Billy Graham to Mittens: ‘I’ll do all I can to help you’

[Thrill]

ASHEVILLE, N.C. — Mitt Romney asked the Rev. Billy Graham for his prayers Thursday and the ailing evangelist came through by praying with the Republican presidential candidate and offering his support.

The 30-minute meeting between the world-renowned Christian leader and Romney could provide the former governor with a major boost among evangelical Christians skeptical of supporting the first Mormon nominated for president.

Graham then asked Romney what he could do to help.

“Prayer is the most helpful thing you can do for me,” Romney said. “And what you’re planning, what your son has shown me is going to be very very helpful. And I appreciate that. Its going to be terrific.”

Graham, Franklin Graham and Romney then prayed and as the meeting ended, campaign aides said that Graham told Romney: “I’ll do all I can to help you. And you can quote me on that.”

5. Before I vomit I'd like to know what

the Graham son has shown Mitt that makes him so happy.

6. They have been unsuccessful discrediting President Obama so

now they are going to discredit the very office he holds if they
have not already. Separation of church and state no longer are
words they adhere to nor do they fear the consequences of losing
that status. They are capable of anything.

7. The ol' racist and his racist son hate blacks more than Mormons.

No surprise there, but what did Obama ever do or say critical of Billy Graham? Nothing.

[Cha]

8. So Billy Graham likes Liars and Bullies! Stupid legacy

9. How I wish that Rev Martin Luther King was still alive

As an African American Christian this really disgust me. That's ok President O I will keep you & your family in prayer!!!!!

10. Did Billy Graham really say any of this?

or was it Franklin Graham speaking for his dad again?

If I recall, Graham backed out of the candidate-endorsing business after Nixon blew up in his face.
This wouldn't be the first time he's done a 180 on a previous and long-held position since disappearing from the public eye - remember, the formerly tolerant-of-gays Graham has suddenly become an anti-gay, pro-Chik-Fil-A activist since becoming too ill to do interviews.

I have serious doubts Romney even met with the guy - but just got the much more rightwing Franklin's OK to say that he did.

[Kookaburra]

11. I think you've nailed it

Franklin Graham is about as much a true christian as Sarah Palin.

[spiderpig]

12. I can't stand that old b*****d

My grandmother sent checks to his freaking crusade when she was living with us and dependent on a social security check - oops - handout to the 47%.

Sorry - have to vent. I hate hypocrites who exploit the elderly.

13. The evangelical supporting the mormon

...

makes about as much sense as the NRA supporting a man who passed anti-gun legislation as a governor.

[Sugarcoated]

14. He's another fake Christian

[Angry Dragon]

15. Billy preys to Satan on behalf of Willard the Predator

[PrBelvr]

16. Mitts is shameless!

This is nothing more than a shameless grab for the religious right vote! What even irritates me is how the evangelicals are cozying up to someone who worships in what they call a cult. Talk about hypocritical??
