Why is it these crooked Republicans invoke the Almighty

[rustydog]

and state they seek His forgiveness AFTER they are caught breaking the law instead of living Christian lives and not going down that twisted crooked thieving, bribe-taking road?

Is this a rhetorical question?

I hope Abramhoff, Scanlon, Delay, Ney, Burns, Hastings, Hastert, et al, all get to give the:
" I will strive to achieve the forgiveness of the Almighty..."

America should shout a collective: "Blow me, convict!"

1. They oughta invoke St. Jude

2. Religion is the last refuge of a scoundral.

They are hoping to get "forgiveness". It's like a shelter for them. They hope if they repent and act like they are sorry folks will look the other way.

Common ploy for a lot of crooks. I saw it all the time in prison. We called it "jail house religion".

4. Religion is the FIRST refuge of a scoundrel

Patriotism is the last one.

3. Same reason Islamofascist terrorists invoke Allah

They're hiding behind their God to justify the most diabolical acts known to humanity. And both Islamofascist terrorists and Christofascist repunks will pay through the nose for their blasphemy, if not in this world, then in the next, where they will roast in Hell for eternity.
