Dude, I’m not trying to argue any points, and admitted I didn’t really have a point, other than there are enough polls right now that people who use them are in affect showing a misplaced trust, hope, or trying to sway others. Let’s wait until November 7 and see what the real poll says.
Weren’t Pontius Pilate’s policies destructive, but necessary to God’s purpose for man?
Lawyers and therapists have a lot in common. They charge by the hour and the ideal client is wealthy, stubborn, and wrong.I came late to the party. I saw a request by ringil asking for someone to come to his defense.
I’m a conservative Republican, but I can tell you that ringil is a straight up guy, the kind of guy you share fine Scotch and a few fine hand-rolled cigars with over reasonable political discourse. Perhaps he could then be convinced of the error of his liberal ways!
I try to avoid the need for both, professionally.Thanks Dave.I came late to the party. I saw a request by ringil asking for someone to come to his defense.

This issue came up at an Opus Dei class on the subject of morality tonight. Your quote “[t]he Church teaches that no one can do evil so that good may come from it” comes directly from the Catechism (1789 on page 441). Of course, Romney should not “do evil” to be elected. However, as a Catholic, you may vote for the Governor in view of the two major candidates’ positions on the intrinsic evil of abortion. Clearly, Romney’s position, though imperfect, adheres more closely to the view of the Church.
So a candidate’s willingness to distort truth in one area, for the sake of being elected, does not take away any credibility in other areas and must be accepted as the lesser of two evils for the possibility he will do as he states?
So long as the wealthy, stubborn and wrong client pays his retainer on time, therapists and lawyers (like me) are very happy. Avoid us when you can.Lawyers and therapists have a lot in common. They charge by the hour and the ideal client is wealthy, stubborn, and wrong.
I have both in my extended family, and I love them anyway.
Fine. Sip my Scotch and I’ll smoke the extra cigar.Thanks Dave.
I must say that I will share the scotch and conversation but if I were to partake of a cigar having never done so, the consequences could be messy.
Nice to meet some friendly Conservatives around here.- fine folks who have earned my respect.
Hearing that cigars and scotch go together so well, sometimes I think I am really missing something.Fine. Sip my Scotch and I’ll smoke the extra cigar.
One of the Trite Trio on Fox and Friends really got it handed to him when he tried to turn a disaster update into a Romney moment. Good for Gov. Christie…this may be a Republican I can vote for in 2016.
Compare Romney’s credibility and abortion stance with Obama’s and decide where your vote will save more lives. If you so discredit Romney’s truthfulness that you sincerely believe he will renege on his abortion position, don’t vote for either candidate. I happen to believe Mitt is generally truthful, a good man, and fully deserving of my support as a Catholic voter.
Yes, Gov. Christie has really been a class act throughout this crisis.
‘Generally’ truthful…
Romney agreed, saying that Christie is doing his job and holds nothing against him for doing so. I’m with Mitt. Christie is acting as the Governor of NJ and rightfully so. The disaster trumps politics any day.
Mmm…my Glenlivet Nadurra and Ashton VSG are really calling my name right now…Fine. Sip my Scotch and I’ll smoke the extra cigar.
Look, I’m not begging for you to vote for Mitt Romney. Don’t vote if you aren’t comfortable with a candidate. I am. I will vote for Mitt Romney with a clear conscience.‘Generally’ truthful…
I will decide based on whether Romney decides to continue the same ad over what the auto makers say. I am most comfortable when I think of not voting for that office this election.
Never had either. But there’s always a first time.
