Franklin Graham Quits The GOP

http://www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/davidbadash/franklin_graham_quits_the_gop

On the one hand, it's embarrassing, for him, and for the GOP.

And on the other hand, it's perfect, the culmination of years of lies, deceit, hate, and hysteria fueled by Fox News, Republican politicians, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Tony Perkins, Bryan Fischer, and a collective willful ignorance....

Graham has made his decision after listening to the very lies Republican politicians told him. Intellectual curiosity not being his strong suit, Graham believed what he was told. The GOP has created its own demise.

"And to top it off, funding Planned Parenthood!," Graham laments. "After all of the appalling facts revealed this year about Planned Parenthood, our representatives in Washington had a chance to put a stop to this, but they didn’t."

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.

Plato said, "There is nothing perfect in nature."

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