Explain how Murtha, Kennedy, Boxer, Pelosi, Feinstein, Reid keep their seats according to your previous statement about Mahoney? I know it’s unanswerable, just like the explanation of the Tower of Siloam….

None of this is “unanswerable.” This was all known by God from the beginning. That Murtha, Kennedy, Boxer, Pelosi, Feinstein and Reid keep their seats in the US Congress are because it is part of God’s plan. Not all (or even any) of them will reach salvation.

Murtha, Kennedy, Boxer, et al. may only be where they are and doing what they are doing because God needs them there to further the use of men/women in the future who may not even yet be born. The ungodly legislation put through in 2008 may well be the origin of Godly behavior at some point in the future. I/you/we simply don’t have the “big picture” in these matters. And never will.

Your question only makes sense if one makes the assumption that Congress, as an institution, is obedient to God’s will-which clearly isn’t the case. There isn’t anything to explain because God doesn’t give a group discount when it comes to individual responsibility.

Really? How does that explain the majority of the other 535 who also are disobedient?

He’s clearly a man that God won’t use because of his (Mahoney’s) disobedience to God’s word.

As to his pastor’s advice, I would say it depends on the pastor. Sadly far too many “pastors” are akin to Jesse Jackson who advised Bill Clinton about infidelity while trying to keep his own bastard child from becoming public.

If the republicans held congress; this story would be bigger. I think. But that democrats do. Who cares.

You know. Fairness.

lorien1973 on October 15, 2008 at 3:18 PM

pffft. yep. Not republican enough to be burned for it.

Um, unless he’s strictly into Bill Clinton’s non-sex sex, he’s been doing more than standing …

THEY PERFORM POLITICAL THEATER.

I think the Republican morons need acting classes. This should be a news conference and a ranting session by the minority leader of the house.

He should show some semblance of that ‘fundamental Christian’ attitude that he’s strayed from and take himself out of office and out of the race. If he is a Christian, I can’t imagine a pastor not advising him to do that.

Cheers all around.

“So…Mahoney was porking his mistress.”

They’re actually doing so. Vote if you choose and as you wish.

PBS has an online poll posted asking if Sarah Palin is qualified. Apparently the left wing knew about this in advance and are flooding the voting with NO votes.
The poll will be reported on PBS and picked up by mainstream media. It can influence undecided voters in swing states.
Please do two things — takes 20 seconds.
1) Click on link and vote!
Here’s the link: http://www.pbs.org/now/polls/poll-435.html
2) Then send this to every McCain-Palin supporter you know, and urge them to vote and pass it on.
The last thing we need is PBS saying their viewers don’t think Sarah Palin is qualified.

So? BO directed federal money to his wife, via her employer.

I saw that months ago, and yet I’ve seen it in two articles only the past week.

McCain needed to talk about this earmark rather than some earmark to the fricking Nadler Planetarium in Chicago (twice in the last debate) where some board member is an Obama bundler. That kind of thing doesn’t take.

But if you point to a $1M earmark (2006) as payback for your wife’s pay increase from $121K (2004) to $317K (2005) and $274K (2006), and she’s filing a joint return with you–that’s a huge turd floating around the Obama pool. Middle Americans can get their heads around that.

And if Obama is doing that kind of thing himself, how is his administration going to be on Mahoney.

While we’re at it, how about a pardon for Tony Rezko? Did that cost, say, $300K–the amount that Obama’s seller knocked off the price of the home he sold to Obama?

So I’m wondering, seeing as how she failed miserably at cleaning up congress, has anyone checked in on that toddler?

I’m sure the taxpayers are going to pay for that tot’s therapy bills – poor kid.

Did you see that Investors Business Daily article that Buy Danish linked to yesterday? Obama sent over $200,000 in federal earmarks directly to Michelle Obama — as Executive Director of a group called Public Allies — a group Barry Obama founded, and then turned over to his bitter half to run. (Public Allies is another ACORN-type race-hustling group that performs such vital public services as getting illegal aliens signed up for food stamps and other welfare benefits).

But isn’t this just like earmarking a million bucks to the place your wife works so she gets a big raise? I mean, that’s ok — isn’t it?

cthulhu on October 15, 2008 at 3:42 PM

You are a racist. How dare you crazy crackers question where a strong black woman who now loves her country, gets her money.

- Michelle Obama

MSNBC – “Congressman, wasn’t this George Bush’s fault for spending too much time focused on Iraq and not on preventing Katrina from assaulting the Gulf states?”

Howard Stern – “Did you get anal?”

Remember the MSM anointing Nancy Pelosi the great “multitasker” when she took the Speaker’s gavel in 2007? They marveled that this super woman could clean up congress and bounce a toddler on her knee, at the same time!

So I’m wondering, seeing as how she failed miserably at cleaning up congress, has anyone checked in on that toddler?

just spreadin’ the wealth around…

rw on October 15, 2008 at 3:16 PM

Yep. I wonder how many more mistresses he has “behind him” who need to get some more of what he’s got?

If he is was a Christian, I can’t imagine a pastor not advising him to do that.

FIFY.

Mahoney may have directed federal money to boost second mistress
