Dean Atheist Christian Nader Kerry Clark Thread!!!

[Coffee Coyote]

Rules:

#1: Don't bash MY candidate. I, however, CAN bash yours!

#2. Disagreeing with the positions of MY candidate rationally and calmly DOES constitute bashing, and I will post a separate whiny rebuttal thread and call you out! I will also accuse you of boosting Dean or Kerry, depending on who you are.

#3: These rules also apply to Clark supporters, even though he is only a Fantasy Island candidate.

#4: It is really Nader's fault, because Clinton's penis is off in Baghdad cutting off the water supply.

#5. (The only serious rule here) PLEASE bash Bush relentlessly. Keep exposing the lies. Remember that in spite of the acrimony, this is INDISPUTABLY where we all agree, no holds barred.

#6. What is exactly is a "hold", and why do they get "barred"?

1. What if you don't have a candidate?

I didn't see any rules for that one.

2. Candidate basher! Let's get 'em! Everyone pile on!

32. Look. I -- I'd had a lovely supper, and all I said to my wife was...

'That piece of halibut was good enough for Jehovah.'

3. ah!

[neuvocat]

4. Uh oh, you are on to me.

Looks like I'm a screwed pooch.

5. Oh god pleez don't pollute the lounge with GDF hostility and acrimony!

:evilgrin:

6. *flame*

7. "no holds barred" means, in the context of a

wrestling match, that no wrestling holds are barred (forbidden.) Presumably, in other matches some holds are barred.

All I really know about wrestling is that the first year I taught high school, when I heard an announcements for "tryout for wrestling cheerleaders" I started laughing.

Who knew wrestling cheerleaders had become an actual sport ?

:shrug:

8. Maw-haw-haw!!!

You weren't kidding. I did a google search and sure enough they're having a fundraiser.

[DemBones DemBones]

14. Glad to see someone else finds it as funny as I did!

The kids were looking at me like I was nuts but WRESTLING CHEERLEADERS???

The cheerleaders actually sit on the floor beside the wrestling mats and lead cheers while seated!

Being a wrestling cheerleader is not considered as cool as being a football or basketball cheerleader.

But, as the wrestlers' tee shirts say, "It Is Better to Have Wrestled and Lost, Than To Have Played Basketball."

9. There is absolutely NOTHING in this thread ....

About Christians or atheists .....

Doesnt this constitute fraud ? .....

Hmmmmmmmm ....

[Coffee Coyote]

10. I don't believe in their existence!

:evilgrin:

11. Rolls His eyes skyward ...

and strolls away ...

I have my OWN vanity to stroke .....

12. Subthread: Is it humanly possible to drink 8 bottles of wine in one night?

Regular size bottles, not hotel min-bar bottles.

[Coffee Coyote]

13. aow aow aow aow!

:o

[DemBones DemBones]

15. By yourself?

Can't you get drunk on one or two bottles?

16. Dean isn't an atheist

He is a Congregationalist.

[DemBones DemBones]

17. So? Nader's not a Christian, either.

BTW, how did Dean end up being a Congregationalist? I read that he was born Catholic so presumably his parents are Catholic. His wife's Jewish. So why Congregationalist?

[VermontDem2004]

18. I don't know

but that is the religion listed on his CNN profile and his VoteSmart.org profile. I have no idea what religion Nader's is.

[Coffee Coyote]

23. um

No one said he was an atheist. The thread title is a run-on to create a parody. Perhaps it is a lack of irony in your diet, but straight answers in this thread should be ignored.

[VermontDem2004]

24. well the situation has been pretty much over 4 hours ago

I know what you were trying to create, but I thought you were serious about the Dean=atheist, Nader=christian part. And if there were people who thought Dean was an atheist, maybe now they know he isn't. Sorry.

[Coffee Coyote]

25. as if an atheist would have a chance

This country will never elect a declared atheist president, so any accusations about ANY of the candidates being atheist just CANNOT be taken seriously. You are probably the ONLY one who saw my title and thought it linked Dean with atheism, lol.

[VermontDem2004]

26. Fine

but I am courious as to why you but Dean Atheist side by side? It would make sense to me if I understood the joke/point/whatever from that.

[Coffee Coyote]

29. *clue phone*

IT IS A RUN-ON OF "HOT" GD BUZZWORDS WHICH CREATE FLAMEWARS. IT WAS COMPLETELY RANDOM.

Fuck! Now I know why some people accuse the Deanies of being a tad oversensitive!!! Hence the point of my satire.

Bet it would have made you happy of I RANDOMLY put Kerry's name next to the word atheist. :eyes:

[VermontDem2004]

30. I see, a comma would help

I am not the one being oversensitive, you are.

[JohnKleeb]

19. probably choice

btw I have no idea what a Congregationalist is. I also find it odd we have only had one catholic president and the diverse we get in our presidents ancestry is Germany. Just a honest reflection.

[VermontDem2004]

20. A congregationalist

We are Christians who deeply believe that our church must be self-governing. We church members are the church government, and collectively we determine how our church shall be organized, always conscious of our covenant with Christ. Our participation in councils or associations is always voluntary. The word "congregational" refers to the type of self-government within the church.

As Congregationalists, we believe that our relationship with God is one that is deeply personal and private. We do not adhere to any creed, and we come from a myriad of ethnic and cultural backgrounds. We are free to pray and commune with God as we each see fit. No one tells us how to pray, or how to worship, however - our belief system is deeply rooted and built upon Biblical tradition and the teachings of Jesus Christ.

21. interesting

I've never heard of that faith before. Sounds interesting though. I agree with the private religion part, I do the same as a Catholic.

[joycep]

22. We have a neat Congregrational Church here in Memphis

They have been deeply involved in the Anti-war movement and and other Peace and Justice issues. I just could not say enough good things about them. I am a weird Baptist.

[buddhamama]

27. i must object

Clinton's penis is not in Baghdad cutting off the water supply.

It's right here in the good ol' U.S.A. destroying the economy and creating power outages.

sheesh. everyone knows that :eyes:

:hi:

[Coffee Coyote]

28. d'oh!

It IS a busy thing! Last week it was putting nukes in North Korea! :o

[buddhamama]

31. it IS the nukes in N.Korea
