    Transcript:

    He didn't ask the candidates to recite, just what their favorite was. Not sure about Gravel and Dennis, but everyone else answered appropriately, particularly given that Russert limited the answer to 10 seconds.

    Rimrocker, I did not realize "The Sermon on the Mount", "The Good Samaritan", or "The Golden Rule" were Bible verses. Nice try. They are stories or sayings that appear in the Bible, but they are not verses. Everyone knew what Russert meant. My point stands -- the democrats were unable to provide a single verse. Heck, Kucinich gave something that wasn't even in the Bible!

    What is your favorite VERSE, rimrocker? Noah's ark? LOL

    the sermon on the mount and the good Samaritan are most certainly comprised of bible verses. although, "blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth", isn't compelling campaign rhetoric. :)

    your initial post is dishonest. thou shalt not lie ...

    So, the Golden Rule is not a verse?

    Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.


    Gee, it looks like it comes from Luke 6:31, which is the way most Christians reference bible verses.

    My favorite? Several, depending on my mood, but I always come back to this one:

    blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.


    --John 20:29

    Yours?

    I somehow guess it's not Timothy 6:10...

    For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

    i prefer "blessed are the cheesemakers," although, i don't think it's meant to be taken literally.

    He also told one Democratic senator to go **** himself. Wonder what verse Cheney got that from.

    Tim Russert should be ashamed of himself.

    Oh, and my favorite is Ezekiel 16:28

    "Thou hast played the w**** also with the Assyrians, because thou wast unsatiable; yea, thou hast played the harlot with them, and yet couldest not be satisfied."

    I need to meet this chick, I could pass for Assyrian I think.

    They should have just said..."Thou shalt not judge" or is it "Judge not lest ye be Judged"

    Same difference.
