Bishop Tobin said he was a Democrat until AFTER the 2012 convention, at which the delegates booed God.
That the Democrat platform was pro-abortion for the previous forty years didn’t bother him as much as a little booing of God?
I have read that Tobin said he voted for Obama in 2008. But I am not certain that is true.
Then what is your motive in posting it?
It didn’t seem to bother Sarah Palin either who came out and endorsed a RINO/Democrat “Unity” ticket for AK governor over the pro-life governor who succeeded her. The top of the ticket is wishy-washy on abortion and other social issues, and doesn’t like to talk about them and the democrat he picked for his running mate is a 100% pro-abortion, pro sodomite “marriage” democrat. FR Palin fans have trashed me for daring to say she has no principles.

I am always being told that the reasons Catholics/Jews/Orthodox/what-have-you can't vote Republican no-matter-what is that because when their poor penniless and starving ancestors first arrived on these shores the mean old New England Yankees wouldn't let them join their country clubs. You know . . . because, goodness knows, if you're poor and starving to death and have pulled up your roots and transplanted yourself to an alien land just to be able to live without starving or getting a bayonet in the gut, the first thing you want to do is join a country club.
How many "smart" people don't realize that these mean old nativist Yankees were post-orthodox unitarian radical social reformers? Why do contemporary conservatives constantly get blamed for something radicals were guilty of?
Also, historically anti-Catholic and anti-foreign sentiment in the United States was not based on "reactionary" religious beliefs but on enlightenment republicanism and the notion that Catholic and Jewish (and Orthodox) foreigners were ignorant superstitious reactionaries who would soon return us the the Middle Ages? Even FReepers don't seem to get this part, imagining that all anti-Catholicism and nativism comes exclusively from the allegedly congenitally low IQ's of people who don't realize the stuff in the Bible couldn't possibly have happened.
