There are a lot of decent people who vote democratic exactly because they associate conservatism with the repulsive ideas that some of us have been criticizing on this thread.
“ideas”??? plural?
I only see one “idea” here that seems to be causing a problem. I haven’t read all of your posts, so maybe there are more that you find troublesome.
So...how many of these people do you think would become republicans if the pope would just change the church’s position in order to pacify everyone?
I find it hard to believe these people you speak of are so petrified of this one idea that they would throw their support behind the likes of Obama.
If you vote Obama you must have “other” issues as well.
I’m trying to think of catholic politicians who have stated they would attempt to make artificial birth control illegal....hmmmmm.......can you think of any? I can’t.
I don’t know what to tell you Andy - would you like these catholics to stop calling themselves “conservatives” just because you say there are people out there who don’t like them?
