Rich Kennedy Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 I'll just stick with my niche-market study Bible of choice. Sadly, CBP has elements of such stuff. The challenge will be to spot the redoing of actual text, as opposed to the navel gazing highlighting in the niche Bibles. Quote "During the contest trial, the Coleman team presented evidence of a further 6500 absentees that it felt deserved to be included under the process that had produced the prior 933 [submitted by Franken, rk]. The three judges finally defined what constituted a 'legal' absentee ballot. Countable ballots, for instance, had to contain the signature of the voter, complete registration information, and proper witness credentials.But the panel only applied the standards going forward, severely reducing the universe of additional basentees the Coleman team could hope to have included. In the end, the three judges allowed about 350 additional absentees to be counted. The panel also did nothing about the hundreds, possibly thousands, of absentees that have already been legally included, yet are now 'illegal' according to the panel's own ex-post definition."

KShaw Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 (edited) At least they make the idolatry obvious and outrageous enough that anyone even remotely wary of such things should be able to spot it and stay far away. I've been reading David Dark's The Gospel According to America, and it's funny how this flies so directly in the face of that book's ethos. Subordinating the gospel to ideology? Check. Claiming that one has the market cornered on scriptural interpretation? Check, check...
