How ironic that the brother of the first Catholic president
opposes letting any practicing Catholic (i.e., opposed to abortion) sit on any Federal bench. . .
Many lifelong Democrats, who are Catholic, are fed up. They see Kennedy, Biden, Pelosi, Kerry, Durbin, Mikulski etc. as Catholics for the camera only. I've heard many comment that Democrats stand for Hollywood, abortion, Special Interest Groups, higher taxes, and Union leaders not Union workers. They may not be ready to call themselves Republican or conservative but they are not going to back Democrats. The more Kennedy talks the more turned off they are.
My parents, who remained registered Democrats into their 80's, have switched parties. It's spreading everytime Teddy boy opens his mouth.
Excellent point. Plus, where is the Bishop of Boston when you need him?
