Yes, I know that.I’m a Bernie supporter and she is going to be the Democratic nominee. She has won more votes. Over 3 million more votes than Bernie.

I don’t think anybody disagrees that SS is insolvent and that without some kind of major fix it will hit the wall. But that wasn’t my point anyway.
I simply find it truthful and honest. I’ve even heard Clinton people saying it is fine for Senator Sanders to remain in the race still and I imagine those Californians who wish to still vote for him, will, as will those who wish to support Hillary, will do so. But at the same time it is time for Bernie supporters, I believe, to accept that we ran a good race. Be proud of Bernie and what he stands for. But beyond the time to accept that Hillary has won and that as she says, we have far more that unites us against the Republicans than divides us. And take Bernie’s cue as well and heed his words that he actually has a very steep climb of any hope to surpass SOS Clinton in even pledged delegates. And like I said she has received over 3 million more votes. And take the cue from Senator Sanders that as he repeatedly has said, he will do everything he can to keep someone like Donald Trump from ever becoming President of the United States.
I’m really not all that shocked on this website. Just because I’ve found posters here lean heavily Republican no matter who it is with the R after his name. And not only on social issues but other issues as well.Half of the people on this website are voting for Trump??? I’m just
Me too. To me I’m surprised it’s that high. I’d say for a religious forum this one leans left politically.Half of the people on this website are voting for Trump??? I’m just
Yes Catholicism has things spelled out in black and white and I know it is a source of great peace and comfort for many in their faith walks. And then there are other believers who may prefer some gray and an open lid to the box along their routes when it comes to understanding God and on matters of faith and morals. We’re all striving for the same ultimate destination though.
Really? You actually think CAF leans left? Do a search and see who won political polls on CAF 4 yrs ago. Primary polls and then for the general. I haven’t gone back before that but I wouldn’t expect the results would be much different. More likely the trend in the generals would have been Bush over Kerry for instance. And I only need to see all the negativity towards the Clintons and Obamas and John Kerry and Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi to know where the majority of posters on this forum lean politically. And I certainly don’t find it leaning left.
I think for a religious forum of a religion that would not align itself with the “left” of Americas politics that yes, caf is left of other religious forums. Not saying it isn’t on the right end of the spectrum. Just that in comparison there seems to be a lot more expression of liberal ideas here than in other forums. Religiously and politically.
I understand the reaction. Let me put this in perspective. If we go back to February, March and even April. Donald Trump had very few supporters here, far less than the general population. Most Catholics here are conservative, true, but they are more pro-life than conservative. A totally solid pro-life liberal would likely change the landscape here, have this same people holding their nose for Trump, holding their nose a voting for that social liberal. As Catholics, we should vote for the poor and innocent, not what best suits our bank account. Most of the people do this.Half of the people on this website are voting for Trump??? I’m just
, then Clinton should rate four, for her consistent and unwavering support and promotion of abortion. This is such a serious evil, worse than slavery and on par with genocide, that her position on it is not only morally indefensible, it makes it very difficult to justify voting for her. No other candidate running but Trump would have even made her worthy of consideration, in my opinion.Left? Seriously? This is a very conservative forum.
Still confused. Catholicism is not naturally “right” or “left”. But this forum is undoubtedly pretty far “right.”
The appointment of one and possibly three Supreme Court justices will shape our country for decades. Yes trump is a new convert to the pro life movement who perhaps does not have all his feet wet yet. But I would think this promise to nominate pro life judges should factor into any vote. Hillary or trump will win. I’ll vote for the guy who has the reasonable chance to advance the pro life agenda. Even if he isn’t pro life enough.
Hillary has advocated the torture and killing of noncombatants here whole career.
Well maybe not her whole career.
One specific candidate has profited from a very liberal interpretation of eminent domain. His main self proclaimed strength is his business savvy and expertise. Hmm, will he be really willing to appoint conservative judges when doing so will affect his business practices negatively? Or is he going to “negotiate” the nomination process.
Luckily I think trump is going to win. So those people who abstain from voting will have the benefits of the pro life appointees. And the moral high ground to rail against him. I know many people who never vote who enjoy this position…
They can also enjoy the position of having to explain to their children and grandchildren why they didn’t oppose the killing of unborn children when they had the chance.
If one considers opposition to abortion, mandated contraception and homosexual marriage being " to be to the right “you are correct. It is unfortunate that the Democrat party has so embraced the culture of death that their is no place other than"the right” for Faithful Catholics to go
