This is a reply to all >3 of your comments. I am a Roman Catholic.
My Priest said, ‘Obama gave our Bishops the finger.’
I plan to vote for >anyone but Obama. I do not plan to waste by vote. I do NOT want Obama to be elected President again. I will vote for the Republican candidate.
As to the comment about ‘Try your very best, you will struggle, but I am for you because I love you.’
God gives >everyone the grace to get into Heaven. God gives >everyone the grace to become a —living saint—.
Matthew5:48, ‘So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect.’ In my Catholic Bible, the study note says, ‘Perfect’ in the gospels this word occurs only in Matthew, here and in 19, 21. The Lucan parallel (6, 36) >demands that the disciples be merciful.’
Matthew19: 21, To the Rich Young Man, “Jesus said to him, ‘If you wish to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to (the) poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
Luke6: 36, “Be merciful, just as (also) your Father is merciful.”
Thank you for being a Christian.
Please notice in the Catholic Bible, the ‘Teaching Authority of the Church’ uses the word >demands!!! We Catholics be >obligated to become living saints.
“Lord have Mercy!” “Lord give me strength!”
This has been discussed before. Please, see all my comments.
I will not >waste my vote.
As I have said, ‘My Priest said, Obama gave our Bishops the finger.’
Repent your sins. Kneel before Jesus Christ and ask for forgiveness.
I have explained my position.
My Priest said, ‘Obama gave our Bishops the finger!’
I am both a Christian and a Catholic. Thank-you for making my day.
All good points.
I am not at all happy about the prospect of a President Romney, but it scares me much less than another term for Obamao.
Romney is a globalist, but, at least, he does not hate this country like the Dear Leader and the people who put him in power.
For someone who claims to be "Roman" Catholic, you sure have mastered the art of speaking Protestant.
If Romney does win, I think we all must work very hard to found a new third party or bolster an existing third party in time for the next presidential election.
If Dear Leader wins again, don’t bother, as there will not be any more elections.
Praise God & for His blessings to be able to speak a different language than my own.
steve86 if you are a Catholic, you need to talk to a Priest about your comment on ‘suicide.’
Everyone in the world is given life itself from God. Our very lives >belong to God & not ourselves.
Everyone in the world needs to kneel before Jesus Christ and ask for forgiveness. >Perfect contrition works for >everyone.
Not sure I fully comprehend Texas (or any other) politics, but from what I have seen.. there are a few honest, decent, capable, reasonable candidates from a fairly wide range of the political spectrum actually, I don’t have to agree with everything they stand for to respect them....... (but these people often get weeded out), and then there are the rest of them - including especially the “corruptoids” (who should get weeded out, but usually win instead). My Father always said that we (as a society) get the kind of politicians we deserve (that is, the pols reflect the morals of the masses), but that is such a depressing thought! One thing I’ve learned is that honest, decent people are quite vunerable if only because they don’t expect, and are less prepared to employ, the type of “mean” or dishonest tactics that seem to win most of the time? There is definitely something in our culture that needs more attention than we are giving it....?
But my gut feeling is that Mitt Romney WILL NOT be the GOP 2012 Presidential Nomonee ...
It's gonna be Newt and Sarah Palin ...
I guess it's just intuition ... who knows ...
Just for S and G, how they going to get Romney to step aside?

I think the posted article gave a pretty good hint. The selection process is already over before the primaries begin. We vote and caucus like good party members, shoveling money into the candidates campaigns (and even more into the parties war chest). Meanwhile the media pundits publish polls designed to winnow the ranks of the candidates. The party pressures candidates w/ "low" numbers to withdraw and presto we have a presumptive winner w/o the required number of electors to win which is not a problem because all the rejected candidates (except Newt) are being "good sports" and are falling all over themselves saying "here take mine".
I would feel much better about the process if all candidates campaigned w/ a set budget, funded from the treasury, with no personal funds allowed. Such campaigning to end at a set date followed by a single night of primaries with every state participating in a statewide vote (caucus is what you do to a leaky boat). I'd feel even better if all states ran their elections with photo ID.
If DOJ thinks requiring photo ID disenfranchises voters what about me voting in the Wisconsin primary when the final decision has already been made? There is no point in a Wisconsin primary so the entire state has been "disenfranchised"!
The system is inherently corrupt and is open to manipulation by the party elite (and you better bet they like it that way). Money is the lifeblood of politics and as long as we leave funding campaigns a private affair millionaires will buy Senate seats and billionaires will buy the Presidency. So it was, so it shall ever be...
Unless we the people...

Your choice.
Or do you guarantee that we'll take the Senate, keep the House and have no-compromise gridlock for the next four years to hopefully slow the decline?
Of course not. You'll vote FOR Goode. Only someone evil would vote FOR one of the pro-homo pro-baby-killing candidates.
‘My Priest said, Obama gave our Bishops the finger.’
And I say, a vote for either Ayatollah Obama or Bishop Romney is like giving the finger to God.
On which side do you want to be? The one that actively works evil, or the side that fights for Goode?
His competition in the primaries had/have very little prep on the same ground, as shown by the results so far.
The republican party is not about conservatism, or liberalism, or anything in between as the primary drive. It is about winning the most votes in novemebr, for the most amount of candidates.
Conservatives pull it to the right, as much as they can. They need to be on the rope to keep pulling, or the left segments pull it the other way. There is no rest.
Taking a break from pulling allows the rope to go further left.
Romney is a politician first, and a party member second. He heads in a direction that he and his advisors think will get the most votes.
Maybe the advisors and he are way off base, but he is getting the votes.
So, I just don't see sufficient ground swell forming in august to dump him for someone else.
It’s very clear why you are voting for Romney. I will disagree with your reasoning just the same. Enough said.
