Elizabeth Dole would attack Christ too


When Kay Hagan said she was suing Dole for this, I thought Dole would have been smart enough to just stop but she didn't.



Dole, despite outcry, unleashes another 'Godless' ad
U.S. Senate candidate Kay Hagan said she came to talk about issues, but it wasn't long after arriving at an early voting site in Charlotte that a few voters brought up what's become the focal point of the race — the "godless" ad that Sen. Elizabeth Dole is running against her. Dole unveiled a new one Friday. » read more


It doesn't matter to Dole that Hagan is a church elder in a Presbyterian church, and last I heard they were still a branch of the Christian faith. Maybe they are not Dole's kind of Christian, but Christian nonetheless. Dole is a Methodist. Now, while most Methodists I've met remember who Christ spent a good deal of His time with while He was on this earth, apparently this is a part of the Bible Dole skipped over.


Matthew 9:11-13 (New International Version)

11When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and 'sinners'?"

12On hearing this, Jesus said, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

13But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.'[a] For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

Another thing that Dole forgot is that this is a nation made up of many different faiths and many different people. As an elected official, they are supposed to represent all people and not just the people they agree with or like. They are supposed to take care of all of their constituents. If Dole doesn't think they should then she shouldn't be a politician. To attack someone with a lie is also breaking a Commandment and that, Christ made it even more of a sin when He said that it is not what enters into your body that matters, but what comes out of it, in other words, your own mouth. Dole must have skipped over this part too.

The Heart of Man

15 Peter said to Him, “Explain the parable to us.” 16 Jesus said, “Are you still lacking in understanding also? 17 “Do you not understand that everything that goes into the mouth passes into the stomach, and is eliminated? 18 “But the things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and those defile the man. 19 “For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders. 20 “These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man.”

There is a lot of things someone like Dole must have decided did not matter to her when she can say what she has said about someone else. Someone who has devoted herself to her church, but happened to be in the wrong place, according to Dole. kc
