Billy Graham buys election ads after Romney meeting
Source: CNN
By Eric Marrapodi CNN Belief Blog Co-Editor
Washington (CNN) - The most famous and revered pastor in America, Billy Graham, is calling on voters to cast a ballot for their faith in full-page ads in the Wall Street Journal, USA Today and other newspapers.
Graham's picture appears prominently in the ads, next to copy that reads, "As I approach my 94th birthday, I realize this election could be my last."
It continues, "I believe it is vitally important that we cast our ballots for candidates who base their decisions on biblical principles and support the nation of Israel. I urge you to vote for those who protect the sanctity of life and support the biblical definition of marriage between a man and a woman. Vote for biblical values this November 6, and pray with me that America will remain one nation under God."
The ad hit the prominent papers Wednesday and Thursday, and could hit a dozen more newspapers, a week after the famed evangelist met with Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney at Graham's Montreat, North Carolina, home and less than a month after his son Franklin Graham issued a full-throated endorsement of Romney in a USA Today opinion piece.

So it's not OK for Billy Graham to buy and ad, but the Hollywood starlets can have their little promo spot, and that's totally OK?
Hypocricy much? :argh: :bird:

I don't think that Billy Graham really wants to do this, but Democrats have only themselves to blame. What's he supposed to do, sit back and pretend that it's okay that Democrats treat life as disposable and change centuries old tradition to meet their electoral whim?

3. Of course Romney's policies of taking from the poor and giving to the rich are "biblical values."
Billy Graham seems to have contracted a serious case of Romnesia.
First, show me any of Romney's policies that take from the poor and give to the rich?
Second, show me any single verse in the Bible that proves that Obama's ideas of stealing from the working (or even rich) and giving to the lazy (or even poor) is biblical.
If you can't do the above you need to shut up. Remember, it's better to have people think you're an idiot than post on DU and remove all doubt.

4. I'll bet dollars against donuts that Billy Graham
did no such thing. It was his son and the tea baggers who did it and put his name on it.
Isn't it amazing how one can go from being anti Semitic and saying Mormonism is a cult, to all of a sudden endorsing a candidate who is Mormon and supports the nation of Israel?
Boggles the mind.
They blame Graham the Younger and.....wait for it......teeeeee bahhgerrrsssssssss
Gee, what a surprise...
Oh, and not to be outdone in the retarded department, the Nixon tapes and Petro-Evangelism are mentioned.

That certainly lit a fire over there.
The members of the Democrat Party that post at DemocratUnderground.com, did everything to denegrate Rev. Graham. ( a real one, not a fake)
They fail to understand that Rev. Graham isn't a single issue voter, and looked at the whole elephant.
DUmpmonkeys, he found your ass to be fat, lazy and coyote ugly.

30. SO his true colors finally come out
Billy Graham is a traitor...who has no regard or respect for the US Constitution, and is nothing more then another religious fanatic!!!!
The Rev. Graham wishes to indorse a candidate you don't like, therefore he's a traitor. Got it. :mental:
This coming from a member of the Democrat Party that posts at DemocratUnderground.com.
Idiot probably has as much knowledge about the Constitution, as a certain "trained historian", that also posts at DemocratUnderground.com.
What an ignorant, uneducated DUmbass. :bird:

I have a million times more respect for Billy Graham than I will ever have for a moonbat like this. Where in the constitution does it say that marriage is a right? I thought so.
I absolutely love Billy Graham. He is such an inspiration and role model. I wish that I could have seen him speak.

Billy Graham does more good for humanity each morning before breakfast than a million DUmpmonkeys will do in their entire lives.

As a non-Protestant who isn't into this type of preaching, I have to say Billy Graham ranks as one of my highest personal heroes.
Billy Graham is a great man, and I thank God he's in this time and place.
I wish we had more like him.

Absolutely agree on the entire statement. See DUmmies, this should give you a clue as to the hows one who is not say Mormon can vote for a Mormon. I do not agree on Mitt Romney's religious beliefs, however I agree with him enough on things that matter when it comes to him holding the highest office in the land, that I can vote for him. I'm not interested in voting him in my Pastor; I'm looking to vote someone in as President. That to me is the biggest difference and where our faiths intersect on matters of national issues, we are in agreement more often then not so it makes his faith, as far as this office is concerned, a non issue. Unlike you all, I also know in the end he is only a man, full of the same human frailties as any other. I believe he would admit as much himself, unlike you dorks and your 'messiah'.

And agree about Billy Graham...one thing I've liked about him is his humility. That is definitely something your average dumpster and liberal couldn't comprehend.

Why the members of the Democrat Party that post at DemocratUnderground.com, can not accept him.
They would rather worship at the alter of Wright, Jackson and Sharpton.
