I am a practicing Catholic and for a democrat that's getting harder to do

[burn the bush]

was that Biden that just said that and what the hell is that suppose to mean?

[Darkhawk32]

1. The perception that Catholics are starting to vote Republican

now with greater frequency....

mostly over the abortion issue.

[Dookus]

2. It means the church itself has become political

and not in favor of Democrats.

[BlueEyedSon]

3. Oh fuck him. What kind of catholic could condone Bushco's foreign

policies??

[CWebster]

4. He is an embarrassing crackpot

to always have front and center.

He needs the hook.

[Pirate Smile]

5. I took it as a slam at some of those nasty Bishops trying to hurt

pro-choice Catholic politician.

[cindyw]

6. I think he was referring to how Catholics Dems are attacked by repubs

There were Dems Catholics threatened and who lost their jobs for their support for Kerry in the election. I also think he was referring to how Kerry was attacked by some in the Church.

7. If he doesn't vote against her, he is just grandstanding nt

[CWebster]

8. Yep, typical joe.

[Spazito]

9. I agree, it is all for show if he doesn't vote no, imo

he is pointing out exactly why he should vote no yet he is going to vote yes, negates all he said before imo. There comes a time when principle should over ride tradition and formality and this is certainly one of those times.

She is the worst face the US could put forth to the world as representing the policies and beliefs of the United States.

10. Nice internal rhyming in yer subject line, Spazito!

Hmm... I think I've hijacked my first thread.

[Spazito]

11. LOL! I didn't even notice that!

I had to go back and read my post to see it, it wasn't intentional, honest, lol.

12. Maybe it has something to do with this

Catholic priests and nuns delivered aid to a village in india hit by the tsunami and they refused to give it to them unless they would convert their religion.

[burn the bush]

14. that sickens and saddens me. Is there a we are really really sorry site?

[rniel]

15. The thing is

If their religion is really great it doesn't have to sell itself or be forced on starving people. People find it on their own.

[hedgehog]

17. Are you really sure about that?

Yesterday the thread was about unidentified nuns, now it's Catholic priests and nuns. Amazing how a story can grow in the re-telling.

[donsu]

13. it means he's a bushgang mole

nt

[trezic]

16. Or maybe

it means that the Democratic Party is working hard to turn its back on the remaining half of the FDR coalition.

[mrgorth]

18. I'm one

and he's right. I think some of you are reversing his statement. He's saying he IS a dem and it's becoming harder to be a practicing catholic.
