Keyes Says Christ Would Not Vote For Obama :rofl:
Republican Candidate Says 'Spanking' Comment Insulting

CHICAGO -- Illinois Republican U.S. Senate candidate Alan Keyes injected religion into his race against Democratic candidate Barack Obama on Tuesday.

According to a list of quotes put out by the Democratic candidate, Keyes said in a radio interview at the Republican National Convention that Jesus would not vote for Obama. The quote was part of a list Obama sent reporters of Keyes' accusations and epithets about him since Keyes became a candidate, NBC5 political editor Dick Kay said.


Kay also reported that Keyes called Obama a "socialist and a liar" on a cable access news show on Monday. Obama said he wants to win big to give Keyes a spanking because Keyes wages a scorched earth campaign. Keyes then went into a very long analysis of the word "spanking" and suggested it might be related to slavery and insulting to African- Americans. He would not answer when asked directly if he was insulted.

Reporters also pointed out that Obama had said Bobby Rush had spanked Obama in the Congressional race when Obama ran against Rush in 2000. Obama said Tuesday night it was tongue-in-cheek and that everyone knows he wants to win the race for working people. He also said no one has run a more positive campaign than he.

Keyes, who has focused his campaign on abortion, said that his statement about whom Jesus would vote for was based on Obama's pro-choice votes in the Illinois Senate.

"Christ would not stand idly by while an infant child in that situation died," Keyes said. "And I'm not the only person, obviously, who thinks if you are a representative of me, I cannot vote for you if you would ignore the dignity and claims of that child's life. So, yes, I did respond quite logically -- you'll see it's quite logical, right -- with the conclusion that Christ would not vote for Barack Obama, because Barack Obama has voted to behave in a way that it is inconceivable for Christ to have behaved."

Spanking, Jesus, and Obama all in one thread :)

1. Christ would vote for Kucinich.

At least in the primary O8)

[Buzz Clik]

2. Christ is not registered to vote.

And unless something changes soon, he won't be voting in 2008.

4. I think he told Pat Robertson how he wanted to vote though, so he could tell others

:)

6. He was a Roman Citizen, wasn't he? nt

[Dollface]

3. Keyes is a candidate? Not going too well then, eh?

[Richard Steele]

5. Back in the day, Jesus would have slapped the shit out of Keyes.

John 2:15
And when he had made a scourge of small cords,
he drove them all out of the temple,
and the sheep, and the oxen;
and poured out the changers' money,
and overthrew the tables;

[Didereaux]

7. ah, but the REAL question is: Would Bhudda vote for Keyes?

8. Christ isn't even a citizen

Maybe Alan can do some lobbying for retroactive citizenship for Jesus.

Alan Keyes is a moonbat.

9. I know one thing --Jesus or Christ would NOT vote for Keyes

[youthere]

10. Christ is not eligible to vote in the GE.

[youthere]

11. We just called Christ to confirm and he said Keyes is a giant turd...

and Keyes can "suck his d*ck." That's a direct quote from the messiah.

[meegbear]

12. Jesus would be an immigrant, so legally couldn't vote ...

unless he got a work visa or something. Maybe he could get a job at Wal-Mart or something....

[SteelPenguin]

13. Hitler wouldn't vote for Obama

Does that even it out?

Anyone who plays the "Jesus wouldn't vote for..." card is a fool and a liar.

[The Straight Story]

16. Indeed

Sad that so many try to tell us how someone they never met will vote :)

[liberalhistorian]

14. Christ wouldn't vote for Keyes or any of the other

GOP candidates. Christ wouldn't even vote for a lot of the Dem candidates, except, perhaps, Kucinich and Edwards. What the fuck does Keyes, know, anyway; he practically disowned his own daughter for being gay. Some family values there, idjit.

[youthere]

Way to GO Obama supporters...you messed around and lost the savior vote.

[youthere]

15. delete-dupe.

17. And from the GOP debate:

18. Speaking of Christ, did you hear that Pontius Pilate picked up a product endorsement?

He's now hawking anti-biotic soap.
