have a prayer against him.

...you DO know that there IS a candidate who will NEVER have dirt dug up on him, right??
It's not too late to support the only candidate ABLE to fight corporate waste: The man you all love to love-and-dismiss, DENNIS J KUCINICH!
We can influence the platform in July if we are strategic in our voting-- so what do we have to lose?
Well, big brother, for one. A bloated Pentagon Budget, NAFTA and the WTO, Corporate welfare... ...I guess we have ALOT to lose after all!
All the more reason to support DK!

10. Proper answer to a BS question like that |
|
(although I didn't see the debate and don't know the context):
"I will leave that to the theologians."

11. The Lincoln quote was excellent; so was Sharpton's response |
|
Sharpton said that Bush thinks that he and America are the same thing and they are not. The implications was that Bush thinks he and God are the same person and of course they are not.

13. Look for the two Pat Robertson fans for Kerry to scratch their heads |
|
Thanks Drudge for more simpleton garbage to furthur prove to the American people that you are a partisan neoconpoop.
Rush will lead with the story tomorrow. Hannity is crapping in his pants that the story has legs. Fox News is getting the graphics guy to make an over-the-shoulder graphic with a split screen of Jesus and JK with the title "Kerry is against God?"
What an industry.

14. Did Anyone Else Immediately Think of Bob Dylan? |
|
Oh my name it is nothin' My age it means less The country I come from Is called the Midwest I's taught and brought up there The laws to abide And that land that I live in Has God on its side.
Oh the history books tell it They tell it so well The cavalries charged The Indians fell The cavalries charged The Indians died Oh the country was young With God on its side.
Oh the Spanish-American War had its day And the Civil War too Was soon laid away And the names of the heroes I's made to memorize With guns in their hands And God on their side.
Oh the First World War, boys It closed out its fate The reason for fighting I never got straight But I learned to accept it Accept it with pride For you don't count the dead When God's on your side.
When the Second World War Came to an end We forgave the Germans And we were friends Though they murdered six million In the ovens they fried The Germans now too Have God on their side.
I've learned to hate Russians All through my whole life If another war starts It's them we must fight To hate them and fear them To run and to hide And accept it all bravely With God on my side.
But now we got weapons Of the chemical dust If fire them we're forced to Then fire them we must One push of the button And a shot the world wide And you never ask questions When God's on your side.
In a many dark hour I've been thinkin' about this That Jesus Christ Was betrayed by a kiss But I can't think for you You'll have to decide Whether Judas Iscariot Had God on his side.
So now as I'm leavin' I'm weary as Hell The confusion I'm feelin' Ain't no tongue can tell The words fill my head And fall to the floor If God's on our side He'll stop the next war.

15. At first I thought "what a stupid question", then thought of Bob |
|
If it were me and I was a candidate, I would have said "which god?" laughing...

23. What Kerry should have said since he was in New York |
|
I believe in the words of Woody Allen who said "How can I believe in God when just last week I got my tongue caught in the roller of an electric typewriter?"

answer was great. I liked Sharpton's as well. Kerry's wasn't bad, but it wasn't nearly as good as Edwards. Edwards is smooth as hell!
