Blog for America : Virginia is Dean Country | November 22, 2003

Blog for America : Virginia is Dean Country | November 22, 2003

It was supposed to be a ribbon-cutting ceremony. A few words of welcome, a toast or two, maybe a tour of our 20-phone-line Virginia HQ. Dean Corps got into the action and urged attendees to bring donations for local shelters.

Within half an hour, though, the crowd was spilling out of the office onto the street outside. More than 400 sign-wielding enthusiastic Dean supporters crammed the front steps and sidewalk.

We’re talking a full-blown, all-out rally — and Governor Dean wasn’t even there.

Awesome.

Bush’s Remark About God Assailed

Not by the separation of church and state people, but by the evangelicals!

Washington Post: Bush’s Remark About God Assailed

Evangelical Christian leaders expressed dismay yesterday over President Bush’s statement that Christians and Muslims worship the same god, saying it had caused discomfort within his conservative religious base. But most predicted that the political impact would be short-lived.

“The Christian God encourages freedom, love, forgiveness, prosperity and health. The Muslim god appears to value the opposite. The personalities of each god are evident in the cultures, civilizations and dispositions of the peoples that serve them. Muhammad’s central message was submission; Jesus’ central message was love. They seem to be very different personalities,” [Rev. Ted Haggard, president of the National Association of Evangelicals] said.
