Democrats Are Risking Political Damnation

errr...shouldn't that be stage right Foxy?

Foxy, What do you think inspires Bush's stand on stem cell research.

"I believe God has called us into action. Our country has got a responsibility, we are a great nation, we are a wealthy nation, we have a responsibility to help a neighbour in need, a brother and sister in crisis."

Bush believes he was called by God to lead the nation at this time, says Commerce Secretary Don Evans, a close friend who talks with Bush every day.

George W. Bush told a Houston, Texas, Baptist church that he believed that he had been chosen by God to be a good steward of the nation. In San Antonio, Texas, Alamo City Christian Fellowship pastor David Walker says that as a group of local church leaders prayed over George W. Bush they felt a divine presence anointing the occasion. "We felt God's presence and that He might do something for the nation," he recalls.

In Dec. 2002, New York Times columnist Paul Krugman reported that House Majority Leader Tom Delay had openly admitted he was "on a mission from God to promote a 'biblical worldview' in American politics." On Monday, the Washington Times revealed that DeLay "is about to announce his own legislative agenda."

Gen Boykin has repeatedly told Christian groups and prayer meetings that President George W Bush was chosen by God to lead the global fight against Satan.

He told one gathering: "Why is this man in the White House? The majority of Americans did not vote for him. He's in the White House because God put him there for a time such as this...Gen Boykin told NBC that he would be curtailing his speeches to religious groups. "I don't want to come across as a Right-wing radical," he said."

Yes, how is it that when the Saudis deny any deal with Bush about dropping oil prices before the election that everyone here doubts their honesty, for the reasons expressed earlier...they have good and obvious motive to be untruthful but when a foreign paper quotes a Palestine Authority source as saying that Bush said something, it should be believed? Ha'aretz is Israel's most prominent newspaper, also pro-US, and pro-Bush, so there's no small credibility there, unless of course you just don't like any foreign newspaper Just curious.
