That must be why you are not promoting or voting for a Democrat in the primaries. Rolling Eyes

You did say this...

You sure you aren't dead? You certainly seem to not have any brain activity.

It's admirable that you're sticking with the assumption that the electoral "body" isn't also corrupted beyond repair, but if there were no obvious holes in this system, then why are there disgruntled voters who were turned away at polling booths?

Donald Trump favorite Bible verse is one Jesus specifically repudiated

Donald Trump was asked about his favorite Bible verse in a Thursday radio interview, and he responded by citing an Old Testament law that Jesus specifically repudiated.

In the interview on news radio WHAM-1180 in Rochester, New York, host Bob Lonsberry asked Mr. Trump whether there was "a favorite Bible verse or Bible story that has informed your thinking or your character through life, sir?"

Mr. Trump responded with a Mosaic law rule an "eye for an eye," mentioned in several books, most prominently Exodus 21, Buzzfeed reported.

"Well, I think many. I mean, when we get into the Bible, I think many, so many. And some people, look, an eye for an eye, you can almost say that. That's not a particularly nice thing. But you know, if you look at what's happening to our country, I mean, when you see what's going on with our country, how people are taking advantage of us ... we have to be firm and have to be very strong. And we can learn a lot from the Bible, that I can tell you."

Unfortunately, an "eye for an eye" is one of the few Mosaic Law verses that Jesus singled out in the Sermon on the Mount as overcome, by the New Covenant that His death and resurrection would seal.

"You have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. But I say to you not to resist evil: but if one strike thee on thy right cheek, turn to him also the other," Jesus says in the famous sermon Matthew 5.

This is not the first time, Mr. Trump, who has suggested the IRS has been auditing him because he is such a strong Christian, has fallen on his face in efforts to appeal to Christians in the Republican Party base.

In a speech at Liberty University, he said that the evangelical school's slogan was from "Two Corinthians," rather than the near-universal spoken conventions of "Second Corinthians" or "the Second Letter of [St.] Paul to the Corinthians."

@bobsal u1553115,
Wouldn't you think someone would have told Trump to quote something from the New Testament? Well, at least if he wanted to maintain the notion he is a Christian.

@parados,
You and your cronies who can't bear disagreement to such a degree that you retreat to sheer personal insult look very, very small.

Is that really all you have to say?

@Lash,
You have said you are voting for a Democrat by the name of Bernie.
You said that dead people vote for Democrats.
You have been a conservative that supported Republicans in the past.
I made a joke about hoping you aren't voting for Democrats because you are dead.

You deny you are voting for Democrats. I respond by saying only a brain dead person would claim they aren't voting for Democrats when they have spent so much time here talking about voting in the Democratic primary.

You accuse me of personal insults. I say you can't understand jokes and also seem to have a problem with reality. You are voting for a Democrat. It doesn't matter what you call yourself. Voting is an act. One you are doing and one you claimed is done by dead people. Good luck with your viciousness toward anyone that disagrees with you. You clearly didn't give it up when you stopped being a conservative.

So maybe he should stop trying to become the Democratic Party's presidential nominee.

Bernie is running as a Democrat. He is a candidate in the Democratic primaries.
If he isn't running as a Democrat it sorta kills your entire rant about him being cheated.

Quote:
Responding to Boxer’s criticism during that night’s town hall in New Hampshire, Sanders said, "Of course I am a Democrat and running for the Democratic nomination."

Despite this certainty, Sanders seems uncommitted to being committed to the party. His Senate website and press materials continue to label him as an "independent" while his campaign website lists him as a "Democratic candidate." In his home state of Vermont, there is no party registration.

So can Sanders accurately claim to be unaffiliated with a political party while still running for the Democratic nomination and sometimes calling himself a Democrat?

It may seem oxymoronic, but yes, he can.

I guess the answer to "Why can Bernie just use the party for his own ends without any loyalty or obligation?" is, 'Because he can'. Wotta country, huh?

Seriously can not wait for the primary to end. What the heck does that kind of stuff do for the discourse? I'm sick of the partisan behavior on both sides.

I want my friends back. Politics has gotten too dang mean.
