Sharon expected out of politics. Future of Kadima?

Unfortunately, looks like a stroke has taken out Sharon and everyone is expecting him to not be going back to politics. I admittedly know very little of what I would like to on Israeli politics, but I’ve heard that Sharon’s new party, Kadima, had high hopes of being a huge benefit to the peace process.

Anyone who knows more about all of this, or who lives in Israel, have any in-depth comments?

n Robertson's broadcast from his Christian Broadcasting Network in Virginia Beach, the evangelist said he had personally prayed about a year ago with Sharon, whom he called "a very tender-hearted man and a good friend." He said he was sad to see Sharon in this condition.

He also said, however, that in the Bible, the prophet Joel "makes it very clear that God has enmity against those who 'divide my land."'

Sharon "was dividing God's land and I would say woe unto any prime minister of Israel who takes a similar course to appease the EU (European Union), the United Nations, or the United States of America," Robertson said.

Another gem from Robertson. Why do they still let this man talk?

The '700 Club' host and shining beacon of stupidity came out and said that Sharon's stroke may be God's retribution for giving away land to the Palestinians. Well isn't that just nice. Such a kind, caring and compassionate Christian, that Pat Robertson. Just to refresh your memory, here are a few of Pat Robertson's previous utterances:

--Last October, Robertson said that the recent rise in natural disasters meant the end of the world was near and the second coming was upon us. No word on either. So far.

--This past August, Robertson said the U.S. should assassinate Hugo Chavez, the president of Venezuela. Chavez is scum, but we need the oil. We'll call this one a draw.

--When the people of Dover, Pennsylvania booted the Intelligent Design wackos off their school board, Pat Robertson said the citizens of that town should not expect God's help in the event of a disaster.

Oh, and the other not-so-nice statement made Ariel Sharon's way was from the president of Iran, who said he hoped the Israeli prime minister would die. Such a kind, compassionate Muslim!

Kadima isn't likely to be as strong as we all first thought it would be (the party was expected to win about 1/3 of all the seats in the parliament), but with its current leadership (Shimon Peres and Ehud Olmert), I believe it can still be the biggest party.

What will eventually happen? I don't think anyone knows. The country is still anticipating Sharon's recovery and when we know better what his condition is (granted, he won't be able to perform any role in the government), the fog will clear a bit.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr

Pat Robertson is seriously like my nemesis (although I will admit to watching both the 700 club and fox news from time to time as Comedy Central replacements).

I seriously believe that Heaven will be a place where you can punch Robertson and Bill O'Reilly like Bo Bo dolls for hours of endless enjoyment.

That or I'm going to burn in hell while they laugh at me. But honestly, I think I'd prefer that than to listen to the two of them say "I told you so," for an eternity.
