3. "How's that working out for you?"
:evilgrin::rofl:

When Pat Robertson ran for President, I just kinda dismissed him in my mind...until I heard him speaking. He referred to one of the people running against him as "my enemy."
Note that:
Not "my opponent", but "my enemy.

THAT'S when I realized this guy was batshit crazy...:hide::yoiks:

He's done nothing since to change my opinion.

34. No prob - straight guys get men crushes!
He is a great guy though. Big guy, big voice for the people, and I think a big heart.

11. The Christian "Right"?!?!
How are we as a species supposed to progress if we keep clinging to our puerile mythologies?!?

And, what happened to "judge not, lest ye be judged"?! Pat Robertson's take on the scriptures seems motivated by his potential for personal gain...

18. Excellent!
The fact that the GOP "ruled" the White House, both houses of Congress, the Supreme Court, and most of the media from 2000 to 2006, and still couldn't or wouldn't pass amendments banning gay marriage and abortion should be heralded all across this land!

Hey, Christian Fundies: "The GOP punked you!"

22. It's quite likely that there are very few people present in

the House Chamber other than him, the camera person, and some clerks scurrying around. Congress critters often speak to mostly empty rooms, unless it's a major issue being discussed.

In Alan's case I picture the GOP fleeing the chamber when they see his name on the list of those scheduled to address the Chamber.

23. This inflamatory rhetoric is divisive
and does not address the core issues of economic disparity that are plaguing this country and the world

27. Learn to pay attention....
Edited on Wed Jan-27-10 06:46 PM by GreenTea
Only complete idiot's and republicans choose not to be aware of the "economic disparity" in Haiti - That's all been well established, visually obvious, 24 hours a day documented & fully exposed.

Nearly as obvious as the usual predictable post trashing Grayson....What Grayson spoke about is always the type of shit that is quickly swept under the carpet...Grayson, thankfully, wasn't going to just let it fade away as so many republicans right-wing Christians want it....Well, enough said, you know exactly to whom I'm speaking of!!
