Protecting and saving the most vulnerable is not a bumper sticker to me–it is an absolute.

Protecting traditional marriage is not a bumper sticker to me–it is an absolute.

Protecting religious freedoms is not a bumber sticker to me–it is an absolute.

There is only one candidate (Romney) who wants to do all three, and will do all three if given the opportunity.

And he will destroy the lower and middle class while changing nothing about gay marriage or abortion.

Romney and Ryan will gut programs designed to help the poor. They don’t care about the poor at all. They want to make sure that the rich get theirs and maybe it will trickle down…Spoiler: it won’t trickle down.

And I find it hilarious that some Catholics are more interested in gay marriage than they are about helping the poor. THAT is shameful in my opinion. Then again Jesus spoke constantly about gay marriage and I don’t recall him ever saying anything about helping the poor.

My family and I are voting for Romney. I am also pleased to be voting for Paul Ryan. My husband is a college professor with a PhD in Tax/Accounting and he is quite worried about our nation’s incredibly huge debt and deficit. Voting for Romney will hopefully stop this train wreck. More importantly I am appalled at how anti-Catholic, anti-family and pro-abortion Obama is in his first term. I shudder to think what he will do in his second term . I don’t understand how any Catholic with even a small understanding of our current culture could possiby vote for Obama and not feel some shame.

Thank you for your comment! Needless to say, you and your husband are right on the nose about what is going on.

(I don’t know a whole lot about the practice of law, but I know this much about the above.)

Objection. Conclusion without foundation.

Objection sustained.

I find it tedious that the libs keep pounding the same tired,specious talking points re Republicans. Fact has proven,by and large those who are conservative Christians,give more personal income to charities than liberal.they also give more of their time to charities as well.

Uh, the Catholic Church is the biggest charitable institution in the world.

You need to vote Obama out. Do you really want four more years of him? I know you are definitely not better off than you were four years ago. You have all day to drink your beer.

A VOTE FOR MITT IS A VOTE AGAINST OBAMA.

I hate this “you are not better off than you were four years ago.” Well NO ONE was better off in 2008 than they were in 2000 when Bush was elected. Maybe if Al Gore was president that whole time the country wouldn’t have been in Shambles when Obama got elected.

Yet their political leaders gut programs that help the poor because “they should help themselves instead of relying on the government.”

Let’s not forget that the recession was cause by the mortgage lenders loaning out money to sub-prime borrowers. A subject addressed by Bush several times to Congress. To by shot down by Barney and his kind.

We don’t know, any more than we could predict that he would make war on Libya without congressional approval or any compelling national interest to do it. All we really know is that if he wants to unilaterally declare war for reasons all his own, he won’t shrink from doing it.

How many regiments were sent to Libya? Just grunts or the Marines, too? He has not unilaterally declared war on any country for any reason. 🤷

Evidence for this?

Keep in mind that Obama had total control of government for going on two years and did nothing at all to aid the truly poor. Actually, he harmed them. First, in the course of giving money to wealthy people who could afford new cars, he destroyed the 'clunkers" upon which the poor depend for transportation. Second, he added 17 million people to Medicaid, which is already overcrowded. Third, he shifted reimbursement funding from “chronic care” to “well care”. More of the poor have chronic conditions than others. Fourth, by destroying job creation, he deprived at least some of the poor of the only way they might have had out of poverty.

Finally, he took $700 billion out of medciare to fund Obamacare which, by his own admission, won’t cover everybody. Lots of the elderly are poor. The chief actuary for Medicare says that due to this looting, Medicare will soon pay less than Medicaid. Most providers limit the medicaid patients they will take.

But he did make it cheaper for the poor to have abortions. he did do that.

That argument is specious as well.Take the blinders off!If we don’t take action now re SS and Medicare,we will be in dismal shape in the not too distant future.Printing money with nothing to back it up will lead to hyperinflation(remember Jimma Carter?)and a myriad of problems economically. Why so many are soooo shortsighted re our domestic problems is truley baffeling:confused:

No, I support candidates that give people jobs. Under Obama, more people went on welfare than ever. The jobs market has shrunk.

I wish all religious people did this.

Yes, I bet you are wishing all religious people (I am reading: practicing Christians) didn’t vote! Our country would have been in total ruin if practicing Christians didn’t vote.

It’s not rocket science. Just read the news, and analyze for yourself where our country is headed under a man who has done everything possible to destroy our Constitutional rights and destroy the Christian faith. He blatantly lied to our church leaders when he assured them that the Catholic church would not be forced to comply with abortions and other anti-Catholic beliefs under the new health measures. READ the news, and ANALYZE for yourself as to what is really going on.
