http://www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/davidbadash/franklin_graham_quits_the_gopOn the one hand, it's embarrassing, for him, and for the GOP.

(46,354 posts)1. Franklin Graham is near-irrelevant.
Even his Dad has gone down in disgrace, being exposed for his anti-Catholic and anti-Jewish activities, that he kept denying until actual tapes were located.

trying to tell us what we should and should not do with our bodies. Those are the men who one day may have to eat their language.

Indeed their party is imploding from years of lies and dreamed up conspiracies not linked to reality.

Please shut up. Go home and pray for President Obama and his family. Keep praying until your President is delivered. Thank you.
