U.S. 'Bible Belt' boosts Bush, Republicans

[ECH1969]

Retired school teacher Martha Bobbitt thinks President George W. Bush is a good Christian with the right values. If he's gone wrong in Iraq, it won't change her vote.

But for millions of Americans, support for Bush runs deeper than the debate over the direction of the war on terrorism and can be summed up by what his backers view as old-fashioned conservative values.

Support for the troops, the president and the war run hand in hand with a deep belief in the Christian faith while Democrats are viewed as lacking the fiber to defend the American way of life under threat from radical Islam.

"I support the president. I think he is a fine Christian man and his morals and values represent our country to a wonderful degree," said Bobbitt, in a view echoed by others at a recent rally in Dublin for Republican congressional candidate Mac Collins.

8. so they just don't care what happens , it's all about BELIEF

just like that stupid intelligent design crap. no matter what evidence you show them, it doesn't matter. what matters is their belief. they aren't going to let something like evidence, proof, facts get in the way of their belief.

and that's what makes them such great moral people. they stand by what they believe unlike the flipfloppers.

ignorant asses.

9. The bible belt are just more of the rapture crowd

Too bad they don't look at www.icasualties.org and see how their "Christian" is slaughtering our troops and innocents.

10. Sad little lemmings. Why can't they just secede and leave the rest of us alone?

I don't care what they believe. I don't care what they do. But why is their choice of ridiculous government what the rest of us get stuck with?

11. I another time and place these people would have made good Deutsche Christens

"German Christians" (Deutsche Christen) march to a worship service at the Berlin Cathedral while SS guards stand at attention. At the lead are members of the movement in party and SA uniforms, followed by pastors. Their banners—designed to resemble the Nazi party's"national flag"—placed the swastika at the center of the Christian cross.

14. thank God she retired, now maybe she WILL read her Bible...

Matthew 7:
15."Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16.By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17.Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18.A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19.Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20.Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
