Keyes Says Christ Would Not Vote For Obama

[Thurston Howe IV]

According to a list of quotes put out by the Democratic candidate, Keyes said in a radio interview at the Republican National Convention that Jesus would not vote for Obama. The quote was part of a list Obama sent reporters of Keyes' accusations and epithets about him since Keyes became a candidate, NBC5 political editor Dick Kay said.

Kay also reported that Keyes called Obama a "socialist and a liar" on a cable access news show on Monday. Obama said he wants to win big to give Keyes a spanking because Keyes wages a scorched earth campaign. Keyes then went into a very long analysis of the word "spanking" and suggested it might be related to slavery and insulting to African- Americans. He would not answer when asked directly if he was insulted.

1. Is Christ registered to vote in Illinois?

:shrug:

I didn't know you could vote in both Texas and another state.

[efhmc]

5. Too cute.

[Born Free]

90. Christ does not know these right wingers that use his name

They may throw his name around and pretend to be his followers but in reality Christ will not know these right wing fanatics that use his name in vain. Likewise Christ will not know the bush coward that also uses his name in vain for political reasons.

[Gman]

47. Yes it IS legal (not) in Texas as long as you're in the military in Del Ri

Del Rio, Texas... check out this bullshit they pulled in 1996:

RELEASE DATE: On or After March 21, 1997 LATINO SPECTRUM by Roberto Rodriguez & Patrisia Gonzales Questionable Military Votes Decide Election in South Texas County

Who has the right to vote in a local election? In the county of Val Verde in South Texas, the issue is in hot dispute. And it's not even summer.

The dispute centers on whether military personnel should be allowed to vote in communities where they do not live or intend to make their home. This case involves mostly officers who at one point were stationed at Laughlin Air Force Base in Del Rio, located in Val Verde County, but now live elsewhere. They are primarily white, while the majority of the residents of Val Verde are Mexican American.

[krkaufman]

52. Hadn't you heard...?

Dead people vote here all the time..! So why not the resurrected, too? :)

[bluestateguy]

2. This election is about cancelling Keyes as a candidate--permanently

Obama wins every county in Illinois.

[barb162]

64. I think Obama can win every county

he's totally cool. But Keyes will try to get another radio or tv show and keep his name in the media and keep those donations pouring in from the biblebeaters.

[efhmc]

3. What a silly, stupd man but as we know we should still take those idiots

seriously.

[MaineDem]

4. If this wasn't so sad it'd be funny!

Good grief!

[eyesroll]

6. Bye-bye, Illinois Republicans.

You're done.

[Thurston Howe IV]

55. Yep, they're toast.

According to a Chicago Tribune/WGN-TV poll conducted between August 13-16, 2004, 29% of Republicans are less likely to vote for Republican candidates because of the way the Republicans chose Alan Keyes.

[barb162]

63. I wish you were right

but I think they will run another candidate with the same ideas but smoother in presentation.

[Norquist Nemesis]

87. Yep, that's what I'm thinking too

Keyes is basically a trial balloon to begin energizing their core base. They knew they wouldn't be able to find a candidate that could legitimately take on Obama so they decided to go to the extreme. The next time around, and far right winger will sound like a moderate compared to Keyes. It's all up from there.

[Thurston Howe IV]

88. You're giving them way too much credit

Keyes is a disaster. The party is in disrepair. If they wanted to energize their base, they could have gone with Oberweis, who actually came in 2nd behind Sex-club Ryan.

You're right about it being all upside after Keyes gets 32% of the vote.

[Norquist Nemesis]

89. I never understood why

they didn't go with Oberwiess. That he came in second, it would seem to me that he would have had a more credibility than that extremist Keyes. Their voters decided Oberweiss...you'ld think they would have enough respect for them to have put him up.

Maybe I am giving them too much credit. I just don't trust them.

[Terran]

96. Don't live in Illinois

(I'm in Missouri), but I'm assuming the reason they didn't run the second-place repub is because of clueless repub thinking about race. In their minds, their only 'hope' was to run an African-American against Obama. Just shows how their conservatism, er, racism, blinds them to the realities of certain situations.

[barb162]

119. That was in fact one of the reasons they ran Keyes

because they figured running a black against a black would show they weren't anti-black. They also figured they could pick up a lot of the black christian vote with Keyes.

[truthspeaker]

98. Oberweiss wasn't extreme enough

Keyes is saying out loud what the GOP base says in private.

[barb162]

118. I suspect the only thing against Oberweis

was the anti-hispanic ads he was running constantly and they knew he was pissing off all of the hispanic vote. Also it disagrees with the Bush plan to legalize the illegal immigrants, so the IL GOP was afraid they wouldn't get the national support from the RNC? I guess they felt Oberweis couldn't win, whereas they felt Keyes, with his national "fame" could win / energize the Republican voters in this state.

[barb162]

115. It fascinates me that they didn't go with Oberweis

because he had the money, the desire, he is very right wing on choice, etc. Yeah Keyes is a disaster, but I found out recently from a very high level GOP person in those meetings at the Union League Club to get a new Senate candidate that only four (FOUR!!!!) people voted against Keyes. That was very disturbing to me. Very disturbing for our state, in my humble.

[barb162]

116. see my post 115

thanks and glad you agree. I don't like what's going on at all with the GOP in IL (or elsewhere). There's too much "stuff" on certain conservative boards that they are mad at Keyes for his evangelical, preaching style, but they aren't angry at all with his central messages. So I really do think more extreme social conservatives will be run by the IL. GOP in the future, but the next time they will make sure the candidates won't have Keyes' bombastic, combative style. They have learned very quickly Keyes is the wrong guy. These people continue to scare the hell out of me.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

7. Keyes is deeply disturbed.

Speaking for religious figures, slavery references, et al. His is a complete lack of impulse control and insight.

You find that in sociopaths. This country is awash in them. Really.

[barb162]

61. he's a damned intolerant religious zealot

and I agree with you on the sociopath stuff; way more of them around than people think

[yardwork]

69. Reminds me of chimpy

[mom cat]

75. Keyes is crazier than AWOL dimson.

:crazy:

[thomas_a]

97. Keyes Is Crazy Like A Fox

I think Keyes "crazy" behavior is very calculated. He knows he has next to no chance of winning but he is not running to win. Keyes makes his living by being a celebrity. He is famous for being famous and needs to keep his name in the media to continue to be so. And, saying ridiculous things is the best way to do so.

[mom cat]

110. Welcome to DU and thanks for your insite. Welcome aboadr!

:hi:

[Thurston Howe IV]

120. Yes, Keyes is in it for the fame => money

By keeping his name in the limelight and saying bombastic, bullshit stuff, he maintains his celebrity status. Just like Ann Coulter, he can continue to rake in the dough by saying crazy-assed things. But I do believe that half of the shit they actually believe. They've just adopted a style that works to keep them in demand for TV and the speakers circuit.

[tinanator]

121. that is the proper explanation for Bill O'Reilly but Keyes is just

an asshole.

[alcuno]

8. Another nail in the coffin of the Illinois GOP.

Are we sure it wasn't the Illinois Dems who recruited Keyes?

[wurzel]

9. When you are the "Keyes" to Heaven you ought to know!

[mom cat]

78. That was so bad that it was good.

:headbang:

[Liberal Veteran]

10. He seems a bit psychotic to me

Should there be an independent verification of psychological status before applying for office?

[da_chimperor]

11. DUers talk about bush using cocaine all the time

but nobody ever talks about keyes smoking crack. Why?

[Khephra]

35. I think mainly because there are people who know Bush who said that

But I can't recall anyone who knows Keyes saying that he used crack.

Personally, I think the guy needs a serious psych exam.

[da_chimperor]

39. Keyes smoking crack

is my preferred explanation for his behavior. It's only a suspicion, but it makes sense to me.

[foo_bar]

46. there's no way he smokes crack

He can go for hours like that. Clinically speaking, his behavior is most concurrent with a diagnosis of "coffee enema toxicity".

[greatauntoftriplets]

12. Notice how he speaks only to his own agenda.

And NOT to that of Illinois voters.

[AlCzervik]

13. You know i'm going to diagree with Keyes

When i was in a focus group with Christ he seemed to lean towards Obama, and BTW, he was none to happy with Bush or the republican party.

[JohnKleeb]

14. He wouldnt vote for you either Alan

Christ Alan, you really do give Catholics a bad name, he wouldnt vote for anyone, its absurd to think god is on one's side, it is more just to hope that you are on god's side to basically paraphrase what Kerry said at the DNC and what Lincoln said.

[Tommy_Douglas]

111. Not only would Jesus not vote...

He'd likely look at what the United States has become and wonder what the hell happened?

[neuvocat]

15. Keyes can't speak for Christ like that.

Keyes needs to just drop out of public life.

[Kadie]

16. Good grief. n/t

[KamaAina]

17. Ummm... let's see... Christ never lived in a democracy?

Thus, the concept "vote" would have had no relevance to Him whatsoever.

Truly, if Alan Keyes did not exist, God would have had to invent him...

[Cha]

18. Christ wouldn't be voting for keyes, either.

But, if he did vote it would be for a Liberal before a rightwing zealot who preaches hate and murder!

[Catfight]

19. This is how Jesus would vote:

Kerry, because he is the underdog, the thoughtful person, the loyal son, the lawful, the truthful, the calm, the better person, the one who turns the other cheek and takes the high road, the one who welcomes the poor into our party, the one who welcomes the outcast, the throw-aways, the tender hearted, the gentle giants, the real.

He'd have voted for Gore, who would have protected the Father's Universe, he would have condemned plants dumping waste in the beautiful waters, he would have condemned Bush's big Tax Break for Hummers and large SUV's...100K tax breaks.

He'd have voted for Edwards, a family man, worked from the bottom up, learned integrity, grit, and what hard work means. Learned the value of being humble, to listen and to fight for what is right, not what is profitable every time.

Jesus would have asked Key on what basis does he throw these accusations at his brother?

He would have asked Bush, why have you talked about your brothers like this? Have I taught you nothing? Have you not listened?


But that'd mean Jesus exist because I fail to believe a just Savior would allow these things to continue without retribution. We shall see I guess.

[quaoar]

20. Alan Keyes

must be off his medication.

Either that or he's been doing those hallucinogenic mushrooms that make you see Jesus coming out of the clouds telling you to build a bunker and stock it with food, water, AK-47s and enough ammo to start Armaggedon.

[DoveTurnedHawk]

21. Keep Talking, Alan

Every time you open your mouth, Obama's lead grows.

:evilgrin:

DTH

[clydefrand]

22. Keyes is all mouth, but no substance

He's a complete idiot! I'll bet Maryland is glad he's gone for a while.

[SideshowScott]

23. One has to wonder what the GOP strategy is in this race...

I mean its obvious they put Keyes up to it because hes black BUT I'm SURE they have another black man who is in the GOP who is not as nutty as Keyes. Are they trying to destroy Keyes by putting him in a race he cannot win? or are they trying to Bait Oboma into attacking Keyes in a way that could be used for the GOP advantage when Oboma rises in the democratic party?
Ether way Keyes cannot win and every time he opens his yap with dumb stuff like this it just makes his chances of even coming close even less so I have to wonder why are they doing this

[TahitiNut]

79. Keyes ran against the Little Emperor in 2000.

"If you're (ever) not with us, you're (always) against us."

The Busholinis always get revenge. This one's conveneint for them. A black man loses, no matter what. Keyes makes it a sideshow, because he's a freak. The Reich's bigot base loves it.

[EST]

95. It's probbly well worth it to the repug party, even if they

totally obviate any chance at an additional seat in Illinois just to get that loopy idiot out from underfoot in the more sensitive areas of their big scheme.

[AP]

24. He couldn't. He's not a US citizen. I'm sure he'd donate, however.

[JoFerret]

25. Keyes is a regular Republican

- totally out of his skull, let alone the so-called mainstream.

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

26. Keyes is the gift that keeps on giving

His own party pays him mere lip service; nobody is spending much money to promote him and that saves money for other Dem races; and every time he opens his mouth he reminds everyone how dangerous the Religious Right is.

I think Barack could stay home with the wife and kids until Election Day and still win.

:party:

[russian33]

27. Once again, I want to thank the RNC from the bottom of my heart..

..for putting Keyes on the ballot! This is more entertaining than stand-up comedy.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

28. Jesus was a Jew. I'm a Jew. We vote straight ticket Dem :)

[demokatgurrl]

31. Me too!

And I also think I can safely say Jesus would have nothing to do with the likes of Bush, Cheney et al.

[stickdog]

29. Keyes & Bush must talk to the same Jesus!

[Lourde_Green]

30. Ugh, I'm gonna be sick

I swear to God. . .Puppet Boy must seriously be pissing off his GOP handlers by going off on this. First they back track and call in someone from MARYLAND (the same guy who took Hillary to task for running in NY) to do this. They figure that because he's black that he has a shot. For the luvapete he's a fucking Unkle TOM!! If they're gonna fake integration, they gotta start small - -to match their minds.

*The king is dead-long live the king*

[demokatgurrl]

33. Nah...

They probably know they are losing big time so they just set him loose.

[ET Awful]

32. I tell ya, between Keyes and Zell, I don't know who's nuttier. . .

they're both pathological, I'm not sure who is worse. :)

[barb162]

65. Zell is nuttier

I thought his head would explode when he was yelling at Chris Matthews. Actually he is such a jerk I was hoping it would explode.

[TankLV]

83. I nominate Keyes and Zell to run on a ticket together for P & VP!

Now THAT would be a hoot!

Problem is, sadly, there are probably millions of idiots who would vote for them both!

Sigh

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

34. I just read this to Mr. Moonbeam

and he said, "There's something wrong with him."

Mr. Moonbeam is the master of understatement, is he not?

[Old and In the Way]

36. Alan Keyes - the Voice of Mainstream Republicanism.

Keep speaking out on the issues Alan! Tell us what you really think, don't hold back!

[IndianaGreen]

42. Actually Keyes is on the fringe of the GOP

right alongside Jerry Falwell. The majority of Republican voters rejected Alan Keyes as a candidate in 2000. Keyes makes Pat Buchanan look like a progressive!

[Old and In the Way]

73. Actually, we should promote Keyes as a mainstream Republican

while he is shunned publicly, he is pretty reflecting the current agenda that this administration is enacting. People should know that when voting for Congressional Republicans. At least he says what he means....he's not running to the middle to get elected.

[snippy]

93. Absolutely. n/t

[stray cat]

37. Bush talks to god, Keyes to jesus, who is covering the holy spirit?

These guys are insulting to Christians and the Christian message.

[EST]

100. I would say Wolfowiscz appears to be the most wraithlike-

Does that count for anything?

on edit: The appearance of Dr Susan Rice on cspan and John Kerry's speech this morning have so astounded me, I'm having trouble with my brain filter.

[sofa king]

38. I think Christ was a socialist.

One of the best ever socialists, too. I heard the guy once took a basket of crackers and a bucket of spit, redistributed it amongst a crowd of people, and made them all happy by doing it.

Some people say it was a miracle, but the socialists keep telling me no, that's just the way socialism works.

I'm going to run away now.

[JoFerret]

40. Of course he was.

Nicanor and the deacons. Straight out of Das Kapital. In fact, Karl Marx's influence on the gospels is a ripe field for serious study.

[IndianaGreen]

41. Way to go, Keyes! Keep up the good work!

At the rate you are running your mouth, you will be lucky to get anyone to vote for you, other than yourself and your long suffering wife (or husband!).

[Gman]

43. Keyes sounds a lot like Conspiracy Brother

in that certain words like "spank" set off these fits about slavery and The Man. But, of course, Conspiracy Brother would NEVER vote for Keyes. In fact, Keyes would be a target for the B.R.O.T.H.E.R.H.O.O.D.

Ah, Mr. Keyes, could we get a list of the words that set off these fits?

[Thurston Howe IV]

44. Keyes is intelligence but...

just goes to show how an intensely held ideology can make native intelligence worthless.

[Thurston Howe IV]

45. Just goes to show what 2 beers can do

"I meant to say Keyes has intelligence but..."

[alcuno]

48. Welcome to DU, Thurston.

If you ever want to change a post within one hour, just hit Edit. I agree that Keyes is intelligent but you could say the same thing about many serial killers. Keyes has a certain deranged intellect; a gift to the people of Illinois.

[Thurston Howe IV]

54. A big gift with a giant red bow on top

First, George Ryan with his bribes for licenses scandal. Then Jack Ryan trying to coerce "6 of 9" into having sex in public. Now Keyes -- as mad as a hatter. We are a blessed state. Keyes may put the final nail into the Republican party in Illinois - at least for the next decade or so. Amen to that!

BTW, thanks for the edit tip, and thanks for the welcome!

[yardwork]

70. Don't forget the brief entry by Mike Ditka

who promptly lost his temper during his first press conference and quit before he started.

[0rganism]

122. Ya know, the scary thing about Ditka is he would have made it a race

If he'd wanted the job enough, he could have really made things tough for Obama.

[alcuno]

71. I have to say I was quite moved by Ryan's move on the death

sentences here. I find it hard to believe he did it merely for political gain. His speech at Northwestern made me cry.

[dansolo]

84. You forgot the one good thing from the IL GOP

Patrick Fitzgerald was nominated by Peter Fitzgerald, and he is doggedly pursuing the Valerie Plame case. I've heard it suggested that he should be brought in to investigate the Israeli/AIPAC spy case, too.

[EST]

102. Yeah

Welcome, thirsty...I mean Thurston.

[dolo amber]

49. He really is just raving bat shit crazy, isn't he?

:7

[FredScuttle]

50. A question about Alan Keyes

Q: What's the difference between Alan Keyes and the frizzled nutcase on the street corner screaming about aliens probing his body and the CIA sending radio signals to his brain?

A: Ronald Reagan only appointed one of them to the UN

[foo_bar]

124. Jeanne Kirkpatrick makes two

[Renew Deal]

51. This guy is a nut.

lol

[Raiden]

53. How sad

Obama's gonna blow Keyes away come November. Keyes is such a douchebag.

Let's compile some great Keyes claims...

Carpetbagging Democrats = BAD
Carpetbagging Republicans = GOOD
God caused 9/11 because of Roe v. Wade
Barack Obama is a lying pinko commie
Jesus wouldn't vote for Obama


WHAT A FUCKING PSYCHO!!! :nuke:

[AspenRose]

107. You forgot a claim

Alan is more black than Obama because of his slave heritage (race-baiting)

[David Zephyr]

56. Alan! Please, Please Never Stop Running That Mouth of Yours!

Ha!

[SOS]

57. -Keyes then went into a very long analysis of the word "spanking"-

This must have been really weird and unpleasant.

[barb162]

66. I watched the whole interview

it literally gave me a headache. He tried portraying Obama almost as a white spanking a black "boy" and you know, a black MAN is not a "boy" and using that word for a black man means you are dissing him. Sort of on and on he went.

[PartyPooper]

58. I do believe that Jesus Christ would be very pissed over this!

The very idea that His name is easily and conveniently invoked by GOP neanderthals like Junior and Keyes every time they want to score political points 'a la religion' is an insult to Jesus Christ himself!

No wonder the pope suspects Junior and his ilk of being the "Anti-Christ"!

:evilfrown:

[alarcojon]

106. Reminds me of the line from "Hannah and her sisters"

something along the lines of "if Jesus were to come back and see all that is being done in his name, he would never stop throwing up."

[sendero]

59. That stupid fool....

... makes me so happy. He actually thinks comments like that help his chances rather than hurt them. Between him and Poppy comparing Dim Son to a persecuted Christian, he is alienating most Christians and damn near all non-Christians.

Way to go Alan, keep up the good work!

[Beware the Beast Man]

60. Jesus would not vote, Alan.

"render unto Caesar," you fucknut!

[AngryOldDem]

62. Damn Good Thing For Keyes...

...that Christ isn't around to vote. I don't think he or Bush would like it much.

I hope this race finishes Keyes off for good politically.

[Bombero1956]

68. you know....

I'm not on a personal basis with Christ, but I'm sure Christ wouldn't have made Alan Keyes if he had it to do it all over again...what a loon.

[LibDemAlways]

67. Everytime Keyes opens his mouth a

few more undecideds drop into Obama's column. Any guesses as to what the final vote percentages will be? I'm thinking 85/15.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

72. i hope keyes takes bush* right down with him

will they dump keyes and not run anyone? seems that conceding the seat would be better than this kook.

[are_we_united_yet]

74. Alan

Shut up.

[Tight_rope]

76. This guy is such a fool!

[tuvor]

77. Goddamn bullshit motherfucking "christians"!

Just had to get that off my chest.

Thank you.

[LynneSin]

80. I didn't know Christ was a registered voter of Illinois

heck, I don't even think he's an American citizen

:crazy:

Illinois Repukes had 19 potential candidates to replace Jack Ryan and this is the best they could do. They should have just stuck with Ryan!

[Bake]

81. Between Keyes and Craschcart,

these bastards will say ANYTHING, no matter how outrageous. That's what it's come to in America.

Bake

[Geo55]

82. Ahhhh....come on Alan....

you REALLy do want that spanking , now don't you?

[Neshanic]

85. Hi, Jesus here. I listen to that guy and LAUGH! Me he's funny.

[Darby]

86. Christ Says "Keyes is a Moron"

How dare he use my name for his own personal political glorification? Pride - it's one of them seven deadlies, Alan.

[brooklynite]

91. If he keeps this up...

a lot of joke writers are going to be out of work. No sense paying for them when you can get them for free.

[snippy]

92. Keyes represents the heart and soul of the republican party.

It is a shame that no effort is made to make him the face of the party.

[DFWJock]

94. Did Jesus

get an apartment in Illinois ("month to month" lease) so he could vote for Keyes?

[yellowcanine]

99. Of course not - he would not vote at all. I agree with Alan Keyes! What

a horrible turn of events!

[Walt Starr]

101. Keep talking, Keyes

The more he opens his mouth, the deeper the hole he digs himself.

At this rate, he may end up getting only in the single digits.

[democracy eh]

103. Keyes is a gift to the Democrats

keyep it coming
keyep getting on the national news Alan

the thing it the Illinois GOP KNEW what Keyes was like b4 they dropped him in and seem to either have no ability or desire to reign him in. That is both scary and perplexing...

[onenote]

104. jesus' vote wouldn't count

He'd be an elderly Jew living in Florida....

onenote

[Rose Siding]

105. Best. Republican. Candidate. Ever.

No mask!

[Fleshdancer]

108. Please keep talking Keyes!!!! PLEASE!

And feel free to bring Coulter and Malkin on stage with you...hell, bring Fallwell as well! Just make sure you KEEP TALKING.

[noonwitch]

109. Palestinean Jews don't vote in US elections

Only american-israeli jews have that option.

So, Keyes is right, Jesus wouldn't vote for Obama. He also wouldn't vote for Keyes, Bush, Kerry, Hillary, Zell, etc.

[rexcat]

112. It would be hard for Jesus to vote since...

he is dead. Of course dead people in this country have been known to vote (esp. in Chicago). One other major issue is Jesus was never a citizen of this country so that pretty much excludes him from voting here anyway.

[GiovanniC]

113. A Spokesman For Christ Has Released a Statement:

Jesus H. Christ (also known as: Prince of Peace, Lamp Unto My Feet, Emmanuel, Holy One, etc.) released a statement today as follows:

"Verily, I say unto Alan Keyes and his Republican brethren, if you don't stop taking my name and my Father's name in vain, you will be extracting my size 11.5 sandal from your ass. You are also in violation of our rules against greed, envy, wrath, pride, bearing false witness, killing, coveting your neighbor's goods, stealing, rendering unto Caesar what is Caesar's, loving your neighbor as yourself, and judging not. Knock it the fuck off. That is all."

[truthisfreedom]

114. so, mr. keyes, would Christ vote for everyone owning machine guns?

just asking.

[RandomKoolzip]

117. Why should I care how a fictional character might vote?

"Breaking News: Dennis Hastert claims Mork from Ork would not vote for Keyes. Keyes counter-claims that HR Pufnstuf is a potential Obama voter."

[sandraj]

123. Obama's response today

Too bad that Obama is forced to play along with Keyes' shenanigans, but he does it so well.

Obama Says Voters, God Should Judge Him

http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20040908/ap_on_el_se/senate_race_religion_2

"I will leave Mr. Keyes to the theological speculations. My job is to focus on the issues that voters care about — jobs, health care, education," Obama said. He added, "I'm not running to be the minister of Illinois. I'm running to be its United States senator..." (more)

I like that last quote especially. Separation of church and state, what a concept.

[belle]

125. Froot! Bat!

[Seabiscuit]

126. What Keyes forgot to mention

is that Satan is voting for Keyes.

[Princess Turandot]

127. I think that Jesus would ask Mr. Keyes to check in at Bellevue..

Psych here in NY, before he has the pleasure of meeting him in the after-life.

While at Bellevue, he will likely meet at least 6 people who think they are Jesus, so he can form an appropriate focus group.

[Supersedeas]

128. Republican's mixing Religion and Politics again for the Sheeple

[struggle4progress]

129. kick for blasphemy disguised as politics

:kick:

[Jokinomx]

130. Keyes is a Retard.

I am sorry if I insulted the mentally handicapped...but I have never seen such an A-hole in my life... thank jesus he is a repug...

:kick:

[Green Lantern]

131. Oh my goodness

The RP is surely well aligned. God speaks to Bush and Christ talks to Keyes.
