Tom DeLay is Not Jesus

[eahaddix]

Tom DeLay is not Jesus. That may not seem like a shocking statement, but it may be for some Christians who gathered last week in Washington, D.C., for the "War on Christians and the Value Voters" conference.

Scarborough proclaimed (http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2006/03/29/waronchristians/index_np.html) DeLay to be "the man God has appointed in this last day." Scarborough went even further as he compared (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2006/03/29/MNGHCHVJNE1.DTL) DeLay to Jesus: "God always does his best work right after a crucifixion."

As Scarborough and others continue their worship of DeLay, Jesus is pushed to the backseat. For instance, before the conference Newsweek reported that Judy Deats, a Texas Republican, stood next to DeLay and declared (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11785829/site/newsweek/), "Right now, I wouldn't vote Democratic if Jesus Christ was running."

What say you?

I don't like comments like that.

DeLay is a strong man with strong positions. But that does not mean I like them all, find them on par with Christ or any such thing.

It is offensive to me for things like this to be said and allowed to be said by those who claim to stand for Christian values.

That woman needs to be spanked by her Christian husband! How's that
for a Christian comment?? I'll bet it's more Christian than that ill-advised
statement she made! she wouldn't vote democrat if JESUS Himself were
Running??

Dear, I have a comment of my own ....

First of all, YESHUA would never Run for office of any particular
political party! However, if He ever was to Run, i would vote
for Him if He were Running with rapper Snoop Doggy Dogg as His
Choice for running mate!
