Pat Buchanan - "what if the Pope had been appointed to the SC...

[Avalux]

the Democrats would filibuster him for his pro-life ultra-conservative beliefs".

:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Yes, he went there - and then cleverly tried to paint a rift between Democrats and the Pope/Catholic Church because they "don't believe in life".

OMFG.

[Arkana]

1. Buchanan can suck my left nut

They accuse us of "playing politics," and then they turn around and say shit like this. Hypocritical fuckers.

[Left Is Write]

2. Logic is not Mr. Buchanan's strong suit, I see.

[elperromagico]

3. How would the Pope have felt about counting all the votes in 2000?

Just asking. I don't know the Papal position on that issue.

[sonicx]

4. If the pope were President, he'd provide health care to everyone

and would throw out the death penalty.

see, i can use silly logic too.

[rowire]

5. He Almost Suckered Me In

Damn. And to think I was almost suckered in by his willingness to call out the neocon cabal in the administration. I guess "culture war" Buchanan never really left us.

[Avalux]

15. Every now and then he says something against the neocons

and we like that. Don't let him fool ya though! :hi:

[Minstrel Boy]

6. What if Barbara Boxer is elected Pope?

I wonder what Pat would say then, huh? :crazy:

[Mz Pip]

7. Earth to Pat

Pope was not a citizen. Let's just start with that. And would Pat be able to tell us what the Pope's opinion on the legality of tort reform would be or constitutional law or health law? What would his views be on International Courts?

Pat is a one trick pony. If it doesn't reflect some pro-life agenda it has no relevance. :crazy:

Mz Pip
:dem:

[rowire]

8. And What Would Repugs Do If Rev. Sharpton Were Nominated?

hmmmmm?

[4morewars]

Duh !

They would have him killed.

[rowire]

18. Those Damn Atheist

It is ironic that Buchanan decries those who would oppose the Pope's nomination to the Supreme Court and assumes Dems would hate it purely on a religious basis, but he would oppose the nomination of Rev. Jackson or Rev. Sharpton. Of course, he would oppose it the basis race, but we could accuse him of anti-Christian bias (Gee, this is easy Mr. Buchanan --- I like your duplicitous game).

[elperromagico]

9. What if Willy Wonka were elected President?

[Laurab]

23. It'd be a HUGE improvement! n/t

[Wickerman]

10. Pat thinking of running for Prez again in '08?

gonna get that whopping 1%?

[Fenris]

11. Maybe he'll run with Roy Moore on a 3rd party ticket!

Split the Republican Party!:7

[4morewars]

12. I'll drink to that !!

:toast:

[elperromagico]

13. Couldn't we somehow talk ol' H. Ross into running again?

I'm sure he could still pull a good 5% away from the Republicans...

[Wickerman]

19. Dream Ticket

in looneyville!

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

14. pat needs another hlping of french dressing, methinks

what a boob

[Avalux]

17. and maybe a pie!

I love the pie thing...makes me all giggly inside.

[4morewars]

25. It was Cesar dressing

It was Cesar Chavez day. Get it ? :rofl:
I don't know why they invited that racist pig to an event honoring Cesar Chavez.
I guess he was the opposing view point ? :shrug:

[TahitiNut]

16. It's a slander on the Pope and a condemnation of the Court.

What Buchanan's saying is that the Pope lacked the personal integrity to rule according to the Constitution even though centuries of Church Doctrine is what establishes a Papal ruling. He's also saying (admitting?) that Justices rule according to their religious beliefs! Buchanan is ethically corrupt and it is embedded in his thought processes - even to the point he was blind to these slanders.

[mondo joe]

20. And how would the Repigs vote based on anti-death penalty

and anti- war positions?

[Avalux]

21. I want to know how he became such a goddamn expert on the Catholic Church

He really needs a pie in the face right about now. :applause:

[Stephanie]

22. Republicans Own God

It doesn't matter if they hate the particular religious practice - THEY are with the GODLY, and WE are the ATHIESTS - try to get that straight.

[leesa]

24. I sure as hell hope they would! What a nut!

[Bake]

26. Let's see: Pope ... Judge. Hmmm ... two different jobs

One of 'em requires a law degree. And an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States. The other one requires an allegiance to NO constitution but to 2,000 years of dogma. Guess which one ISN'T "Supreme Court Justice."

I admired this Pope. I have been deeply moved by his passing. But I wouldn't have wanted him on the Court.

[saltpoint]

27. You can always count on Pat Buchanan for cultural division --

-- and fear-mongering just as patrons of Jack Ruby's place in the early 60s could count on jiggles and booze.

I predict the two will room together in Hell.

[adwon]

28. And what if

the Pope had weighed in on Buchanan's 'positive polarization' memo in the early 70s?

The best thing about Pat is that he brings the necessary surreal quality to any debate. Illegal immigration is a problem? Build a wall around America! Pat allows us to see the fallacies of carrying many ideas to their logical conclusions.
