How much money? Do you have proof from the FEC?

Don't expect that from the candidate who opted out of public funding after he said he'd take it.

Your interpretation of what was said does not what was said make.
It just makes you a really bad interpreter.

Jesus wasn't a government or a country

I thought he was the king

Odd. Christians drag their religion into politics all the time. Gay rights, teaching mysticism in place of science.

I'm always skeptical about the "miracles" Jesus performed. Making someone who said they were blind suddenly "see". Making someone who said they couldn't walk suddenly "walk". Someone suddenly "waking up" from the dead. All these things, Binny Henn does every single performance PLUS, you get a slap to the forehead.

Now, if you really wanted a "miracle", you could "grow" a limb back. It wouldn't even have to be all at once. A little at a time would be cool. Now THAT'S a miracle I could believe in.

Too bad American Christians put their support behind Iraqi Christian genocide. Let's see, anti science, they hate their own gay children, they support Christian genocide in Iraq.

If there ever was a Jesus and he somehow magically came back today, beard, long hair, white moo moo and all, American Christians would certainly never accept him, especially if he looked like every other middle easterner.

but at this point I can only claim to be an aspiring liberal.

As long as there are taxes, and the goverment spends them, by definition there is redistribution of wealth. The question is whether or not you think low income and middle wage earners' income should be redistributed to those that are already rich and don't need the extra income, or whether those that need the income should have their money sent to offshore accounts and hoarded by the rich, thus preventing it from being of any use to things like our infrastructure.

Jesus said that what you do to the least among us you do unto me. The Republicans have done some very bad things unto Jesus. Just look at our economy, our wages, our benefits, the torture, rendering, kidnapping, lying, stealing, etc.

You try to simplify this so you can ignore the reality. This is not about whether the rich should have their taxes returned to reasonable rates or not. This is about a mindset that favors the powerful and rich over the average and poor, even if this leads to an infinite degree of suffering upon the lesser among us. Robertson is rich and powerful. Who do you expect for to fend for? How many millionaires are going to argue for higher taxes for themselves? Shouldn't he be advocating for things that improve the lives of the most of his brothers and sisters instead of a select few? If Americans made better wages, wouldn't they be able to tithe more? Why would a Christian have any problem with a ruling entity being compassionate to their suffering citizenship as opposed to oppressing them and bringing tyranny to them?

My point is how much Robertson represents the antithesis to what Jesus was about. He is someone that has exploited Christianity to become rich and demonstrates how anti-Jesus-like he is by who he supports and what he advocates for and against.

Like it or not, the only chance the lesser among us have to preserve what rights and standard of living we have or hope to achieve is through a body bigger and more powerful than us as individual citizens, and bigger and more powerful than those who would otherwise oppress us and bring undue suffering on us.

When a government allows a special interest to oppress and swindle us, and this leads to a lot more suffering on our part and a lot more income for the oppressor than they would have had otherwise, it is incumbent upon that government to return that stolen wealth and use it to palliate the suffering they allowed to occur.

If Robertson thinks this is anything other than justice, if he thinks Jesus would have taught any differently, he is as full of shit as we already know he is.
