Reformed Chicks Blabbing

So, now that Romney has dropped out….

posted by Susan Johnson | 6:09pm Thursday February 7, 2008

It’s time to mess with the Democrats’ race! Here are the open primaries:

Virginia, Wisconsin, Ohio, Texas, Indiana

So, now you guys who live in these states have an opportunity to help the Republican party by voting for Hillary. Yes, I know that sounds like an alternative realty thing to do and I know that you may need a shower afterward but it’s for a good cause (no one will force you to buy health insurance if you don’t want it), McCain has a better shot against her than he does against Obama.
In fact Rush is ready to start a drive to send her campaign contributions and he gave it a catchy title: “Keep her in it so we can win it!” (Of course he’s doing it to prove a point about how lame our candidate is that the only reason we’ll vote for him is to stop Hillary)

RUSH: All right, folks, I need to ask you a question, personal question from me to you. Do I sound like I need cheering up here? I’m getting e-mails from friends, “Boy, you sound like you could use a little cheering up.” And they’re sending me these stupid little Internet jokes, “for you to smile,” like an Internet joke would cheer me up. Spam would cheer me up. But do I sound like I need to be cheered up? I can’t wait ’til the Drive-Bys get hold of my thought, my consideration of helping Hillary raise money. They’ll miss the reason. They’ll just publicize, “Limbaugh is so upset at Romney getting out, he’s thinking of raising money for Hillary, period.” But the reason for raising money for Hillary is because that apparently my party is relying on fear and loathing of Hillary to get the nomination, to unite Republicans, who are, some of them, off the reservation. The Republicans do not seem to be relying on leadership in their party to unite the party. They seem to be relying on all these external things, nobody is going to vote for Hillary, negative turnout factor. What if she’s not the nominee? We’ve got make sure she’s the nominee if the Republican Party is to be unified. What more loyal thing could I do than to run a fundraiser for Mrs. Clinton? You watch, though, you watch how that will be questioned.

It would be nice if we had real leaders in this race but what do you expect from a bunch of Senators? Leadership isn’t really something that’s cultivated in the Senate, is it?
Update: It seems I’ve upset people with this post. I take it that those who are commenting might not realize that the Democrats and Independents voted in the Republican primary in NH, Michigan and SC. It is allowed in open primary states to vote in whatever primary you want. So there is nothing illegal or immoral in voting because it’s expected that everyone gets a chance to vote for the candidate no matter their party affiliation. Now, if Democrats don’t want us to pick their candidate and we don’t want them to pick ours, then we need to force the states to close their primaries. Otherwise, it’s perfectly OK to vote for whatever candidate you want.
Now to all of you who do not think that it’s very Christian of me to suggest this, please show me in Scriptures where I have violated a commandment of God. I am not breaking any laws and I certainly don’t look at voting as a sacred duty, I look at it as a civic duty and I usually will elect the person who best represents my belief, failing that I’ll vote for the lesser of two evils (which is what I will be doing in November). If I were in VA, I would vote for Hillary because it would help get McCain elected.
And if it doesn’t, then we would never have had a shot against Obama.
Oh and btw, this post was kind of tongue in cheek anyway :-) Hillary and Obama’s race will probably be decided by the super delegates anyway.

They removed 3.5 liters of fluid from my abdomen this week, so I was able to get on the I

This year will be the first time since 1960 that a Senator will be elected President and no, Senators do not make leaders but that’s ok because leaders only get people killed. We can live long and happy lives without them or their followers.

No, you’re wrong. Clinton wasn’t a leader and his inaction against the terrorist caused many deaths.

You should be ashamed of yourselves. THis is not a very democratic, or christian thing to do. We are lucky to have a right to vote in this country, (there are still a lot of people out there who don’t) and now you are encouraging people to blatantly take advantage of their right… shame on you

I am incredibly offended by this. As a Christian myself I don’t think it is the moral thing to do to cheat the system and vote for a candidate you don’t support just to, as you say, “mess with the democrats.” Millions of people in the world today wish they had the privelege to elect a leader in a democratic fashion and you have that right and are throwing it down the toilet!
THIS IS SHAMEFUL!!!

Is this how you inspire people to follow Christ on your site? Is this how you encourage their faith? By telling then to abuse the system to get the person YOU want elected. This is wrong on every level and I will never come back to your site again!

I think this is the most “un-Christian” Christian site I’ve ever come across. I’ve been a Christian for 30 years, or all of my adult life and I’ve seen some real “posers” in the name of Jesus. How sad you are.
I thought all the Christians were praying for the President. I guess it’s just if that person believes EXACTLY what you believe..the epitome of intolerance…not like Jesus at all. Not very patriotic either.
Here’s what you should do. Vote for the person you believe in, if you can find that person. Vote with your Godly self, not with your scheming and conniving inner selves. Your votes for Hillary won’t change the outcome. You won’t be happy with McCain either. If Hillary gets the nomination, McCain may win…BUT WHAT IF HE DOESN’T?
If you vote for Hillary, who you apparently hate…she might just win. Than who messed with who?
BEWARE, YOU MAY GET WHAT YOU ASK FOR.

Not only is the behavior un-Christian, it is entirely unethical and extremely UNAMERICAN. You are clearly so far to the right that you’ve lost all your balance and good sense. You are devisive and devious as well. Clearly you live in fear and have enslaved yourselves to an ideology that is both narrow minded and destructive.
It saddens me to think that in the 21st Century we have citizens who are blindly ignorant to the true meaning of being Christian. Jesus did not stoop to such pathetic and pitiful tactics. If you really believe your faith, then you’d best start living it.

You should be ashamed of yourselves! This is supposed to be a CHRISTIAN website and instead of encouraging people to vote for the person they feel in their heart and mind is the right one, you are asking them to cheat the system. You need to ask yourselves if this is what Christ would have you doing. It makes me sad and angry!

Oh give me a break! What do you think we got John McCain? The Democrats crossed over in NH and SC. Everyone knows and since I know that everyone knows that I didn’t have to say: “Since they tried to pick our candidate, let’s pick there’s”
As to what Christianity has to do with this, I don’t think voting is sacred. The office of presidency isn’t sacred as well. Name one verse I’m violating in my suggestion.

What duplicity!
please show me in Scriptures where I have violated a commandment of God.
Your advice, tongue-in-cheek as it may be, seems like contempt, the fifth commandment [WLC 125-128, especially].
Please don’t think I found this for your sake. In studying Noah & Ham (Genesis 9), a footnote referred me to Question 127 and I read a bit around on either side.
Even though I gave my opinion on this, I also think it’s a temptation to point it out in public despite your request. Well, it’s the season of repentance, so off I go … Kyrie eleison …
