Well I'm Catholic, practicing even.
and know what else? I'm pro-choice and pro-gay rights.
(and hey Shawn...know what? I'm not alone. There are MILLIONS just like me. We're called "a la carte Catholics", look it up)
Great anecdote1 So you're in the 29% of Catholic Democrats that support the domestic terrorist candidate, aka Obama.
That makes you about 1 in 28 Catholic voters. Doesn't seem like a sweeping win for Obama to me.
typical of the obamateur apologists.
it's been ever increasingly clear he'd be crushed in a landslide from super tuesday on.
how in the hell, in light of all his voter deficit demogratphics, it's supposed to HELP him with Catholics and working class and the elderly by getting the endorsement of white wine sippers like John Edwards, and pro-abortion groups like Naral is beyond any sane reasoning. Naral clearly WANTS to be extinct and they will be.
The left is like a comedy show, and as one person said, they've made it SO embarassing to be in any way associated with them.
Cause neither one of the two will ever just STFU and respect the right of the other to their own opinion.
Oh baloney. As soon as Obama won Iowa and the media declared him a viable candidate, black voters shifted their support to him. Bill didn't make any racist comments. That was spin from the Obama campaign that was spread by the media. They knew Bill was an asset for Hillary and wanted him silenced.
Bingo. And anyone who refuses to face that is in a major case of denial for which only a big defeat in November is going to wake them up WAY too late.
and Naral, seriously? are you serious??? like what's it supposed to do, win over the Catholics he's losing??
well, I'm sure a pro-abortion endorsement will do wonders for Obama with all those Catholics and elderly voters and hispanics he's already doing so well with!!
Liberals are like ostriches.
My suggestion to anyone who doesn't understand why Obama's camapign and his positively unhinged supporters have alienated so many people - including Hillary supporters - is to sober up and take a look around.
Read the message boards. The responses to perfectly reasonable people who supported Hillary - for damned good reason - and read up the past six months. Consider willfully painting the Clinton's of all folks as "racists" and dividing the party in two after claiming to be a uniter : not to mention his despicable wife and all the hate she's been responsible for.
In other words, Obama's supporters seemed to miss out on what the rest of us learn at about three years of age: there's consequences for bad behavior.
And that's all.
I really don't get it. Why are Clinton supporters gleefully anticipating the crashing and burning of the Democrats in November
obama's going to "crash and burn" with or without us. Maybe you missed it, but he has < 25% of the blue collar vote, 29% of the Catholic vote (PA) and < 23% of the hispanic vote - and at this point I'd wager to say isn't exactly popular with working women the Democratic Party's core.
But as for the "gleeful" anticipation; I guess you missed the 6 months of Rovian campaigning, Obama, his unhinged supporters, and paid Republicans have waged on Hillary.
Where I come from we learn at about 5 years of age there's consequences for that kind of behavior.
And as for me, I said ages ago that if Hillary wasn't the candidate I'd either support McCain or stay home so it's hardly a new development.
He's already got the black bigots from the Carolina's and the wine-sippers that Edwards appeals to.
All it's going to do is make Obama's problem with the women voters even worse as it looks like what it is: desperate liberals piling on a woman who has what they don't: competence
And Obama already had big problems with women being inexperienced, Muslim, having run a very misogynist campaign, and a habit of calling professional women "sweetie".
Edwards won't do a thing for him. Let's not forget it was Edwards that started sliming Mrs. Clinton well before Rove helped the Obamateur.
and very typical of the way he's run his campaign. appealing to black bigots who run around calling their women "ho" and white wine-sipping supposedly liberated "liberals" seething with resentment.
I thought Obama was way way too inexperienced, arrogant and ambitious even before they ran that despicable, race-baiting, misogynist campaign.
Even before I'd been called a "white-sheet wearing klansman" for not drinking the kool-aide and had seen supposed Democrats saying worse things about the Clinton's than I ever heard the religous right say in the 90's.
There's no way I will EVER vote for that terrorist-sympathizing, opportunist.
