He said he had been aware his staff was drawing up plans for the firings but did not recall taking part in discussions over which people would actually be told to go.

Woody Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Bevin ... You can't get a job as a politician unless you have a poor memory. Do you remember the "read my lips". It is not party specific in case you were wondering. History has proven that. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.

Dr. Shane Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 The problem is that many are looking to trap others in pergery so it is much easier to say one doesn't remember than to say something that could be mistaken.

Moderators Gerr Posted March 31, 2007 Moderators Share Posted March 31, 2007 Ah, but (forgive me Bevin for trying to read your mind), what rankles Bevin (myself included) is that the party that has taken the mantle of religion has proven to be no less crooked than party of the left, which to many is the party of Satan.

Dr. Shane Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 The Republicans have not made any claim to being religious. There are individual Republicans, like the current President, that have. However there are also individual Democrats like President Carter and Joe Lieberman that have also. The reason many confuse Republicans with religion is because the Religious Right supports a lot of Republican issues. But just because the Religious Right is mostly Republican doesn't mean that most Republicans are part of the Religious Right. They are not. That would be like saying that since most gays are Democrats, most Democrats are gay. That is not true either. However, I am a religious person and would probably do the same thing. If I have to go in and testify, under oath, before a bunch of senators hoping to trip me up and send me to prison on a purgery charge, I can guarantee I would have some serious memory problems.

Parade Orange Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 and the christian bookstores in our area have 'dubya's' pictures praying over his Bible and the American flag. and when they speak the word 'liberal' they either choke or try not to sneer. Why O why do christians sell their spirtual birthright for a pot of blind partison porridge!

Dr. Shane Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 The Republican party has catered to the Christian base in much the same way the Democrat party has catered to the black base and the gay base. That doesn't mean all Republicans are Christians. Nor does it mean all Democrats are black or gay. The attitudes of many Christians P.O. has described here sound a lot like attitudes among union workers. Union workers typically choke or sneer at the mention of a Republican and tend to consider anyone within their ranks that is a Republican to be a traitor. Quote Pastoral Family Counselor...

Parade Orange Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I dont know anybody that chokes or sneer at the mention of republicans. I left all those people behind when I left the bay area and the gay lifestyle. well... my buddy cant stand republicans and he lives close by but he is quiet about his beliefs. He is no dummy. we dont want to be lynched. I sure like to meet some democrats here. Black or gay or straight or white or off white.

jasd Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 QR frame: >>...the party that has taken the mantle of religion...<< >>...like President Carter...<< I remember the period of the formation of the Trilateral Commission and its subsequent reach for the office of the President... with an observation that a Southerner who could be passed-off as 'religious' would win the '76 election (credit Zbigniew Brzezinski). Enter, li'l ol' Jimmy Carter, one-term Guvn'r of Georgia. Though Republicans embraced the "religious right", their embrace could hardly be compared to the cynical use of 'religion' which accompanied Carter to the White House. / The 'theologian' most admired by Carter was R. Niebuhr ... certifiably Marxist. / He is on record as denying the resurrection of Jesus... / as well His virgin birth. / etc. The "mantle"? was it really relinquished?
