Although Crist is an important endorsement it is lily's title that really got me...now that would really annoy the Republicans evangelical base!

But then maybe I was getting a subliminal message from the heavens..lol

It has already been explained to us by Mrs and Demi that one does not need to hold the social values of a party or person in order to vote for them.

Now, the fact that it is even a thought much less a comment that the title of this thread would annoy "the Republicans (sic) evangelical base" is just so petty to me.

I will admit I'm obviously not on that wave length as a certain cluster of the posters here, though.

The fact is, conservatives could not care less what liberals call us or think about us. We have more important things to think about and more important things to do, even in retirement years, than to try to annoy other people or speculate about how they might be annoyed.

The fact is, no one on this earth can speak for Jesus Christ and Christians know this.

It's all so silly.
Also, what Charlie CRIST thinks, or who he endorses is of no significance to any conservative I know.

Care to elaborate as to what it tells us?

It says that the selection from your party is terrible. Seems pretty clear.

Ya'll can have him.

But yet we hear it all the time - Christians presuming to know the mind of God, and in some instances getting all up in another's face about it.

Somehow there's a kind of wisdom in never speaking in any one's name but my own. Knowing my own voice is power enough - and it's work for a lifetime.

It says exactly what I meant it to say. What does it tell you when a Republican endorses a Democrat instead of someone from his own party? It tells you what a sad state the Republican party is in. At least, that's what it says to me.

BTW..I'm still getting a chuckle out of my typo..I did it twice and never caught it till others did today. It WAS a long day yesterday. That's my excuse and I'm sticking with it...lol

If you think that desperation for reelection on Christ's part played no part in his party affiliation jump....you are deluding yourself.

The conventional wisdom is that independents are the important votes -- and this would be true in Florida, a so-called battleground state.

If that's what you mean--no, I'm not.

Jesus cared for his fellow people, he cared for the poor and the downtrodden. He also was a community organizer. If he had to chose, it's perfectly clear who he'd vote for.

Got to keep those facts straight, you know, and of course he was a "good Christian as well.

Oops, me bad, he was born a Jew, died a Jew, and it was his followers, not him that created a new Religion.

But I digress, he was a white community organizer, not a black one and he sure as heck cared about his fellow man. He didn't toss them to the street to fend for themselves, live in the gutters and die of disease and starvation.

That wasn't his style.

So what gives with this kind of thinking now that permeates the GOP?

It would make a great campaign ad.
