BUSH AND RELIGION!

Here is more crap throwing on the Republicans BUT I must insert a little qualifying statement. I am not against Republicans per se. I am all for the OLD Republicans and their Republican political philosophy of small government, little governmental interference in people’s lives, fiscal responsibility and staying out of foreign entanglements – remember THOSE Republicans.

Bush is not a Republican. He is someone pretending to be a Republican. I throw crap at him and all the Republicans that support him – they are also NOT Republicans.

As I have said before, Democrats scare me but to get back to political moderation, we need to throw these pseudo Republicans out on their ass so real Republicans will come out of hiding.

Anyway, I need to throw some crap on Bush’s so called religiosity. His faith-based initiative allowing charities to get federal monies even though they discriminate – only help and hire people of their own faith – was very un-Republican – separation of church and state. His “family values” campaign topic was very successful and all his holier than thou horseshit was, I admit, successful and made all those right wing religious kooks come out of the shed and vote.

Now one of his own, David Kuo (religious zealot) with absolute access to the president and the White House, wrote a damning book (at election time?) titled TEMPTING FAITH: AN INSIDE STORY OF POLITICAL SEDUCTION.

Basically he said that he fell for Bush’s holier than thou stance on issues and believed Bush was sincere and could make a difference in the country by following the dictates of his Christian faith.

Well David soon realized that this religion stuff was just for political gain; a plan designed by Karl Rove but TOTALLY HYPOCRITICAL. He overheard them actually call Evangelical leaders “nuts” and “goofy” for their views.

Personally, I have always thought that ole’ Bush was actually sincere about his faith but I guess I can be wrong – sigh!

David Kuo said he was deceived. The Republicans were and are for the rich and screw the poor – not like Jesus would have liked it. David is a little naïve me thinks to see Republicans as champions of the poor and here is where an oxymoron is created: republicans / poor.

Mr. Kuo took his story to “60 Minutes” and everywhere else he could so he could sell his book or alert people about the real Bush and his use of religion strictly to get votes.

Who to believe?
