Broun: I’m more Jesus-y than my opponent!
July 11, 2008 at 2:51 pm by Andisheh Nouraee in News10th Congressional District Republican incumbent Rep. Paul Broun is loud and proud when it comes to Jesus. Last year he promised to subject all legislation that passes his desk to a Biblical test
Yesterday, Broun pushed his overbearing Jesusness to new levels of stupidity when he accused his opponent, State Rep. Barry Fleming, R-Harlem, of not being a real Christian.
From Mary Ellen Cheatham at Georgia Public Broadcasting:
“It’s unfortunate that he doesn’t understand redemption and salvation and a changed life in accepting Jesus as lord and savior,” Broun says of state Rep. Barry Fleming (R-Harlem) in an interview which aired Thursday on Georgia Public Broadcasting’s WACG 90.7 FM in Augusta. “It’s not about religion but about a relationship with Jesus.”
Doesn’t understand redemption, salvation or accepting Jesus as lord and savior? Ouch! This Barry Fleming must be a tree-humping druid or something.
Fleming’s campaign web site:
Barry is an active member of Harlem Baptist Church where he has served as chairman of the Board of Deacons and chairman of his church’s finance committee.
As of this afternoon, Jesus has not endorsed either candidate. If and when he does, CL’s Voter Guide will let you know.

Would all of you politicians please stop using my name in vain?
If you know your Scripture, you know that Dad has a nasty temper about that kind of thing.
Thank You and Dad Bless
