Democrats in Churches

Why is it that Democrat candidates get to stump in churches (usually "Black" ones), while if a Repub even thinks about doing so, they are set upon by a horde of ACLU lawyers?

Republicans have more money that can be leeched off by lawyers.

Clinton, Kerry, Edwards.

 

Democrats are only playing to their constituents. A good number of them attend church regularly, now they are just using it to their political advantage, which the republicans have done for ages. As far as race goes, it might be because republicans rarely carry much of an African American vote.

Democrats are allowed to, Repubs are not.

 

I think you just made this up.

 

In order to retain tax-exempt status, a church cannot endorse a particular candidate, but candidates can speak at the church. Often churches will use language that indicates they support one candidate or another without being to explicit.

 

And if Repub candidates speak in churches, the ACLU screams "separation of chruch and state!" But when Democrats speak in churches, not a wimper.

 

That's because Democrats only speak in the Churches to convince the suckers into believing that they believe in God. Whereas, Republicans on the other hand, actually believe the tripe they vomit up.

Well, just look at what happens: A Masonic Xian gets elected president and the next thing you know he’s sacrificing good Americans lives trying to convert ME Muslims into becoming good little Xians.


So you obviously can see the ACLU is perfectly sensible in their decision,

PS: Could you provide a couple links proving your aligations. Or did you just make it all up?
Thanks!

 

Prove it.

 

so, how do you classify bush saying that G-d told him to invade afghanistan and iraq? does this count as "stumping"?

American Civil Liberties Union.
They fight for the rights of the people, but are essentially seen as liberal in the eyes of Americans - they fight for atheists, minorities, etc. which Christians don't enjoy.

 

Every campaign season, look to see who speaks in churches, and who doesn't, the Democrats are allowed to, and the Repubs are not, very strange, just watch.

Kerry went to churches, Bush didn't, the same will happen in '08. Black churches are viewed as political arms of the Dems, where Dems can campaign, but Repubs can be merely introduced in churches, but not give speeches. The fix is in, great subject for a documentary.

 

mostly what they do is supply free legal counseling to people whose rights have been trampled on, and they will occassionally send a lawyer to defend one of those applicants, to the very end.

 

The ACLU sided with a school district who told a child she couldn't write about Jesus when the essay was to be about the childrens' heros.

 

Is this a new rule?

 

The ACLU jumps on the Repubs, but not on the Democrats, why is this?

Not only has IceAge not provided a single example of a Democrat being allowed to speak in a church when a Republican has not, he is mischaracterizing the work of the ACLU, which often fights for the rights of religious people.
