Lest we forget: Bush predicted NO casualties
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A49088-2004Oct20.html

The Rev. Pat Robertson said President Bush dismissed his warning that the United States would suffer heavy casualties in Iraq and told the television evangelist just before the beginning of the war that "we're not going to have any casualties."

1. He's thinking that 2000 isn't really worth mentioning, it's just
about none in the scheme of things.

2. Right down the memory hole.
These people were wrong about literally everything.

And, accountable for nothing.

3. Pat Robertson believed George Bush?
Well, if he did, he is more ridiculous than I thought. Pat has millions, where were his advisors? Probably counting the latest offerings.

6. If you don't read a newspaper, and if your henchmen don't tell you
what's going on, there are no casualties.

Let's face it. We know he's stupid, but he's not that stupid. It seems pretty apparent that he honestly and simply doesn't give a shit.

Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Lincoln, FDR ... just have to be doing 360 rpm in their graves. Perhaps the biggest enabler of all is Bush senior who has seen war first hand, and has not slapped the shit out of his despicable son.

8. I happened to catch Pat Robertson the other night
for a few moments, watched out of curiousity...
he spent more talking about the Republican agenda than he did Jesus.
WTF?
I'm getting sick of the assumption I hear over and over again that somehow God likes one party better than the other.

They want to spout the words of Christ all day long to justify their prejudice and intolerance, but couldn't listen to Christ when he said, "If you enemy smite thee, turn the other cheek."
Pat Robertsons of the world think it is voting Christian to support a warmongering party and president.
They rave on and on about abortion but how many people has their president murdered in Iraq?
ever heard of "Thou Shalt Not Kill"?
that was a pretty big one, but apparantly that part doesn't count as much as the one or two lines buried in the old testament about gays being evil//// These idiots call themselves Christian, but they are the furthest thing from it. Maybe we should start leaving pamplets at the doorsteps of our local churches that read in bold letters:
WARMONGERS GO TO HELL. ALONG WITH THE PEOPLE WHO VOTED FOR THEM.
