Praise God And Pass Out The Cash
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | 11/8/4 | Harley Sorensen

Posted on 11/08/2004 8:11:45 AM PST by SmithL

Give credit where credit is due. President George W. Bush's faith-based initiatives did exactly what they were intended to do on Election Day. By giving, or promising to give, taxpayer money to churches, Bush was able to win the support of kinky clergymen everywhere.

His handout to religious groups was so successful that even the Roman Catholic bishops rooted for him. They spent the campaign badmouthing one of their own, John F. Kerry, who never knew what hit him.

The election campaign of 2004 turned out to be exactly as advertised, full of twists and turns, shocks and surprises, and more than a few dirty tricks.

One of the surprises was the inaccuracy of the exit polls on election day. Exit polls are famous for their accuracy, because they measure what is rather than what might be. They're almost always 100 percent accurate. The one exception is when George W. Bush is running for public office. Then the polls are off.

Could it be, could it possibly be, that the exit polls were accurate and the vote-counting off a wee bit? Naw, perish the thought. The Bushies play hardball, but they wouldn't cheat, would they?

I have to admit that the difference in Vietnam War records didn't turn out the way I expected. I thought going in that Kerry, the war hero, would crush Bush, the war zero, but I reckoned not on the legions of Swift Boat veterans who turned on one of their own.

I see the sore losers will still be nursing their wounds with delusional rationalization for some time to come.

How quaint.

The insanity continues. I hope they keep it up. We'll keep winning.

I remember well how miserable I was when Bill Clinton won his first term, and even more so when he was reelected. But I can honestly say that I was never as depressed as some the lefties are these days. I guess if you think Kerry was a "war hero" you probably have some other ideas running around inside your head that cause you problems too. And I guess if you don't see the irony of the Swift Boats Vets coming out to tell of their experiences with Kerry that you also have no problem saying that Republicans are cheaters when it comes to elections. Harley needs to suck it up and tough it out! We had to four eight long years and we lived through it.

I love to see them whining.

It's better than us doing the same.

More insane ramblings from a Fudge Packer for Kerry, suffering from aids dementia. Sorenson spends his time writing lies to push the gay agenda or to attack GW.

I sent Harvey this lovely note and invite all y'all to do the same.

Dear Harvey,

Your drug induced delusion is starting to show. My suggestion to you is to get off the tranquilizers. It’s starting to affect your judgment.

Your friend,

Juan

The left have been trying to silence the Christians for a long time. They forbid the Ten Commandments in court houses to Christmas lights on public property.

They really thought they could silence the Christian heart.

These gay activists and haters of America like Moore are the best news we have for the upcoming 2006 elections.

They will make the 2006 election into what they claimed this election was, and it really wasn't. They will drive voters to our side. That will mean more Republicans in the US Senate, House, governors and in the legislatures across the nation.

Here are his arguments:

1. Bush bribed the evangelicals to vote for him
2. The exit polls were right but Bush cheated
3. The Swift Boats turned on one of their own (as if Kerry was one of their own).

Clearly, this guy is delusional.

"Bush was able to win the support of kinky clergymen everywhere."


Really? So the sodomite hamster humpers at Glide Memorial voted for Bush? That is what was meant by 'kinky clergymen' isn't it?

They lost and can't get over it. The shrinks in SF will make great money just in time for Hannukah with all the libs needing therapy.

So, Harley admits that our government's handing out cash to special interest groups earns their votes?

Wonder what kind of effect handing out welfare and entitlement checks has on elections?

LOL!

FReeper Shryke made that comment in response to someone's query, "If Al Gore had been George Bush and vice versa..."

I liked the response so much, a tag was born!
