Election 2004!

[Allinall]

By the way, we don't need to take heed with anything. You are a guest here, and that invitation can be cancelled.

Oh yes you do need to take heed. You've passed judgement on my by saying that I have horns, a distinct reference to Satan. Pushing a "banned" button will not relieve you of accountablity.

And you have not passed judgment on President Bush with your statements?  You seem to like casting stones and calling yourself sinless.

Can you people (aka the tim troll debateing droup) please keep that conversation somewhere else, you're breaking up the current discussion

It's a Miracle, but Here's the real Heart of the Story
By Debbie Daniel
September 22, 2004

Just when I think I can't take any more of this nonsense in the political arena, I am reminded that we've just witnessed a miracle. George Bush has been hammered harder than any candidate in recent history, yet he still stands. He has walked through the FIRE of the Democrat's IRE, and he's up in the polls. Go figure . . . it's an absolute miracle.

This may truly be a race of "last man standing wins." He's been knocked by one of the big three networks; the billion dollar bank account of George Soros (a.k.a. Moveon.org); many foreign leaders who have been quoted saying: "We don't want George Bush to win;" the Communist Party of America; the Atheists; the Agnostics; the National Association of Women; Hollywood's Paparazzi; the Gay Community; the NAACP; protesters who hold signs that read: "Where's John Hinkley when you need him?;" a $20 million plus movie, Fahrenheit 9/11, that drags George Bush through the mud, and who knows who else will step up and say: "We do not want George Bush for President."

So to me . . . It's a MIRACLE! George Bush just being able to stand against the big three media is quite a feat . . . and he still stands TALL. In fact, I think that man gets taller everyday.

I've never seen so many one-two punches with hits that would take most men to their knees. I do, however, believe that George Bush is on his knees often, but of his own choice. I can imagine his prayer bench is "thread bare" and that is why he's able to still stand strong. It's amazing to me, but what a testimony of how God can keep a man's spirit strong.

George Bush is no ordinary man. It is because of his deep faith in God that he's been able to withstand the vile attacks by seemingly everyone.

The "big three" can't figure it out; how in the world is George Bush ahead in the polls? They've done everything they can to bring him down . . . we witnessed an element of that just this past week. But he won't fall . . . George Bush won't go down.

Even the pollsters are questioning the way in which they conduct their polls. With George Bush winning among people who are "likely to vote," now the pollsters feel they should also poll those who are "not likely to vote." Oh, that will certainly give us a good indication of who should be President. Whatever it takes . . . just get the results you want.

One of the biggest frauds, against a sitting President of the United States, has been perpetrated on the American people by CBS News, but it doesn't even sully our President. It backfires and damages the accuser. Oh, they say; "We were misled." But they did exactly what they set out to do . . . they got the story out that they wanted us to hear, and though the facts were wrong . . . they wanted us to remember the HEART of the story. ()

Heart? Let me show you the heart of a story . . . it's George Bush's heart. It's a story that won't be shared on the evening news, but it so touched Bruce Vincent, a man from Montana, who received an award from the President. I checked the story for its veracity, and I want to share it with you.

Mr. Vincent tells of stepping into the Oval office after the awards ceremony was over in the East Room. "Each of us was introduced to the President and Mrs. Bush. We shook hands, received our awards with photo op and participated in informal conversation.

"When we departed, I said to the President, 'Mr. President, I know you to be a man of strong faith and I have a favor to ask.' As he shook my hand, he looked me in the eye and said, 'Just name it.'

"I told him my step-mom was at that moment in a hospital in Kalispell, Montana, having a tumor removed from her skull and it would mean a great deal to me if he would consider adding her to his prayers that day.

"He grabbed me by the arm and took me back toward his desk and said, 'So that's it? I could tell that something was weighing heavy on your heart . . . I could see it in your eyes.'

"From the top drawer of his desk he retrieved a pen and a note card with his seal on it and asked how to spell her name and then jotted a note to her while discussing the importance of family and the strength of prayer.

"When he handed me the card, he asked about the surgery and the prognosis. He then said, 'If it's okay with you, we'll take care of the prayer right now. Would you pray with me?'

"I told him yes and he turned to the staff that remained in the office and waved them off saying, 'Bruce and I would like some private time for a prayer.' As they left, he turned back to me and took my hands in his.

"I was prepared to do a traditional prayer stance - standing with each other with heads bowed. Instead, he reached for my head with his right hand and pulling gently forward, he placed my head on his shoulder. With his left arm on my mid back, he pulled me to him in a prayerful embrace. He started to pray softly. I started to cry.

"He continued his prayer for my step-mom and for God's perfect will to be done. I cried some more. My body shook a bit as I cried and he just held tighter. He closed by asking God's blessing on her and the family during the coming months.

"I stepped away from our embrace, wiped my eyes, swiped at the tears I'd left on his shoulder, and looked into the eyes of our President. I thanked him best I could.

"I have to tell you that all I really know is that this simple act left me humbled and believing. I so hoped that the man I thought him to be was the man that he is . . . in fact, he is so very, very much more. This story I know to be true . . . I was there; he is real.

"He took time out of his life to care, to share, and to seek God's blessing for my family in a simple man-to-man . . . Christian-to-Christian prayerful embrace."

Dear friends and internet audience, this may very well be a time when we all need to find our prayer benches. Is yours "thread-bare" or does it still look new?

Mine is worn to the point where I am on the floor where I will remain (except for voting day) until this election is over.

As of this Sunday afternoon, looks like Kerry is closing fast.  A statistical deadheat, right now, it looks like.

Clinton DID serve two terms in office.  

[sincereheart]

[Symphony]

Yes, at least our leaders there are showing some indication of humility.  That's a very big lead.    

Would we ever see Kerry (or P. Clinton) doing that??  I don't know.  Maybe flipping the bird to the photographer, I guess.  


Right now, Tuesday eve, from over at Drudge:  

Popular Vote 11% of Precincts Reporting
George W. Bush   55%   8,101,550   
John Kerry   44%   6,502,610

Electoral
Bush 102
Kerry 077


So right now, P. Bush definitely in the lead, but that's only 11% of precincts.  89% still to go.  So it's still very early.


'Just thinking, tho, what if Kerry DOES win - militarily, to me, the absolute unthinkable.

I just see us, militarily, overseas, in a total rout, if Kerry wins.  

And, in our Supreme Court - we have possibly four seats coming open, in the next four years?

Yikes!  With a liberal President, our Court will become even more liberal than it already is!  

Just those two realities, I think, would be the beginning of the end, if not quicker, for the U.S. - quicker because of a castrated military, but perhaps longer as the court gradually becomes more and more a liberal, socialist court, and legislates us into subjection to the U.N.

That's the way it looks to me - a deathnell militarily, and in our courts.

...20 minutes later:


Popular Vote 19% of Precincts Reporting
George W. Bush   53%   14,796,099   
John Kerry   46%   12,877,747

Electoral
Bush 170
Kerry 112



Going just by the Electoral, looks like P. Bush has it...

I agree with your summation on a Kerry administration. Our military would become less than a police force. With Kerry in office then former P. Clinton would become a shoo in for Sec Gen of the UN. That with a drastic change in the courts would tie us in to full control by the UN.

Brother,

I think if all of this happened, I would have to move to Borneo.  

I spoke to my son in the Navy several times about this election. He says his mates want nothing to do with Kerry and they don't respect him at all.

Let's just pray that things continue the way they are now and we have 4 more years.

Brother, I really think it would be worse than you fear. Broadly, I think it would be flushing what we have left of our country into the sewer. I know that I'm far too shy on this subject, but I'm trying to get over it.  

I boil it down to a battle between good and evil. I know there are quite a few other issues thrown into the mix (i.e. economy, health care, education, etc.), but the moral issues were the stand-outs to me. For others, it might have been economic issues or who knows what.

By the way, the troops in Iraq are watching the election returns on Fox News. That should tell everyone something.  

Love In Christ,
Tom
