Apparently democrat majority leader of Guam said, ‘to be a pro life democrat, you really redefine what Democrats stand for’

Actually, you have that backwards. The Republican convention’s primary focus was on jobs and improving the economy. I expect, based on the line up, the Democrats are going to focus on social issues, especially “women’s” issues.

Obama wants the focus as far away from the economy as he can. That’s why his only “solution” is “tax the rich.” He knows that appeals to people’s envy, and no Democrats will do the math and realize that taxing the rich will still result in a faster growing debt under Obama.

👍

I think the over arching women’s issue here should be the economy.

Which evil policies? The ones that enables the sick to access medical care they could not otherwise afford or the ones that have existed since he was a child with no more than token opposition?

The ones that -]enables the sick to access medical care they could not otherwise afford/-] cut $700 billion in payments to healthcare providers, hospitals, and Medicare Advantage plans and guarantees that seniors will receive less care?

President Obama himself made when he warned that failure to implement a “Doc Fix” (thereby cutting provider payments) would “not only jeopardize our physicians’ pay, but our seniors’ health care.” In fact, he said that allowing such cuts would be “punishing … the millions of Americans who count on Medicare.” A recent survey by the Physicians’ Foundation indicates that Obamacare will compel more than half of doctors to close or significantly restrict their practices for Medicare patients.

In the real world, the only similarity between cosmetics and politics are that they end in -tics.

Poli-, from Ancient Greek πολύς (polus, “many, much”)
-tics, blood-sucking parasites.

Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.

Have you ever wondered, if both Democrats and Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?

Have you ever wondered, if all politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?
 
Anti Catholics staff dnc panel
Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on a Democratic National Convention (DNC) event hosted by Catholics for Choice (CFC):

If the Ku Klux Klan were hosting a panel discussion on racial relations at the Republican National Convention, the Republicans would rightly be condemned for doing so. But no price will be paid by the Democrats for allowing the most notoriously anti-Catholic organization in the nation, Catholics for Choice, to host a panel on religious liberty. “Keeping the Faith in the Democratic Party: Protecting Religious Liberty for Everyone” is scheduled to meet between 3:30 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. today.

Catholics for Choice (formerly Catholics for a Free Choice) is not simply a pro-abortion group: it is decisively anti-Catholic. Twice condemned by the bishops’ conference, its stated goal, according to its previous head, Frances Kissling, is to “overthrow” the Catholic Church. The current president, Jon O’Brien, has been equally vicious in his statements against Catholicism. He has been preoccupied this year opposing the religious liberty campaign organized by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. Thus the perversity of having him command a panel discussion on religious liberty at the DNC.

In 1995, Marjorie Reiley Maguire, who for years worked closely with the leadership of CFC, branded it “an anti-woman organization” staffed by people who never go to Mass. Lavishly funded by the likes of the Ford Foundation, it would collapse if it had to rely on Catholic contributions—or even non-Catholic individuals—for support.

Speaking at today’s event will be activists from a CFC-organized umbrella group, the Coalition for Liberty & Justice. Several of the groups that comprise this entity have hijacked the Catholic label in service of their anti-Catholic agenda. They include: CORPUS, DignityUSA, New Ways Ministry and the Women’s Ordination Conference. An array of radical left-wing groups with a history of Catholic bashing will also be on hand.
In other words, the DNC’s idea of religious liberty means welcoming anti-Catholic bigots to deliver their message of hate.

USSCB has said Catholics For Choice ‘is an arm of the abortion lobby.’ Bishops in 1993 said ‘Catholics’ For Choice is not an ‘authentic’ Catholic organisation and said it had 'rejected unity with the church on important issues of long-standing and unchanging church teaching.’

USCCB said in 2000 ‘Catholics’ For Choice ‘is not a Catholic organization, does not speak for the Catholic Church, and in fact promotes positions contrary to the teaching of the Church as articulated by the Holy See and the NCCB,’ and that 'its activity is directed to rejection and distortion of Catholic teaching about the respect and protection due to defenseless unborn human life.’ USSCB also said, ‘The public relations effort has ridiculed the Holy See in language reminiscent of other episodes of anti-Catholic bigotry that the Catholic Church has endured in the past.’

Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops has twice said in 2002 and 2010 that Catholics for a Free Choice: ‘1) is not Catholic and 2) does not represent the teachings or views of the Catholic Church.’ Official newspaper of the Archdiocese of Mexico in 2003 said ‘Catholics’ For Choice is 'not Catholic’

Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz legislated automatic interdict, from April 15, 1996, against Catholics in his diocese who were members of Catholics For Choice (and 11 other organisations were included). He said, that membership ‘is always perilous to the Catholic Faith and most often is totally incompatible with the Catholic Faith.’ Any Catholic who remained a member for month was automatically excommunicated

Helen M Alvaré, associate professor of law at Catholic University of America, has said CFC has ‘no grass roots base among Catholics’

Pope Benedict says the non negotiable voting principals are protection from conception to natural death, protection and promotion of marriage between 1 man and 1 woman and rights for parents to educate their children. Catholics can have differing opinions on taxes, medicare and health care so that part of the platform is up for debate. Issues of life and marriage the democrat platform and the Catholic Church go in different directions

There are over 300000 people registered on this forum, majority Catholic. This forum is a representation of Catholics in the world

Obama added nearly $5 trillion in debt which has to be paid back by taxpayers. $57000 if you count only people who pay income tax. $13000 each taxpayer has to pay for Obama incurred debt. Average household of 4 will have to pay extra $50000 in tax to pay for Obama’s debt. Obama has proposed spending $10 trillion more in the next 10 years, which could be $100000 added to the tax burden each taxpayer will have to pay

Insurance premiums have gone up already because of ObamaTax when Obama said premiums would decrease by $2500 annually by the end of his first term. Actually, average employer sponsored insurance family premium has gone up $2393

But not even everyone on this forum is Catholic, not everyone is American and not everyone on this forum agrees with you. These threads wouldn’t be this long if they did. You would say what you want, everyone would agree and the conversation would be over.

My taxes were cut under Obama, my health care premiums have gone down under Obama. Since everyone I know works, all of them got a payroll tax cut. Since I work with 62,000 people and all of them have the same health insurance, all of them got a price reduction in their health care premiums. However, that too is only a drop in the bucket when it comes to the total voting population.

Non negotiables are not up to me, that is what the Catholic Church teaches

On average costs health care costs have increased, you must not fall in the average

The “payroll tax” is for Social Security, which won’t be around if we maintain that tax cut. Are you in favor of accelerating the end of Social Security?

You must be in fairly unique situation because health premiums have increased on average

Yeah, me and 62,999 other people. Actually, it’s probably more than that because that’s only the number of employees at my location. The company is world wide and we all have the same insurance and got the same letter from our CEO about the premium reduction.

Nope, that’s why I don’t want Romney/Ryan and their “reform”. Romney’s plan will cut payments by 30% for my mother who is already receiving social security and By 40% for anyone working now. Not to mention the “voucher care” plan they are advocating for Medicare-even AARP knows that’s a bad thing.

One would certainly need to know a lot more about how this happened, since absolutely everbody else’s insurance increased a lot this year.

So, you are in favor of reversing the payroll tax cut that you just posted about, correct?
