I have been a Christian all of my life and I seriously wonder who wrote their Bibles and did they distribute them to all of them. Jesus ministry was to take care of the poor and down-trodden. He visited their homes, he fed the multitudes and healed the sick. I truly wonder how they sleep when they get through saying the things they do.

I believe that Jesus also said "That which you do unto the least of these, you do unto me....and make sure that the government does it, because Caeser is sooooo efficient and effective in what he does." Not. And Jesus also criticized busy-bodies, which would include the sinecures in our government and the demagogues that discourage critical thinking.

Republicans have become so entrenched with ultra-right wing fanatics, bible thumpers, and Tea baggers, its scary. Republicans have allowed themselves to be hijacked into a Party of irrelevance. They no longer represent anyone but theirselves. Their greed has gotten the best of them and it is time to oust them hook, line, and sinker. At this point, I have to say, there are NO good Republicans.
Donna Bergman - 11 years ago
The Republicans claim to be so religious is a false one. NO TRUE Christian would EVER vote to take food away from hungry children and needy adults! Jesus commanded His followers to feed the hungry and clothe the naked. He also commanded His followers to love and care for widows and orphans and to share whatever we have with the poor and needy. The wealthy Republicans and/or the Tea Party are NOT true Christians! They only CLAIM they are! Jesus said that it was easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get to Heaven! It all boils to this: the wealthy LOVE their money a lot more than God! And the LOVE of money is the ROOT of ALL evil!

Ed; Eric Cantor is suppose to be Jewish? Where do the jewish people think it is alright to take food assistance away from school lunches, working poor, the sick, disabled, Our Veterans, Senior Citizens who get their only meal from Meals on Wheels program. Take away 30 million people's healthcare, just because you can. Which Jewish faith would do this! The republican House voted for the 43rd time to defund Obamacare and failed. The voted to defund the food stamp program (snap) for $40 Billion dollars over 10 years, that is 6 million removing from the program a year. The republicans don't care about the working poor who work two or three jobs to try to make end meet but still need assistance to put food on the table for their children. It is called minimum wage job that doesn't pay above poverty level. Republicans say they need to work or no assistance, New Rule-Drug testing all applicants for assistance. How about we drug test all Politicians for their pay checks, $174,000.00 year is not enough for the work they DO NOT DO IN 5 1/2 YEARS since President Obama been in Office. 9-20-2013.

Could Ed Schultz maybe get a rabbi on the show to talk about the ancient Jewish law described in Torah (which is at least partly in our Old Testament, isn't it?). It has been awhile since I read Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, and Deuteronomy. I remember, however, that a form of welfare was legislated in that ancient text and was actually practiced bythe ancient Jewish people in Israel and Judea. When I was attending a Fundamentalist church many years ago, they did sometimes listen with respect to Rabbis, because those guys actually had more of those books memorized than they did.

As a young person I had the advantage of a good Catholic education. Comparative Theology classes in later years introduced me to a wider view of not only Christianity, but to the world's other great religions. I continued as to read as an adult about the psychological reasons behind belief in general and the commonality of various religions. I consider myself a Unitarian by grouping, but am a Secular Humanist (atheist). I consider my self to be a better Christian than those who purport their actions are directed by god. I cringe when I hear the words "christian country" describe America. I pity the "believers" who don't understand that human kindness if the basis for many world's various beliefs, and I fear the downfall of America from a representative republic to a theocracy simply based on ignorance.

She has been drinking from the well of greed. Ted Cruz is another who will do anything to get elected, the facts are wrong, his facts are wrong, Joe McCarthy was wrong. The republicans are wrong. Mr Boehner and Cantor are taking the food out of the mouths of our children, Healthcare away from 30 million plus people in need of Insurance, all over the fact they hate the President because he is BLACK. Where did our democracy go. Corp Greed, Wall St CEO's outrages salaries, Big Banks bailout; but not lending money to the people who need it. The 1% is not rich enough, making it off the backs of the people who made it for them in the first place. Almighty GREED is their bible. Shut down the Gov't because we deserve it. Thanks Ran Paul.

I'm not just sick of GOP/TPs wrapping themselves in the bible, I'm fed up with ANY politician invoking the bible in Congress.
Our founding fathers built a secular government not based on any religion, certainly not the Christian brand. In 1797 John Adams, our second president and signer of the Declaration of Independence signed a treaty with the Bey of Tripoli. This treaty dealt with piracy on the high seas between the two nations and because it dealt with an Islamic nation Article 11 of that treaty touched on the subject of religion. This treaty was unanimously approved by 2/3 the Senate as required by the Constitution, with three of the signers also having signed the Declaration and three whose signatures are on the Constitution.
Article 11 of this treaty reads as follows:
"As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion;..."
The United States are a secular nation where religion is tolerated, not a Christian nation where nothing is tolerated.

Everyone should be ASHAMED of the Republicans in the House of Representatives! They DO NOT care about anyone but themselves. Many of them do take huge farm subsidies including the representative from my state, yet they cannot even help the least of these people. How disgusting are the Republicans, enough so that ALL the Republicans should be voted out of Congress! Let's remember that when 2014 comes around! I have a suggestion, instead of these Republicans working so hard to take food away from people, why don't they provide some JOBS BILLS so that people can get back to work?? Then there wouldn't be so many people on food stamps. Now there's a suggestion that the Republicans should take to heart. Oh maybe they can't do that, that's right, they don't want President Obama to get any credit for creating jobs. Once again, vote all the Republicans out of office next year, including those idiot Republican governors who are suppressing voters rights!

As a person who loves the Lord it grieves my spirit to see these people demonize people who are simply trying to feed their families.

It makes no logical sense why we have to wait for another election to immediately fire these public officials for this waste of taxpayer money, obvious disrespect for this president, gross over-reaching in their powers, and their inability to get past the corporate lobbyists to do the job of the people. Wouldn't any other public employee be immediately fired for something like this? Perhaps this is just another publicity stunt to direct our focus off some of their other sneaky acts happening behind the scenes? I wouldn't be surprised.
