State GOP chair: McCain 'kind of like Jesus
By AARON GOULD SHEININ
Published on: 05/17/08
Columbus — Georgia Republican Party chairwoman Sue Everhart said Saturday that the party's presumed presidential nominee has a lot in common with Jesus Christ.
"John McCain is kind of like Jesus Christ on the cross," Everhart said as she began the second day of the state GOP convention. "He never denounced God, either."
Everhart was praising McCain for never denouncing the United States while he was being tortured as a prisoner of war in Vietnam.
"I'm not trying to compare John McCain to Jesus Christ, I'm looking at the pain that was there," she said.

5. Only if Jesus had a billionaire wife, flew around in a jet, encouraged war, murder, torture and racial hatred. If Jesus had said on the cross "it is all the evil Liberuls fault", maybe then McSame would be like Jesus.

9. Actually Joshua ben Joseph was ****ing LOADED!
Consider this:
he was the DIRECT line of David (so they say anyway)
His family's trade was CARPENTERS, that was THE IT JOB of the time!
I think only masons were worth more.
Jesus was LOADED... which makes what he said and did, and how he did it all the more impressive.
His message putting the burden of change on THE RICH, is really what is amazing, because he WAS the rich!
he said (like Hammurabi in his code) It is the responsibility of the powerful to care for the weak. (paraphrased)
And that it's the meek (poor) who will win in the end.
His was(is?) a message of hope, and peace, and love.
Comparing mcsame to that is just.... it goes beyond sacrilege!!!

10. I'm not comparing John McCain to Jesus Christ, I'm just comparing America to God.

11. Was she there? Does she know each and every word he uttered?
He can say he did this or that, but how can she say she knows what happened without having been there herself?

14. Typical. Republicans can't merely SUPPORT a candidate, they have to WORSHIP him.

18. "John McCain is kind of like Jesus Christ on the cross, but I am NOT trying to compare John McCain to Jesus Christ. I'm just saying how McCain is like Jesus on the cross, dying, but I am not making any comparisons to McCain and Christ. Except that I am, and McCain is. But I am not, and McCain is not, except that he is. Oh, and I am, too."
Everyone clear?

19. He wasn't tortured, it was merely "enhanced" interrogation according to Team Bush and McCain.

25. Oboy! My favorite game. Creating non-comparisons.
My turn. How about, John McCain is kinda like Olivia de Havilland. No, wait. John McCain is kinda like Amy Winehouse! Yeah, that's it. No, no. This is better. John McCain is kinda like Gandhi.
Whew. I'm done. Someone else's turn now.

26. Kind of like Jesus...
...you mean he's dead?
You know, this is extraordinary.
I had a dream last night, one of those prophetic dreams.
I dreamed I was standing by a river, and there were a whole lot of Obamaite primitives by the bank.
As Barry "Goldwater" Obama approached them, riding an ass, the Obamaite primitives clasped their hands, knelt, cried, waved palm leaves, scattered rose petals in the way, groaned in ecstasy, other-worldly trances on their faces.
Barry "Goldwater" Obama got off his ass, and started glad-handing the Obamaite primitives, gently nudging them one by one up a ramp to a boat, as they passed by him, their mouths agape in wonder and adoration, and their eyes brimming with tears of joy.
Barry "Goldwater" Obama kept patting them on their backs, shaking their hands, gently pushing them up the ramp.
And then Barry "Goldwater" Obama, who did not get on the boat himself, cut it loose to send it downriver.
Wait and see if I'm not right.

DUmmies are an odd creation.
They are the criminals that HAVE to return to the scence of the crime,the cheating spouse that HAS to tell someone,the failure that ALWAYS has a better idea....
They seem to think that by ascribing their own character defects to every one else it somehow lessens the fact that they are hopelessly flawed.
It must be a horrible thing to go through life knowing that and having to rationalize it away at every turn.
My heart pumps piss for them.

My favorite is their liberal (pun intended) use of the word "lucky." Successful people are "lucky." It has nothing to do with making good decisions in our youth and working our asses off. We are just "lucky."
And since "they got theirs they (the lucky) everyone else can go to hell" is the mantra of the Right, why is it that the Right donates more money (by any and every possible metric) to charity than the Left?
