I am not sure why the GOP failed to use the Gay marriage this issue in Northeastern Ohio more forcefully. Kerry signs are everywhere and Bush is being hammered relentlessly for "exporting jobs." No defense is ever offered. The Bush camp is running on the security issue here and it is not playing to well. Folks here have been convinced that we are going through another Great Depression and it is Bush's fault. They have not been convinced that Iraq was an immediate threat to their personal security.

On a positive note, the Bush camp has been sending out some superb direct mail pieces on the cultural issues. If people are reading their direct mail, Bush may be able to eke out Ohio. If they are throwing it in the trash while being mezmerized by not stop "Bush exported jobs" TV ads, Bush will lose Northeastern Ohio by over 200,000 votes, and Kerry will eke out Ohio.

Like everything else about his character, Kerry's religion is a cloak he wears only when it meets his purpose

John Edwards believes Kerry is Christ. Maybe Kerry believes it too.

Who's interesting in all this is none other than Raymond Flynn, former ambassador to the Vatican, former Mayor of Boston. A Massachussets Democrat and very pro-life, he was able to pull off the juggling act.

] Appearing on Fox News Channel's "Special Report with Brit Hume" today, Raymond A. Flynn, President Your Catholic Voice, said it was disrespectful for Democratic pro-abortion politicians to criticize Catholic Church leaders who have the courage to speak out on important moral issues in the political arena. - http://www.yourcatholicvoice.org/index.php?id=press&press=48

"But I think that it's important to not have the church instructing politicians. That is an inappropriate crossing of the line in America."

But I do endorse Democrat politicians instructing inside of Black Churches!

Before I read the other posts, I'm surprised that sKerry didn't say "I respect the Pope's opinion, but . . . "

That's his usual statement when he disagrees with someone.

"I believe in the church and I care about it enormously," said the Massachusetts senator. "But I think that it's important to not have the church instructing politicians. That is an inappropriate crossing of the line in America."

Then how can he oppose any law derived from the 10 commandments?

Kerry believes not only in the false ACLU message of separation of church and state

Kerry takes it one step further....a belief in the separation of church and GOD

Dr. Charles Stanley has been preaching a series entitled "America at the Crossroads", which addresses the implications of politicians trying to govern as if God were not a part of the equation. I've seen a few TV preachers on today, and they are all talking about how important it is to vote for the right person to govern our country for the next few years. A few have come out and have actually mentioned President Bush by name.

I have a few Catholic relatives who are actually supporting Kerry. I cannot convince them to vote otherwise. But if any of you have "religious" people who are willing to hear what most would believe to be God's perspective, Dr. Stanley's sermons can be seen here:

Just got back from Mass, where they were handing out Catholic voting guides.

I guess its OK when this equinesque socialist gigolo douchebag holds a campaign rally in a black church and is compared to Moses, but the Vatican and American Bishops should shut up.

Despicable monster.

The Church is not amused Senator. How dare you elitist, arrogant, posturing POS tell the Vatican what they should or should not support. The Church does not bend to the whims of what is popular, they keep the Word of God.

"But I think that it's important to not have the church instructing politicians. That is an inappropriate crossing of the line in America."

Kerry is anti the America of our founders....it is our heritage that our religious leaders not only instruct our leaders but that they turn not only to them in times of decision but seek the will of almighty God in humility...and ask our religious leaders to not only pray for them but to pray with them...

We have a national day of prayer...and prayer breakfasts....and chaplains in Washington DC and in the military....

In the history of our nation no president has ever been raised to that position other than it was ordained by almighty God

If Kerry were one tenth the 'religious man' he claims to be...he would know this...every 8th grader who has attended Catechism class knows this...

Our own national heritage Kerry denies...and hates....

He is the Marxist his earthy father taught him to be and he is the liar his spiritual father taught him to be

imo

Perhaps Kerry has not studied his Catechism lately!

What the Catechism of the Catholic Church says about homosexuality

Catechism of the Catholic Church

2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.

If you listen to Hitler's speeches, especially the early ones, he was claiming to be a very religious Christian, and prayed publicly for G_d's blessing on his "struggle", he fooled millions of people, just like Kerry is doing today...

Because Bush and those running the GOP are lukewarm conservatives. As result, if Bush loses, failing to capitalize on the support for traditional marriage may be his undoing.

It's just more evidence that getting Republican elected isn't good enough. Liberal Republicans must be shunned and enough conservatives need to step up and constantly apply pressure on Bush and those running the GOP.

The biggest issue if Bush gets reelected will be the issue of judges. If he doesn't have to run for reelection, it will be interesting to see if the judges are as conservative as they have been. There can be no more David Souters nominated .
