I’m a Catholic, but how dense and naive can a person be.

If Catholics voted for Barry because they thought he had promised not to include money for abortions in any legislation he pushed...and would keep that promise..

They werent fooled, they were DUMB...

HEEELLLLLOOOOOOOOOOO...

They guy that said abortion is better than the “punishment” of carrying a baby full term ???

They guy who voted for partial birth abortion ???

The guy who has never voted pro-life ???

And they trusted him ???

An intelligence test for voting privileges is SOOOO badly needed...

...Chaput said he is asking Catholics to demand their senators and representatives change congressional proposals "to respect Catholic and pro-life concerns." ...

Huh!...My only question is... WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?...

If just about every black politician / "organizer" is a "Reverend" (Who is NOT a "reverend" rather?... :) and mix politics with religion, why can't the RCC do the same?

I have always said it, if the RCC WANTED TO MOBILIZE THEIR FAITHFULL to defend moral values like abortion and the institution of marriage... THEY COULD. In fact I believe it is their DUTY to do so.

We tried to warn pro life people who supported 0 but like countless others they were blinded by the style and cared nothing about the substance.

Many Catholics got snookered by the “social justice” nonsense going around and forgot about their prolife
obligation to the Church.

for Catholics who voted for Obama are just stupid or too lazy to do research on the guy. and when the anti-Christ comes to town these same people will welcome him into their lives! Being Catholic I know some of those who voted for Obama are democrats and that comes first.

Many Catholics got snookered when the American Bishops didn’t excommunicate Catholic pols and judges immediately after they came out in support, promotion and legalization of abortion on demand.

You say Catholics voted for Obama. I beg to differ with you. CINOs voted for him. REAL Catholics did not.

Now how about the Baptists?
The Presbyterians?
The Episcopalians?
The evangelicals?

Why do people always single out Catholics?

(Because everyone hates Catholics?? And it’s OK to bash them??)

How could the Bishops speak out on a specific bill when there was no specific bill until recently?

BTW, where are the evangelicals speaking out against this bill?

Thanks for the info.

I think a lot of people were snookered into voting for Obama.

Not me, and I’m sure not you, however! God bless!

Based on what I am reading tonight, there is no way this latest rush will not allow a provision for certain low income women to obtain abortion on your buck. That’s the bad news. The good news is that the administration and congress will keep swearing that this is not the case. Eventually, Glenn Beck or someone will produce an example where that’s exactly what happened. Then, the idiots who voted for this will get creamed and the entire thing will be restructured. Glenn Beck is annoying, but this is exactly the sort of thing the country needs someone like him for.
