"We're Democrats--we have to believe in Jesus!"

[jmknapp]

Saw a funny scene while waiting for the security gates to open up for a Kerry rally. We were up near the front. A volunteer working for security walked up to a lady at the very front of the line and said with a smile, "Are you a Democrat? That Secret Service agent back there says that anybody with a shirt like yours is a Republican."

Her shirt read: "Only Jesus can erase your sins." The "l" in "Only" was a giant pencil with eraser facing downward, erasing "sins."

If anything, I would have thought her shirt was ironic, not that of a GOP fundie.

Flustered, she said she was a Democrat, and then turned around to the crowd and shouted "how many of you believe in Jesus." A lot of people clapped and a crotchety old lady said: "We're Democrats--we have to believe in Jesus!"
