I am a Catholic and I have never voted for the Rat party and their candidates and never will, and I know I am not the exception
That’s a Supertramp song, not Cheap Trick!
Everyone always knew that black people were a lock for Democrats. They are kept, at great pains, on the plantation.
Women, perhaps another story. As more women feel a need to have a presence in the workplace, a business minded Mitt may start to look better than a business sabotaging Barack. Also, the Democrats have already shot themselves in the foot with remarks about Mrs. Romney which garnered more sympathy for her than disdain for Mitt’s supposed “anti woman” sentiments.
Keep your eye on the electoral map. You’ve always been a straight shooter HTRN.
So straight up from me: I hope to change your mind and have you support a true conservative, Virgil Goode.
Have a great day!
It sure looks that way and it’s disgusting

If you regularly go to church on Sundays you are in the segment of Catholics who tend not to vote Democrat.
The cafeteria or Easter-Christmas Catholics are the ones who are easy pickings for Barack. And even a lot of them were consternated at Barack’s heavy handed reneging on his promise to respect Catholic conscience rights.
Those you describe have fallen for the lie of “social justice”, ie,
support this policy and you’re fulfilling your obligation of charity, without any personal sacrifice.
Even if I wanted to make a statement by voting a third party I would first want to be sure that my state wasn’t going to be anywhere close to on the line. If there would be a doubt I’d vote with the clothespin on my nose. I would have no quarrels with a Goode presidency (pun?) but it ain’t going to happen — the time to try to make a third party viable was years ago, and Obama would have been about as easy pickings as any in a long time.
“I am a Catholic and I have never voted for the Rat party and thier candidates and never will, and I know I am not the exception.”
One hopes that the majority of Catholics thinks (rather than “feels”) the same way.
Regards.
If any churchgoer or nominal churchgoer counts (including people who were born into it rather than pledging their faith as adults), I’m not so sure the support is that solid in the US.
Hope you’re right but more and more can not see or care what’s best for the country in the long term. It’s all about what can they get from the “stash” right now. It’s the same high school mentality where people voted for the class president who, without any authority to do so or any thought on the part of the voters as to how he or she would do it, promised everyone free ice cream.
“Too many here are projecting their point of view upon larger America, which doggedly follows other political trends.”
Question before the 2008 election: “Do you really think they’ll elect this guy?”
The answer: “Nah, they never will. You’re just projecting your point of view upon larger America, which doggedly follows other political trends.”
I think a more fundamental lie in that situation is the lie that government ought to become the instrument of things that historically were done by private churches and private Christians. You can be as generous to the down and out as you wish with your own dime, and God may bless you for that. It doesn’t mean we ought to turn America into a bloomin’ welfare state.
Go to the Real Clear Politics map and then to get the additional 43 votes needed for Obama to hit 270 click on Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, and Florida.

Romney is losing. His path to victory is extremely narrow, and Obama is nearly there ALREADY.
And Romney is certainly not “The Great Debater”. That would have been Newt.
Like with future oil supply, you've got to start drilling sometime, and the best time is NOW.
Drill here, Drill Now!
Ick. That was me in 2008, double fist pumping into the air above my head when Obama took out Hillary. I KNEW he was the absolutely worst, unelectable candidate the Dems could have picked. Unfortunately Republicans did the same thing. Turned it into a dogfight when it could have been an easy stroll to the White House.
The path to victory (or let us say, non-loss) is for Mitt to allow Barack Obama to step on his own je ne sais quoi. Which Barack Obama does with gusto. Mitt just needs to sit there and look as pretty as he can. Mitt could well throw it away. But he’d have to try.
The polling figures today simply are not good enough to support the Rovian projection to November. Obama should not be neck and neck with his presumptive challenger today — he should be way ahead. He’s got big worries.
Write me (the rhetorical me) a big enough check and I’ll be happy to wear egg on my face for life.
As if there will even be 2016 elections if Barack Obama wins?
The November vote is NOT the equivalent of oil drilling. That’s more like, do we pump the oil we have now or do we try algae.
