Imagine if we counted all the people who aren't eating because they can't afford food!

[SLCPUNK]

1. You

Have got to be kidding me!

LOL!!!

[LynneSin]

2. Welcome to DU

and no - I'm not kidding. YOu can sign up and fast for him too!

:welcome to DU:

[historian]

3. oh good i can help

Id like to volunteer to wire their mouths shut so they wont eat and/or talk for forever!!!

[Initech]

4. How can praying/fasting for Dumbya be considered non-partisan?

Wow, the amount of non sequitors and straw mans on here I've read about Bush (today alone) could fill an entire encyclopedia.

[jane_pippin]

5. We could pray he doesn't fuck things up more?

:shrug:

edit: felt like it.

[Initech]

9. Well, there's always that!

[Nikia]

29. I was thinking that too

Praying and fasting that he will stop doing things that are destructive towards the country and perhaps doing a couple of good things (I know that one is probably like asking God to raise someone from the dead).

[KFC]

6. I am doing the reverse - puking for bush

Plus - wtf - "the holiness of" bush.

[AirmensMom]

7. Are they KIDDING?

Non-partisan, my ass! And what "holiness" are they talking about? :puke: We have some very sick puppies in this country.

[madinmaryland]

8. Do these folks get the Darwin Award

for helping to thin the herd?

This is just insane!

[IA_Seth]

10. I'm not fasting....but.

I'm not fasting but I sure did just lose my appetite.

PUKE!

These freakin people...

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

11. Good. Keep fasting. Seriously, the true believers should all fast.

No feeding tubes allowed.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

15. Amen honey.

:rofl:

[Call Me Wesley]

12. Ahhhh ...

[LynneSin]

13. I'll sign up for that one - I had Pizza today

[noonwitch]

19. That, I can do

Well, maybe after dinner.

[johnnie]

14. Oh..that sucks

From that page:
"May God's name be lifted up
during this Presidency,
and may there be
thousands fasting daily."

They have a prayer on the page that asks God to have "thousands fasting daily" and then it says there are 44 fasting today. If God didn't answer their prayer for "thousands fasting daily", then how in the hell do they think God will answer their prayers for georgie boy?

[LynneSin]

17. But there are thousands fasting daily for Bush

Unfortunately they didn't sign up at the website

:cry:

[jmowreader]

28. Fasting is voluntary

Not eating today because, thanks to Bush's economy, you can't afford food does not count.

[sinkingfeeling]

16. How many aren't eating because Bush makes them toss their food?

[AirmensMom]

18. There's and email address where they apparently invite

comments and questions. I'm sorely tempted to write to them. How stupid do they have to be to believe this murdering, lying bastard is "holy?" It makes me want to puke, cry, and scream all at once.

[Midlodemocrat]

20. I did write them.

This is what I sent.


Are you kidding?

This man is responsible for the slaughter of thousands of innocent Iraqis and you think he is Godly? He is the most decidedly un-Christian person on the planet. Do yourself and your moronic minions a favor; get your head out of your ass and read the PNAC website. It's all there, dude. His plan to essentially destroy the entire Middle East for oil.

How incredibly stupid are you people? He is a murdering, lying thug and you should be ashamed for supporting him.

[AirmensMom]

21. That's good!

:applause: :yourock:

You just about took the words out of my mouth. Only I was going to add that perhaps they should have a refresher course on the book of Matthew. (Then again, I doubt they bother to read their Bibles very much.)

Make sure and post your reply. That is, if they have the guts to respond to you.

[Midlodemocrat]

23. Thanks.

I've firing off a lot of these angry emails lately. Hope I don't end up in Gitmo.

[AirmensMom]

25. We'll all be there together.

:hug:

I'm about to send this. Tell me what you think. Am I going to Gitmo?

This is a joke, right?

Wait a minute -- this man who needlessly kills and maims thousands of innocent people while spewing lies to justify his actions is HOLY? I suggest you go back to your Bibles and re-read Matthew. You might as well be endorsing Satan as to pray for the "holiness" of this man. It's time to fire your preacher and get one who preaches the word of God. Remember the part about "Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall see God?" Then go to the part where Jesus says "Thou shalt not kill." And when you're done worshipping this killer, you can start re-learning all those boring parts about feeding the poor. If you're going to call yourselves Christians, how about getting back to the teachings of Jesus Christ, instead of this cult-worship of an evil man?


Edit: Yep, I sent it. If I disappear, you know where I am. Hopefully, they won't punish harleydad too.

[Midlodemocrat]

33. Excellent! If you do disappear, we know where to look!

[AirmensMom]

39. Thanks.

I was feeling a little nervous after I sent it.

[LaraMN]

22. I'd rather see Bush fasting for 44 days.

O8)

[bikebloke]

24. Forty-four's a start

Let's hope they stick with it a la Bobby Sands.

[grace0418]

26. I doubt they'll have a movement while they're fasting.

Maybe they don't know how the digestive system works.

[Left Is Write]

27. How does their not eating have any affect on him?

[jukes]

30. wish it was

44,000 & they kept it up till they carpentered.

[Broken_Hero]

31. what is funny...is ...

a LOT of my wifes coworkers, before the prez election in 2004, fasted along with their various churches, to pray that GWB wins the election...I thought it was hiliarious, until GWB won, damn it...maybe i should have fasted..:sarcasm:

[graywarrior]

32. He takes my appetite away when I look at his face, here his

voice, see his wife, see or hear about or from anyone tied to his administration. He makes me feel bulimic.

[NMMNG]

34. Ah geez, that crap is still going on?

:eyes:

If I thought fasting would do any good I'd fast to get his sorry a$$ out of office.

[Oeditpus Rex]

35. I sense a dichotomy here

They don't eat, yet they swallow his bullshit.

[ashling]

36. and yet,

he doesn't seem to be able to lose any weight.

[LynneSin]

37. Only 28 people fasting today

:cry:

How can we help Bush if we don't join the fast?

[xmas74]

41. Good.

I'll eat pancakes from Country Kitchen in their honor.

Do you think we should take a collection and have pizzas delivered to them? I bet they end their fast pretty damn fast if they have a free pizza thrown in their faces.

[Deja Q]

38. Boy, if all 300 million of us did that...

it wouldn't matter too much. There'd still be over 6 billion people on the planet and the middle class is being slowly whittled away.

I'm going to eat while I still can. Sorry. I worry we'll all be fasting and not of our own accord by 2007.

[Rabrrrrrr]

40. That would be the "Fast *Because Of* Fuckstick" program.

[pointblank]

42. This is a farce

there is no way that someone is that loony....right?

[RedCloud]

43. They are praying for thousands to fast...

Only 44. It looks like food is more important than faith to his hefty followers.
