Well he is squarely behind no less than 6 of the 10 commandments.

As limp as he is, I'd still prefer him to the "change the constitution to a theocrcy" doofas Huckleberry

Rudy Giuliani asked an evangelical congregation for prayers instead of votes and quoted scripture to evoke a message of hope and perseverance....


Our Rudy who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name....

"I'm not coming here to ask for your vote," [Rudy] said Sunday....

Right off the bat he starts out with a lie.

Of course, NO ONE has a picture.

ZAT-
Did you catch the thread on Stephenville? It was up this afternoon on the Front Page, if I recall.

No

I was working on my new detector most of the day.

Funny no one at DFW saw squat.
No pictures.

Must be the water.

Hey, here's an idea - when Rudi actually GETS A DELEGATE, then you can post stories on him.

What is he asking us to pray for?

ohhhhhhhhhkay.

Dear God:

please get him out of the race and keep him in good health.

in the name of Yeshua.

amen.

and a few good women.

Rudina honey:

Your latest poll numbers show that my prayers for you have already been answered.

Thank you for playing.

That's just creepysad

I think God is way ahead of you Rudy. He is telling you NO! No, is an answer.

The Book of Rudy. Chapter 9 Verse 11.
Give us this day our new wife. Let the police cover up our trespasses, as we covered up their chief's.

emandem.

9/11 bottles of beer on the wall, 9/11 bottles of beer!..take one down and pass it around, and you still have 9/11, because I am RUDY, the patron saint of 9/11.

Rudy has a legitimate claim to 9/11...see,if you add 9 and eleven,you get 20....and since Rudy hadn't 8 breakfast on that morning,you subtract that from 20 which leaves 12...there are EXACTLY 12 letters in Rudy Giuliani....hence,Rudy owns 9/11....

Thanks Rasta brings back memories.

Ended up watching several other referenced clips.

Bravely bold Sir Rudy
Rode forth from 9/11.
He was not afraid to die,
Oh brave Sir Rudy.
He was not at all afraid
To be killed in nasty ways.
Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Rudy.

He was not in the least bit scared
To be mashed into a pulp.
Or to have his eyes gouged out,
And his elbows broken.
To have his kneecaps split
And his body burned away,
And his limbs all hacked and mangled
Brave Sir Rudy.

His head smashed in
And his heart cut out
And his liver removed
And his bowls unplugged
And his nostrils raped

And his bottom burnt off
And his pen--

"That's... that's enough music for now lads,
*** there's dirty work afoot*** ???."

Brave Sir Rudy ran away.
("No!")
Bravely ran away away.
("I didn't!")
When danger reared it's ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
("no!")
Yes, brave Sir Rudy turned about
("I didn't!")
And gallantly he chickened out.

****Bravely**** taking ("I never did!") to his feet,
He beat a very brave retreat.
("all lies!")
Bravest of the braaaave, Sir Rudy!
("I never!")

-Compliments of Monty Python

Even God couldn't help El Douche.

Bravest of the braaaave, Sir Rudy!
("I never!")

-Compliments of Monty Python

Your asking for my prayers? Okay, I'll give it a shot...

The power of Christ compels you!

No prayers however, I can be bought.

Giuliani: 'I'm Asking For Your Prayers'

Well, Romney winning Michigan is the answer to some of those prayers.

Nice one Tao

Pray for your soul Rudolf.

And I will pray for mine.

lol That's awesome!

I fear this makes no sense to me. Should he not ask for votes, since votes get counted in this primary? As far as I know, prayers don't get counted.

I beg your pardon, but this "asking for prayers" thing seems a bit counter-productive to what he hopes to accomplish.

Thou shalt not steal an election.

Please, Lord, make it close enough so we can steal it.

This isn't the first time the repugs have asked us for our prayers.

Rudy is about as "holy" as Al Capone. For a guy who never was some religious evangelical -- or particulary religious at all -- to now try and pull off some baloney that he wants "your prayers not your votes" is pathetic and disrespectful.

Good Christians should throw born-again Rudy to the lions.

Rudy must be afraid to have a one-on-one with God himself. He needs "intermediaries."

It has something to do with a bolt of lightening coming out of the sky . . . or some such thing.

We all know Rudy's not the epitome of "religiousity" (sp?) as Huck has presented himself to be. That said, is it out of bounds for a candidate to ask a group of religious folks to pray for him?

Or is it only a problem when he's a Rep? Would Obama elicit the same condemnation? Hillary?

While I'm not a huge Rudy fan, I do think he's striking a 'moderate' chord as far as faith. He freely admits his life isn't perfect... and that those choices he's made are to be judged by his God and not by others. I don't get the sense he's been playing a morality one-upsmanship game with his challengers.

He's never professed to be morally superior to someone else. He's as socially liberal as most any major Rep candidate has been for quite a while.

.......prayer ?.....wouldn't exorcism be more appropriate ?.....

Oorah, fact is, that it is the GOP who trys to play the God card every chance they get.
Never notice?
Then you are not watching.
As soon as a Dem tells you that we need to change the constitution to get more godly, you come back and tell us, OK?
Till then, keep a close eye on the Repub candidates; every time a GOPer invokes the guy in the sky. Send me $1 every time the Dem candidates do, I'll send you two.

Lets see how that works out, K?
Remember W's "God told me to invade Iraq".

OLD-
For the reasons you cite, Rudy will find it difficult to win my side's nomination. It's in large part BECAUSE Rudy isn't the typical socially conservative candidate.

He's not out there talking up the evils of abortion or gay marriage. He's had a public/private life which has been far from the straight and narrow.

He's not out there campaigning in the same vein of a Huck. But yet you want to paint both with the same brush. Beyond the (R) next to their name they are about as far apart, in terms of trying to "force" their religious beliefs upon you, as you can get.

OOHRAH;

I don't paint Huck and Rudy with the same brush.

Heaven forbid!

Rudy's a transparent hypocrit. Huck's a little nuts but he's an honest nut when it comes to his religion.

Rudy's pure cellophane.

Maybe us DR's might not have jumped on him so hard had he said:

Pray for our country.
Pray for our future.
Pray for our leaders.
Pray for our dead soldiers.
Pray for their families
Pray for our injured vets.
Pray for THEIR families.

But Rudy didn't ask for that. Noooo . . .he was only interested in himself.

TWIN-
I'm not a big Rudy fan. Just wanted to say that again. Look, the brief USA Today article didn't have a video or a transcript of his speech. I seriously would doubt any candidate would limit prayer request to only himself to the exclusion of prayers for the nation, etc.

The reason for that specific quote to be contained in the USA Today piece was to elicit the very response you brought forth: where does Rudy get off asking for prayers for himself? He's a hypocrit.

OOHRAH:

I didn't read the article but if it says Rudy is a hypocrit, I agree. And a narcissist to boot.

I don't even know if God exists but I still say those same prayers I listed above on a daily basis.

I'm sure you do the same. Probably moreso because you have a son in service to this country.

BTW, I'm glad you're not a Rudy fan. Maybe our little conversation here will help dissuade others from becoming one.

I found your input interesting and I read it with care. But I only have two cheeks to turn and I'm very careful how I use them. I don't consider Rudy Giuliani a worthy cause.

Our 9/11
which art in 9/11
hallowed be thy 9/11
thy 9/11 come
thy 9//11 be done
on 9/11
as it is in 9/11
Give us this 9/11
our daily 9/11
and forgive us our 9/11
as we forgive those who 9/11 against us

Amen

"9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11
9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11"

He's speaking in tongues!!!!! Get the holy water!!!!!

TWIN-
The article doesn't call him a hypocrit. At the least, I guess ANY brush with faith/prayer/religion on Rudy's part is newsworthy. Yet it's hard for me to shake my "the liberal media's got it in for any Republican" vision... so when I see (likely) selective reporting which can easily lead to the conclusion Rudy's simply a pandering hypocrit, my antenna goes on alert.

I do know it's not uncommon for someone to ask for prayer for them. Whether it's to help them through trying times, sickness, family death, dependency, etc.

I may be wrong, but I find it difficult to believe any politician, when standing in church (or anywhere) and asking for prayer, would limit his request to prayers for only himself. Yet, whether on purpose or not, that's what the USA Today article portrays.

And, in the larger picture, whether a pol "wears faith on his sleave" or not, it's very much acceptable and normal for them to request prayer while addressing a group of church people. Is that pandering? Maybe. But both sides do it. And, if Rudy were addressing a bunch of non-faith folks... I doubt he'd ask for their prayers. Is that also pandering - telling (or failing to tell) people something which would elicit a more positive or more negative perception?

I may be wrong, but I find it difficult to believe any politician, when standing in church (or anywhere) and asking for prayer, would limit his request to prayers for only himself. - Oohrah

OOHRAH, you are a man of very generous nature, or you are naive, or both.

"I am asking for your prayers" is what he said.

Is he asking you to pray for anything but him?

No.

TWIN-
When I say I'm not a big Rudy fan, I would still support him as the nominee. I like his tough military/crime stance, yet he's too far off in the immigration issue. Don't know enough about his taxation stances... and of course his typical Rep hot button social issues are on the wrong side.

Make him Attorney General. Fine. But not President.

Plus, I hate the Yankees and wouldn't want my President wearing one of their caps. How's that for "depth" when selecting a candidate? :^)

SIT-
Been down that path with TWIN. The article only cites one line or so of that speech. Without the transcript or video we simply don't know all of what was said.

If video or a complete transcript shows me wrong, I'm wrong. Until then, I'll trust my instincts... no pol will only seek prayer for himself to the exclusion of prayer for other things (country, troops, etc)

His taxation stance is pretty much lower taxes but continue to keep the check book open... similar to other republicans we cannot afford.

And agreed, fuck the Yankees.

As limp as he is, I'd still prefer him to the "change the constitution to a theocrcy" doofas Huckleberry


Speaking of huckabee.

One of his phone surveys called my house today. Had a doctors appointment early this morning, go home and started to relax. Phone rings.

I take the survey.

Lemme tell ya. He's bashing Thompson, Romney and McCain. I made comments about Ron Paul, but I doubt they are recorded. But hooooooly shit this guys going nuts deep in south carolina hoping for a win.

twinpac - it's really not that different than the shemale playing the crybaby vagina card.

when are these candidates going to realize, it's not about them?

it's about u.s.

Why?

RudiG needs more than prayers when even Ron Paul can kick his ass in Michigan.

ugh... Rudi... PLEASE go the fuck away.
