I hope that somewhere deep down Jesse can appreciate the absurdity of his authoring this column.

[sgtbono2002]

Po Old Jess. Mush mouthed fool.

[Bringbackthedraft]

Jesse? Oh, ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

[ncountylee]

Hey Jesse, how did the Republicans fix those Democrat Counties?

[stylin19a]

This from Mr. Fix-it, the jerk who badgered a judge to keep the polling places in St. Louis open extra hours ?

"We know the values of a politician not by the public prayers he or she attends, but by the priorities supported in his or her budget vote."

Translation: I value politicians by the amount of their budget that ends up in my pocket!

Pundits and politicians tell Democrats that they have a "values" problem -- that people of faith vote against them in large numbers because the Democratic party is seen as secular, or as anti-Christian, or as straying from mainstream values.

Dems turning to experts and polls again it appears. Too bad they aren't grasping what they're being told...they don't just have a "perception" problem, they actually have a lack of morality problem. They ARE largely secular, largely anti-Christian and they do NOT reflect mainstream values. All one has to do is visit democrat websites and try posting something positive about Jesus Christ and one will quickly be disabused of any delusions that democrats are not largely anti-Christian. And if they weren't out of the mainstream then they would not be struggling to push forward agendas through the courts after their efforts to pass votes past the citizens.

The Bible says that you know a tree by the fruit it bears, not by the bark it wears.

When I hear that, I think of Democrat-controlled inner cities.

That's what the Democratic Party "bears.".

[Shimmer128]

poppycock? JJ said poppycock?? I flat don't believe that.
"BS" I could believe. "crap" i could believe. I don't believe he said "poppycock"

THAT is poppycock.

that people of faith vote against them in large numbers because the Democratic party is seen as secular, or as anti-Christian, or as straying from mainstream values.

Oh Bravo Sierra! We vote against them because they are nothing short of communists! Their platform is to turn the USA into a communist utopia.

[Just A Nobody]

Well, thank God he didn't say the "s" word or we would have to hear about it for two days.

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor: he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised."

Jesus was clearly talking about the welfare state in this text.

[Rummyfan]

Al Gore won the popular vote nationally and the popular vote of the majority who cast ballots in Florida on Election Day. He lost Florida because the fix was in, because the Voting Rights Act was not enforced -- and because Republicans turned the recount into an alley fight while Gore played by rules. Then a transparently partisan majority in the Supreme Court violated its own principles and shamed itself by ordering an end to a fair count, worried Bush might lose. This wasn't about faith; it was about will.

Delusional.......

[American in Singapore]

If you keep having to tell yourself to have substance and values, then you don't have them.

Keep blabbing all the way to 2008, Jesse. And when Hispanic Americans achieve clear #1 minority and victimhood status, don't let the door hit your butt on your way out.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Give that man another Budweiser franchise.

[altura]

Poppycock is...I dunno... such a Black word.

[rhombus]

Ah yes..."the fix was in". Jesse knows all about "the fix" so of course he sees it everywhere.

[poobear]

" A man of religion, displaying all the signs of piety, sees the victim and crosses to the other side of the road."

Man in the mirror Jesse?

[LonePalm]

Excellent article.

I hope the Democrat party takes it to heart.

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

[Fresh Wind]

He lost Florida because the fix was in...

Bull****. Gore lost because Moonbat Nader siphoned 97,000 votes away from Prince Albert.
