    Obama should send you a thank-you note

    SaltyPappy, comments like yours should be enough to get many Democrats who are considering holding their noses and voting Republican to think twice.

    Hope your boy doesn't choose Romney or we'll have months of arguing about the sins of the Mormon church vs. the Catholic church, when many of us strongly believe that discussion of a candidate's religion does not belong in a U.S. election and has no bearing on the problems facing the country.

    To quote you for those who missed your remarks:

    We Conservatives were hoping for Biden. I am betting the Obamaniacs haven't even considered the huge conflict with the Catholic Church that is now coming... For the Dimocrats (party of the radical feminists, homosexuals, Marxists, athiests, uneducated, lazy, illegals) Biden is a solid pick.
