Billy Graham Offers Prayer for Romney
ABC/Yahoo ^ | 10/11/12

Posted on 10/11/2012 3:58:05 PM PDT by markomalley

Evangelist Billy Graham told Mitt Romney today that he would do anything he could to help his candidacy. The two met at Graham's North Carolina home.

Near the end of thirty minute meeting, Graham led a prayer for the Romneys and said, "I'll do all I can to help you. And you can quote me on that," according to a Romney aide who sat in on the private meeting.

Graham is 93 years old and is in frail health - he was hospitalized over the summer after he came down with bronchitis. He has had prostate cancer and been diagnosed with Parkinson disease.

But today Graham appeared upbeat during the meeting with Romney and Graham's son, Rev. Franklin Graham. Graham was seated in a big leather chair as he chatted with Romney about his late father, George Romney, who died in 1995 after suffering heart attack while working out on a treadmill. The elder Graham considered George Romney to be a friend, according to an aide.

I’m so outraged by Senator Sherrod Brown’s campaign ad!
Ohio- Just saw a campaign ad by some GM workers, “In Sherrod Brown we trust” they said.
Notice the error in that statement?

Billy Graham must surely now clearly see the nightmare that has been unleashed upon us by Obama and his whole regime, and the Democrats in general.

Surely God will hear Billy Graham’s prayers and put Mitt Romney in the White House?

Rev. Graham knows all about Mormonism (and does not in any way support or promote it as a faith path for anybody)....But ... he sees the political choice we have ... and he realizes Gov. Romney is 1000 times better for America than the alternative.

God Bless Billy Graham!

Please help get out the vote!

Props to you. You called for this. Maybe someone on the Romney campaign is a Freeper and saw your thread. I certainly did. Who can say?

Maybe the Lord has Billy around for one more vote before his time arrives.

As should everyone. We don’t want a civil war.

I understand that Billy Graham organization removed Mormons from its cult list. Check it out.
