The Catholic Church didn’t elect this woman. CINOs may have voted for her, but not Catholics.
Just because someone says they are Catholic, doesn’t mean they are. Nancy Pelosi is not Catholic. She may say it, but she isn’t. You can’t be Catholic and pro-abortion. Period.
...go figger
In part it is because the Pubbies are not much better. The Establishment Republicans have, for instance, caved on gay marriage. George H.W. Bush sent out his wife, his daughter-in-law and W’s daughters to pander to the upper crust who think they determines the morals of the country.
Kind of funny. A couple of weeks ago, our priest was mentioning the contraception/abortion thing in his homely. How we should contact our reps and all that. Then out of the blue he starts talking about how we should welcome and treat immigrants better, knowing that more immigrants, mean more dems, mean more of the same. Unbelievable.
I don't live in the 26th, but I followed this race with interest. This was Tom Reynolds's seat. He barely won his last election because a big stink was made up here over his handling of the Mark Foley business. He was replaced by Chris Lee who resigned after his Facebook/looking for transvestites scandal.
So there was some Republican fatigue to start with up there. The GOP ran a woman state legislator who should have done well but who was so tightly scripted, she came across very poorly. The situation was made worse by a millionaire gadfly who runs in that district every election as an ultra-conservative but who isn't opposed to turning into a Democrat when that slot's open. This time he ran as a fake tea-partier.
That left Hochul who was well-known and well-respected in Buffalo as a competent County Clerk who had actually made going to the DMV a fairly pleasant experience. I wondered how she would turn out.
And now we know.
well there’s just a huge section of liberal catholics out there that lapped this up. And are just like the congresswoman who are unapologetic about it and it’s more important to get the free birth control and abortion rammed through over any religious and/or moral objections.
Clear who Hochul cares about pleasing. Crystal clear.
