Obama vs Romney, who are you voting for and why?

[estesbob]

Still in the dark. Maybe we ought to go on to something else.

It would help if you took your tinfoil hat off…

This thread has been getting way too serious, thanks for the opportunity to make a light hearted joke.

But oh well making certain everyone uses perfect English on an internet forum is not really all that important to me in the scheme of things when I’m on my knees.

Who is “making certain”

everyone uses perfect English on an internet forum?

Is that what you think my post was about? “everyone” and “perfect?” (Hint: No.)

Do you maybe have a sense of humor? (That was a rhetorical question. You’ve just answered it, actually.)

Nor is it to me, whether you understand that or accept that. (Others do.)

Yeah, and Christine and Dave in Tampa too, as well as those too shy to pipe up.

Carlan made the accusation, it is up to her to tell us what she means by it.

Assuming that she knows, of course

They piped up. We just couldn’t hear them because they used a dog whistle.

You know what?This thread thread is not really about abortion or other intrinsic evil.
It is about Republican Politics and the final discovery of the hate filled wedge being used to spread the hate of another human being,.And that is mortally wrong.
God shed your light.
Peace, CArlan

What is it about my words, or those of anyone else, that shows you that we “republicans”, I quote that because you don’t know what party I am registered in as I have never stated that, are filled with hatred for pres. Obama and use the life issue to wedge people apart from others? I’m trying to understand your perspective and I see you are viewing what is being discussed, so come and help us understand?

I am sorry if I offended you, this was not my intent; merely discussing my opinion of the topic. I even edited a post because I thought I was uncharitable, was I? Please explain.

That’s why. Although this takes 2nd place to the (other) life issues, obviously.

I’ll give you that; I apologize for lumping you with the media.

I also agree that Romney’s statements about abortion in the cases of rape and incest are unacceptable, but you have to say that his views are a big step in the right direction.

I won’t give you the last statement though, I will most definitely vote for whichever candidate that promises to kill fewer unborn children. I guess we will have to agree to disagree here.

Many bishops have put out voter guides which state that when faced with two candidates that support the intrinsic evil of abortion (and both Obama and Romney fall under this category), we may either 1. Not vote or 2. Vote for the candidate that will “lessen” the intrinsic evil. Many bishops and cardinals hold this view (although I am still not certain if the application of “proportionate reasons” and “lessening evil” to a dilemna involving an intrinsic evil is an official teaching of the Church; I not sure that this view is held by ALL the bishops in union with the Holy Father) I certainly understand where they are coming from. Unfortunately, many Catholics (and I am not one of them) will justify voting for Obama based on the logic that his economic policies will do the most to limit the intrinsic evil of abortion overall. If the Bishops are going to inject a concept (“proportionate reasons” “lessening evil”) into the highly convoluted and corrupt American political process, the application of which appears to be highly subjective, then they should have (IMO) made a judgement as to which candidate “lessens” the intrinsic evil of abortion the most.

Oh boy…Carlan’s hearing more dog whistles… Why is it that you are you able to hear them, if they are dog whistles?

Just do what I’ve always been told to do, if you don’t know something look it up ,and for goodness sake, you all have a heck of a lot more resourses than I had when I was your age.
Peace, and love to all, Carlan

Okayyyyy…

Somebody needs to provide me with the vocabulary so I can get it.

Chicago and Golf are code words so far.

Any others?

Since you made the accusation, why don’t you tell us what you mean? Just to make sure we don’t misunderstand you.

Funny article.

I noticed that someone made the same point I brought up to Carlan:
“…the Wall Street Journal’s James Taranto put it very well: ‘The thing we adore about these dog-whistle kerfuffles is that the people who react to the whistle always assume it’s intended for somebody else,’ he wrote. ‘The whole point of the metaphor is that if you can hear the whistle, you’re the dog.’”
