I guess it doesn't matter what God he worships as long as he hates them homos! We've had to put up with 7 years of a child in the White House because these idiots care more about who their nieghbor is fucking then they do about whether or not they can afford to get sick or lose their jobs. Wake up people, wanting to have a beer with a candidate doesn't necessarily make them qualified to run the country. I don't give a rats ass about their personality, I just want to know if they are intelligent enough to do the job. If the biggest thing they care about is other people's sex lives, then no, they aren't.
I will be pushing for gay marraige just to piss them off. They owe me for 7 years of my, and over 3000 soldiers, lives.
haven't you people figured that out by now?!
Robertson's popularity peaked in the late eighties and he STILL couldn't get elected! Dobson's threatening to throw his vote away because he can't stand to vote for anyone who doesn't hate gays as much as he does. I think we're finally witnessing the demise of the culture wars!
You never would have seen this a decade ago. I wonder if they see it coming too?
After all, that worked out so well last time!
I hope he'll remember that if Hillary wins next year! Robertson has been falling off the christian map for 15 years now, I don't know that his endorsement means all that much these days. Dobson holds more sway and I still don't believe that christian voters will just go along with what their leaders say when it comes to who to vote for. Sure hating gays and sticking your nose into other people's bedrooms is fun but this is an election, they have to be realistic here.
Why can't the right just admit they hate gays? They constantly villify them for political gain, they think making laws against them should be a political priority, they think pulling them out of schools is necessaty. Why not just go all the way and call for their deaths? We can all see it. We aren't going to think any less of you because we can't.
As for this "All laws are morality" crap, this is the excuse they all use to justify making intrusive laws that don't serve any purpose, like regulating other people's sex lives. Yes, all laws come from morality, but not all laws are necessary or serve a purpose.
Is this the same economic genius that thought it was a good idea to give mortages to the homeless and then acted surprised when they couldn't pay it off? Are you sure the republicans are the party of fiscal responsibility? Where do you begin? Let's start with the fact that republicans are supposed to be the party of LESS GOVERNMENT but think the government should be telling people what their familes are supposed to look like. Do these people even have principles anymore?
I'm being serious. I used to post on the (now defunct) Yahoo! message boards and ALL of the hate posts were from conservatives. Yes, the bastions of "moral values" had no problem calling for the deaths of gays (and accused them of creating some kind of molesting kids manifesto), complaining about too many blacks in the inner cities, and wanting to "hate fuck" Nancy Pelosi.
A previous conservative troll on here used the old "liberal double standard" when it came to free speech (you know the one, where we believe in free speech until you say something we don't want to hear). But of course the moment you question the Iraq war, Bush, or say so much as a cuss word, we all know how well they stand by their belief in it don't we? Maybe these people who are so concerned about "politcal correctness" (and you will never convince me it's a real issue) should go back and look at some of the "immoral" things their own have said. But of course that would mean facing their own hypocracy, wouldn't it?
...to anyone related to Clinton. They would let bin Laden go free if Clintons fourth cousin twice removed had died on 9/11. I mean, anyone related to Clinton deserved to get raped, right? He cheated on his wife, moral absolutes have to be upheld. Therefore anyone related to Clinton is the spawn of Satan.
These people's "morality" is a joke!
then perhaps they should look into their precious "Discovery Institute". This place has made no secret about it's agenda, which has nothing to do with science. Goggle "Discvery Institute" and "Wedge Strategy", it will take you right to their website. A manifesto written in the late nineties shows that they are a social movement, not a scientific one. "ID" was just the beginning of a very extensive plan to shape the country to the mold of a new kind of Christian/Republican educational philosophy that centered more on "culture", that great obsession of the right, and emotional opinion then science and facts.
It was designed to reshape all of academia to create two competing worldviews, the current one, cold and unfeeling and reasoning, and their view, a loving God that gives life meaning. Pretty soon, their view was destined to win out based solely on selling points. And then all of academia would have to discuss everything through a "christian" lens. Returning us to the days before the enlightenment.
I consider this new "setback" on their part a good sign. First they couldn't mention God, then they couldn't even hint about a creator, now they are reduced to trying to challenge evolution based on it's "gaps". If that's the best they can do, there may be hope for us left.
If he really wants to hold onto his million bucks, how about he holds a contest where someone has to prove that Bush actually served his time in the Texas National Guard! He won't go broke with that one!
