Who knew? Somehow I think the GOP bible-thumpers used that room to rewrite the bible to THEIR specifications because many did not practice what they preached. Maybe they used that room to search out bible words to justify all the sins that were committed while they were running the show.
Maybe they even used that room for 'fun stuff.' Maybe that's where the ten commandment plaque and nativity scene were displayed year round, but now we'll never know cause it's been closed!
Republicans to lose their Bible-study room in the Capitol
If studying the Bible is what led Republican Christianists to not be able to pass a budget (leaving Democrats to clean up the mess), not rein in Bush's illegal and unconstitutional warrantless wiretapping program (leaving Democrats to clean up the mess), and not be able to do one damn thing about the Iraq Clusterfuck (leaving Democrats to clean up the mess), then less Bible study, please, say I.
GOP’s bleak retreat into the minority
By Patrick O’Connor
Rep. Sam Johnson (R-Texas) expressed astonishment during a recent meeting of conservative lawmakers that Republicans would soon lose the room where members hold their regular Bible study, an aide present said.
On a similar note, Republicans across Capitol Hill have been forced to confront the unwelcome presence of Democrats touring their offices to map out arrangements for the coming Congress.
The Republican retreat from ornate leadership chambers and spacious committee offices has been a harsh awakening for members of the outgoing majority, but that is just one of the many difficult realities GOP members and staff must accept about life in the minority.
LINK I hope the GOP fundies read the Hell parts in the bible. They should be scared..really scared. What Bush etc., has done and created in Iraq is hell. Bush needs to be held accountable to his last breath. Separation between church and state was put in the constitution for good reason. We can at least thank the GOP for reminding us why that is SO important. Maybe someday Iraq will see the value of separation of church and state also, but with the blatant hypocrisy of Bush's etc., words and actions, that may never happen. When we and the world saw our own democracy being squandered, used and abused it's damn difficult to sell it to others. I wonder what the DEMS will now use that room for..any ideas?
