Yes, I am in. It is simply a Christian Alliance.

Catholic or Evangelical? What is the difference? We both are in this together. But so are the Jews.

Christians, Jews and and some “groups” are all in this battle. Like it or not. The “book” describes those and the enemies.

Christians will not set out the 2012 elections like they did in 2008. We will have a replay of 2010.

A bunch of Traitors to the faith will go Bye Bye. Obozo with them.

I hope -- I pray -- that Obama has awakened a sleeping giant and that he gets thrown out of office in November with numbers greater than the Nixon/George McGovern landslide of 1972.

If HALF the Catholics or gun owners or conservative women would actually get to the polls and vote, this would happen.

In my mind, anybody who loves freedom should join this movement, even atheists.

political coincidences aside, Protestantism is a denial of Catholicism. Is that "different" enough for you?

Votes reflect what one really believes.

47.8% of the Evangelicals and 11.8% of Catholics affirm the Bible is Literally true. 6.5% of the former and 19.8% of the latter see it as an ancient book of history and legends.

Evangelical Protestants are the most politically conservative Christian tradition. Within each tradition, those with literal views of the Bible are more politically conservative than is their tradition overall. Catholics that are Biblical literalists (11.8%) hold more conservative political views than the Catholic population in general does. The Biblical literalist Catholic is as politically conservative as the Biblical literalist who is Evangelical (47.8%) or Mainline Protestant. (11.2%) American Piety in the 21st Century, Baylor Institute for Studies of Religion http://www.baylor.edu/content/services/document.php/33304.pdf

72% of Catholics said that the will of the American people should have more influence than the Bible on US law, as compared to 63% of the general public. Pew Research Center, “Pragmatic Americans Liberal and Conservative on Social Issues,” August 3, 2006, http://people-press.org/reports/pdf/283.pdf (accessed June 24, 2008).

37% of Catholics in the last election were registered as Democrats, 27% Republican, and 31% as Independents. Aggregated Pew Research Surveys, 2007. http://pewforum.org/docs/?DocID=295#ideology

Who is the "They" you are defaming - Catholics or Evangelicals?

Yep, I guess it does. No Pope. And no King but Jesus, God's son. So the dispute is among leadership by men, not about scripture.

Grow up. Join the battle. We are all in this, like it or not.

Catholics are socialists by nature. Interestingly, those opposed to socialism also tend to move away from the concept of centering the entire religion around sin. Socialism thrives in the world due to Catholics.

It is not an evangelical-Catholic alliance. Period.
It’s about Americans voting for the best candidate AVAILABLE. Period.
There are enough attacks on the American people without trying to push a religeous divide on us as well.

He's not defaming anyone.

And it's almost certainly Catholics.

Ethnics in the Democratic party - Irish, Italian - have been leaning Right for 30 years. The "Reagan Democrats".

But in the wake of the financial collapse of 2008, they reverted to the Democratic party out of fear.

Perhaps understandable. The old Ward bosses undoubtedly came by and said, "see - deese Repugnants is no good. Vote for our guy, even if he is a bit scary".

So they did. But after all that cooing in their ears, the real Obama came out: a thug surrounded by cheap enforcers, bent on intimidation and extortion.

Now the same people have gotten a little taste of what living in the old Soviet Union was like: they don't care what you think. They'll just bully you until you do what they want you too, and that means party time for them on everyone else's dime. Work is not for them...that's for the prole class. Beeg Men don't make things, they take them.

So get a clue. Catholics blessed us with the Kennedy's who brought us mass immigration from the Third World, un-civil rights (anyone non-white outranks a white any day of the week, 'cept if they're Irish illegal immigrants), and a collapse of moral values - Teddy being the poster child for wanton behavior.

So they put these freaks in, they can get a clue and take them out.

Your anti-Catholic underwear is showing. And it’s not pretty.

I never used nor implied a divide. I simply said that Christians, Jews and some others are all in this together.

We have a common enemy who wishes to destroy the finest nation in the world.

I know the title says “alliance”. But that choice of words was not mine.

Yes, it is about time that Christians and Jews realize that if we do not hang together, we will surely hang separately!

Islam and Liberalism are two linked cults, simply not compatible with civilization.
