Bush is a fake. He says he is a Christian, but he does not listen to the leaders of his own Church. A real Christian would not lie, kill and cheat.
ICH: "The president's supporters in Christendom cling to his words as prima facie evidence of his deep Christian faith. And though Bush is not an evangelical, he certainly talks like one. As has been often noted, Bush effortlessly speaks the language of the born again, and his remarks are loaded with subliminal messages to the nation's 60 million white evangelicals. Ironically, the theology embedded in this language is not even the president's own - it belongs to Michael Gerson, Bush's crack speechwriter, himself a devout Christian and a graduate of Wheaton College, the 'evangelical Harvard'. Far too often, though, the press confuses Gerson's words with Bush's beliefs.
In Exodus, the Ninth Commandment admonishes, 'Thou shalt not bear false testimony against thy neighbor'. God wasn't joking around there. But time and again, Bush and Rove have relied on repugnant lies to discredit their opponents. In the final days of the Texas governor's race in 1994, barroom rumors swirled that Governor Ann Richards was a lesbian, and that she had appointed 'avowed homosexuals' to her administration. Those rumors were lies, but Bush won the race."
CommonDreams: "Six blood relatives of President Bush who support John F. Kerry's bid for the presidency have launched a website, Bush Relatives For Kerry, to publicize their sharp disagreements with Bush's policies."
