Gee--check out the photos from AP. Everyone has a crucifix behind Kerry.

[NativeNewYorker]

Well, this is in keeping with the theme that only Democrats are allowed to use religious imagery without invoking screams of "church and state".

[God luvs America]

Let's see if they refer to kerry as a "dangerous, religous zealot" the way they do our President....a man who actually practices what he believes.

The fact is kerry is in big trouble with fellow Catholics; the Catalyst, a monthly Catholic magazine, has destroyed him the past three issues.

[nmh]

Catholics ought to like that ... .

Well in contrast with the SCUM over at DU after the vile hate they have been posting about President Reagan, I have to say that I respect Kerry for this decision.

[sharktrager]

Please...take pictures of me not campaigning while I deliver this prepared statement that is not a campaign speech.

If he was sincere, he wouldn't have had a photo-op to get the word out.

[Peach]

Kerry will only suspend campaigning for a few days to get a rest, not out of respect for President Reagan.

No one has paid attention to Kerry in weeks anyway. I didn't even realize he was still campaigning; I thought all he was doing was bike riding.

[atomicpossum]

Is he running for President or Pope? Or is this just in line with his messianic view of himself ('Do you know who I am?')?

[sawmill trash]

Gee--check out the photos from AP. Everyone has a crucifix behind Kerry.



I "heard" that right before kerry said whatever they quoted him as saying, he was pointing at that Crucifix and saying "thats what I'm going to do to Bush ! "

[SpeakingUp]

I fail to understand why the pictures show a crucifix. It does not impress me that he posed in front of one and I should think it may offend the Kerry base. I am catholic and a Bush supporter.

"Ronald Reagan and many of us disagreed on one issue or another, but he always disagreed with a smile, without partisanship," Kerry told reporters after attending church.

This will be the Democrat mantra this week.

...any time you and I question the schemes of the do-gooders, we're denounced as being opposed to their humanitarian goals. It seems impossible to legitimately debate their solutions with the assumption that all of us share the desire to help the less fortunate. They tell us we're always "against," never "for" anything.

Ronald Reagan - The Speech

Man that is shameful.

This is a guy who approves of homosexual unions, and who is agreeable to a procedure in which the brains of a living child are sucked from its skull.

[GradientEcho]

Well, he has his back to it because he'll burst into flame if he faces a crucifix for very long. You would have thought being immersed in running water at Chappaquiddick would have done in Ted Kennedy, they must make the evil undead of sterner stuff these days.

Just kidding.

In reality, suspending overtly political action is in his best interests, the less he says and the more the media campaigns for him the better he will do. Plus, it will give him more time to crib more policy from GWB and come up with more ways to say "But it will work better if I do it."

"Ronald Reagan and many of us disagreed on one issue or another, but he always disagreed with a smile, without partisanship,"

Pot calling kettle black.

[WorkingClassFilth]

Jean is shoring up the thin veneer concealing his anti-Christ and anti-Catholicism with a carefully staged backdrop. RATs are being very sensitive about what the general public knows already - RATs serve the same purposes of hell.

[don-o]

What is up with him and his hand?

[the Deejay]

Can't look at Kerry's face. (The cross is nice.)

[Helms]

Kerrys photo-op with The Christ, Priceless.

[Barnacle]

At least AP had the sense not to publish one with Qerry's arms outstretched and his head hanging down.

(If you would like to be added to my Catholic Ping List, send a Freepmail.)

[Congressman Billybob]

This is a dangerous tactic Kerry is engaging in. It is his contradictions and arrogance that are keeping him down in the polls. What if he stopped campaigning altogether until the election? Would that give him a chance to win?

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Latest Article, "Memorial Day, 2004." Although this was written before President Reagan died, it is filled with the philosophy that he lived by.

[EGPWS]

Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry said Sunday that he was suspending "overtly political" campaigning in the coming days in observance of former President Reagan's death.

In doing so, he is playing the political cards and hoping his decision will help him increase his poll numbers.
