I don't get it. People see their votes changing before their eyes, and they assume
it's some kind of machine error or political mischief. Why can't they accept the reality of the situation? God is correcting their errors for them, changing their Satanic Democratic votes into Godly Republican ones, and thereby no doubt saving their souls as well as divinely intervening in the electoral process.

1. LOL... Did you hear about Pat Robertson and yoga mantras?
Edited on Sat Dec-01-07 01:44 PM by ClassWarrior
KO reported on Countdown the other night that Evil Uncle Chuckles was telling his minions not to practice yoga because, when they chant the mantras, they could be saying prayers to Hindu gods without even knowing it.

So?... Is he afraid the Hindu gods are going to hear those prayers?? And if, as he'd be likely to say, those Hindu gods can't hear them because they don't exist, what does it matter?? Doesn't that fact make those mantras just pleasant sounds to anyone who doesn't speak Hindi??

:eyes:

Anyway, howya doin', JR? :hi:

NGU.

3. Yeah, I did hear that yoga bit.
Robertson isn't nuts himself (he's psychopathic, not psychotic), but he counts on his followers being pretty wacko.

Doin' fine, CW. Watching the snow starting to pile up.
