They do not represent the broad mass of catholics, not even in the east coast cities.
The point is that Catholics are anti-abortion and will not receive any democrats' support.
Not these Catholics-overwhelmingly elected and re-elected with Catholic support:
Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.), Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), John Kerry (D-Mass.), Tom Daschle (D-S.D.), Christopher Dodd (D-Conn.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Jack Reed (D-R.I.), Patty Murray (D-Wash.), Mary Landrieu (D-La.), Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) and Joseph Biden (D-Del.).
I was under the impression that most dems were Catholic!!!!!!!
Great idea (recess appts for them both), and let's hope the WH is already working on it.
I doubt it but it would be the thing to do.
Now that Bolton has been filibustered, nominees will be sent for a floor vote. Access was previously granted to currently requested files, the denial is obviously partisan. I have inquired as to a recess appointment and was told it was likely. If it does not occur, I am lost. Realize Bolton's term would end at 2008 if not reappointed.
Those so called Cathlics that are named are not true Catholics and should have been ex-communicated long ago.
Now I'm really confused. There must have been an oral agreement too. I'm so pissed at the Repulican party over this entire deal.
Come to think of it, it's a pretty regular occurrence with Teddy anyway.
You nailed it. Teddy is in a perpetual filibuster mode with the only variation being between 80 proof and 100 proof ;-)
I would suspect, Jim, that unlike Kennedy and the rest who are CINO (Catholic in name only), they are probably afraid that Saad may actually be a real Catholic. They can't have that.
But the Catholic Church has a hierarchical form of government, does it not?
It is not up to you or me to say who is a Catholic. It is up to the local bishop, or the Pope.
And, despite daily protests to the contrary on this board, there is ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER that ANY of the above-named senators are in any way not recognized as "true Catholics".
Lets amend that to devote Catholics, I dont think any of them fit into that catagory.
you must mean "practising" catholic (aka Authentic Catholic)
How many times have you seen one of these CINOs photographed while attending mass? Inevitably, they attend black, Protestant churches on Sunday (at least during an election cycle).
And send the rest of them home...McCain's the only leader in the bunch.
Tell me...what color is the sky in your world?!
McStain is the WORST...unless you LIKE self-centered, self-absorbed, corrupt media-whores...wait..they ALL are....it does make it tough, unless you really care to delve deeper in to McStain's dealings!
Never the less, McStain is the Manchurian Republicrat...someone should make up T-Shirts with Queen Cankle Hellary as the Queen of Diamonds and wear them to ALL McStain gatherings!
Personally, I'd LOVE to see him twitch and froth at them!
I watched the committe hearings on Bolton and I came away feeling that I had been watching union negotiations where they defend employees, no matter what their performance. AFSCME and the government employee unions are the dems biggest union supporters. Government employees would love to see Barb Boxer et al defending them against any interferance from political appointees. It was not really about manipulating intelligence, though they tried to make it seem like a proxy fight over intelligence and Iraq war.
there the catholics that dont believe in the church
LOL! Is that photo to prove that Kennedy is a real Catholic?
