W's favorite Political Philosipher OUT OF BOUNDS!

[mburbank]

I disagree strongly.

Suppose Lieberman was the candidate. Lieberman made an issue of his faith and the role of his faith in politics. Had W. used scripture to question Lieberman's record in the light of his faith, I would not have objected. I might well have objected to his interpretation of speciffic scripture as it pertained to Lieberman, I might well have objected to him pointing to motes in other peoples eyes before removing the beam in his own, but I would not hve objected to the use of scripture.

Should W or his crew wish to say Kerry is wrong and present the evidnce of their compassion, more power to them. Should W. and his crew wish to apply scriptural ethical arguments to actual positions Kerry as taken, that door is now open.

I think Kerry raises a very valid point. W ran on his faith and touted his compassion. I found W's injection of Jesus into the campaign failry tasteless, as I find Pat Robertsons public declaration that W. has been anointed by God to lead us repulsive. The republican base calls itself "The Religous Right", as if they own faith. I think concidering this, W should not be surprised nor should his people feign shock when he is questioned on the same grounds.
