Yes, it's true.

Well I am a Bush supporter and I know for a fact he is a "real" person and has feelings for the people he represents. A young relative of mine (11 yrs. old at the time) had a very nasty form of cancer, osteo sarcoma requiring removal of her left arm and shoulder and was granted a wish by Children's Dream Fund and her wish was, not to go to a boy band concert or Disneyland, but to visit with President George Bush. In October 2002 her wish was granted and she spent the whole day with the Pres., his wife and even got to play with their dogs. I have her picture with the President hanging on my wall. Her condition worsened over the next year and when Pres. Bush was informed of this, during one of her hospital stays he had he staff check up on her and he PERSONALY called her while she was in ICU. The nurses didn't believe her Mom when she asked for a phone to be set up by her hospital bed because the President was going to call. She lost her battle Sept. 2, 2003, the same day I had my band placed.

That's a very sweet story, and I'm sure it's true. It doesn't make Bush an especially "real" or caring person, however.

How do you feel about Willie Nelson? Want to hear a warm fuzzy (true) Willie story?

My husband had Cancer. He had only a matter of months to live. He was a huge Willie fan. Willie was coming to a small town fairly close to us (actually the culmination of a long effort on his part to raise funds and rebuild the courthouse in this little TX town that had burned). The concert was sold out. My daughter called everyone she could think of.....radio stations, TV stations, etc. Finally she found a link on a web site. It said "e-mail Willie on the road". She did. She poured out her heart and she got an answer, dictated by Willie to his daughter (also named Carlene, by the way). It said "My dad said to bring your dad to Hillsboro. Find a security guard named Steve and give him this e-mail. After the show he will take you backstage."

We got the VIP, red carpet treatment. Willie came out after the show and there must have been two dozen people backstage. Some of them were from TV and radio stations, newspapers and magazines. He made them all cool their heels while he visited with this man in a wheelchair who had always wanted to see him in person. He acted like he had all night and there was nothing in the world he would rather be doing. He wanted to give Jim a tour of his bus, but he was just too ill. That was in April and he died the following June.

I realize that Willie Nelson's responsibilities pale in comparison to the president's, but my point is that even an old dope smokin' hippie like Willie has a heart for sick folks.

Bush showed compassion to your young relative, Chris. Clinton got a BJ from someone who was not his wife. What does either act have to do with being a competent president?

It's a good thing though to fear the antichrist. I am thankful that I will not be on this earth during this terrible time.

I just want to clarify that I do not fear the "anti Christ" in the same way that I do not fear other mythological figures.

I find it's best to stay away from discussions on religion, sex and politics. Since this thread is on politics, the BEST place to show support is at the polls when voting. It's amazing how many people have very stringent opinions about political issues but are NOT registered to vote.

Very true.....has everyone who has posted on this thread voted?

I have!!!!!!!!!!!

I thing things work out better when there's a bi-partisan congress/presidency.

I agree. I'd love to see the libertarian party surge in the polls!

Allow me to put you mind at rest.

Daniel 8:9

And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land.

The antichrist will be a Jew by birth, a Roman by citizenship, and a Syrian by nationality. He will conquer the nations of the south, and the east, and the west. He does not conquer the north, for that is where he shall come from - Syria.

Revelation 16:12

And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.

China and the rest of the orient will fight under the direction of the antichrist. They will destroy Babylon. They will break relations with Russia.

It sounds to me that there will never be an antichrist. An Italian Jew who was born in Syria. That is a mighty hard combo to find.

I wish I was as stupid as Bush, get myself elected president and make what he makes, yea, that takes real stupidity!

Wow, I had to go to advanced post to get that little emoticon thingy.

Im sorry guys, Im in a real mood here, Im having too much fun and besides its storming like crazy outside.

How can you be Italian if you were born in Syria, Just have Italian Parents?

I'm sure I will never produce enough evidence to convince you. Study it yourself and you will find these are biblical facts.

Bush's handlers could get a puppet elected. Oh! Wait!! They did.

And "make what he makes?" You mean his great business ventures, or the perqs he gets for those who court him for his power? The only thing Dubya has made lately is a lot of military widows.

And the REAL problem? Many of his most vocal supporters--those from the middle class and middle America--don't even understand what a reaming they're getting. It's sad.

No, it is what is written in the Bible of today, that was translated from a different language by people who thought that the world was flat and that the the continents of Europe, Asia and Africa made up the whole world. No one knows what the original Bible said, nor what the original Bible meant. Many people with political agendas and motivations to keep power have caused the Bible to be rewritten and modified over the years.

It still comes down to faith. Believe what you want and I will do the same. I still challenge you though to research the topic of the antichrist. I'm sure there is lots out there.
