Yeah. 65 million people. You better get a reality check also.

Let me confirm this: You're saying there are 65 million people who
believe
this rapture bull****, and that's OK with you?



As I said 65 million people? You better get a reality check also.



You're a slippery devil. It's not worth my time to even guess at the
actual
number, or read backward. The issue is THE BELIEF these people hold, and
that they are willing to manipulate politics to support that belief.
Basing
your voting on belief in a war or bad grammar is one thing. Basing it on
religion puts you in the category of "get measured for a straightjacket".


The fact that you believe that 65 million believe this is what's scary!

The numbers don't matter. You know that. If they have the president's ear,
it's a problem. We already meddle too much in the Middle East because of
natural resources and egotistical reasons. Adding a wacko religion to our
motives is simply not acceptable.

I have not heard anybody say that Bush isn't their President... is this
the new buzzword from hate-spew radio?

I'm not the one who is tossing the 65 million number around as though it is
gospel! Seems to me you've been confirming the hell out of that number!!!!

Now, if you *believe* that Bush is being influenced by these folks in such a way
that he will soon start lobbing nukes around the world so he can enjoy a
'rapture', then I think you should invest in a bomb shelter, get in it, and stay
off your computer. Someone is probably recording everything you say.

Does your comment somehow negate the fact that there are millions of
loonies
walking around who actually believe this rapture nonsense, and are
willing
to manipulate politics here and overseas to fit their hallucinations?

That has nothing to do with the original subject of this thread.


Just as pertinent to anything, however!

Go get more coffee, John. Pertinent to anything? Anything???


Yeah, anything.

Nah...not really. If Bush-1 had been reelected, I could've been comfortable
with him even if I disagreed with some of his ideas. But, when a politician
steps over a certain line, I disown them. If I was in the military, GWB came
to my base for a photo op, and my CO said "We need you to shake hands with
him for the cameras", I'd choose latrine duty or prison if that was the
penalty for refusing to obey the order.

Maybe so, but that doesn't change the facts on the ground. It didn't
change anything for the Clinton-haters.

Just think, if the National & American Leagues hadn't been so squeamish
about letting a Jesus-babbling ex-drunk be Commissioner of Baseball, we
wouldn't have to suffer GWB as President of the whole country.

Please. You're confusing Calif Bile.

Yup, I am confused. first you people state 65 million, then you state
something else. Damn, just like jimcomma. Can not keep the debate
straight.

Makes as much sense as you stating there are 65 mm loonies waiting the
rapture.

Of course... he apparently believes it too, despite his claims of being
a "moderate Democrat."

I am a moderate democrat and voted Libertarian in the last election. Could
not stand Kerry. As to my religion, do not believe in the Rapture and just
believe there is something up there. Look at the world and Universe and
tell me where it came from.
