Fiorina says that the Republican system is rigged. If the whole American system is rigged, then I guess that America is not the great democratic republic it claims to be.
Probably not, and that sounds good to a lot of people and if posted on a place like Y! or youtube, it’d probably get hundreds and hundres thumbs up…

that is, until things like so-called gay"marriage", farm subsidies and football stadium financing or a private grievance of things past get put on the table.

Then it’s a whole new ballgame, one where a lot of Americans seem willing to give up their freedom.
 
This is why I very well might write in my own name on my ballot. And I’m not being facetious. I refuse to vote for HRC and cannot fathom, under any circumstances, voting for Trump.
Well, the pro-choice powers that be will take that every single time. And I have yet to see a write-in or a Virgil Goode voter come back on here or elsewhere and say their private, exact principles were worth it.
 
What did the good Father say about voting for HRC or Bernie?🙂
I don’t see how anyone regardless of standing or qualification can be taken seriously about commenting a voting for a third-party candidate without examining the ill side-effects of it, including the most likely (as in basically 100%) of the election of not only a pro-choice candidate, but one will appoint a justice that will undo cases like Hobby Lobby.

Sometimes, I suspect this is just a selfish move so that said person/group can look good in front of their secular liberal friends for not voting GOP but technically still vote pro-life. So in other words, thinking they can have their cake and eat it too.

The Catholic Voter’s Guide makes the option very clear about voting for someone who we know will lose and will just help someone worse win.

Ditto this!
 
So her tweet basically showed that she didn’t believe the catholic church was started by Jesus. That, unfortunately, is probably a common understanding among protestants.
I know a lot of Protestants, and most of them believe Jesus founded the Catholic Church. They know Catholicism was Christianity itself until the Reformation in the 16th century. They know a lot about their own denominations and know who started them.

I think this mistake was Katrina’s, and she should apologize. She doesn’t strike me as knowing much about church history, though.

When has a write-in candidate won? But I’m not going to say you aren’t free to vote for whoever you want. You are.

Depends, I don’t even know if she’s christian, but some fundamentalists believe that the catholic church was just one of many denominations. Nazarene come to mind and many are critical of the church. Mainline perhaps depending what one means by church. The teaching authority speaking for Jesus Christ infallibly? Yeah, the list dwindles as we go along. That said she probably was confused anti Catholic and like many will be informed at death, she missed the mark on the Catholic Church or will come to realize it through atonement and sincere contrition. No idea, myself I would suggest sincere contrition-perfect and asap. But hey, what do I know. 🤷 She should repent your right though Lily. I agree. 🙂 Lord if I ever say anything stupid about your Church please know I am heart felt sorry and dear Lord forgive me for being ever so ignorant, and please bring me to everlasting life with you, God don’t leave me here with these crazy people. Amen.

This is a weird, crazy election year in which it appears that both likely nominees will be manifestly unfit to serve as president for various reasons.

I frankly wouldn’t trust Trump to nominate a supreme court justice who would be inclined toward the pro-life cause, any more than I would Hillary (or Bernie.) I feel that those conservatives who have flocked to him have blinders on. As I think Trump is a dangerous megalomaniac fostering crazy nationalist, authoritarian sentiments, I doubt that I could - after careful consideration and with an informed conscience - vote for either of them.
 
National Enquirer and the other tabloids have him on the cover this week, so, people can check that out if they go into the grocers. This week, it’s not gossipy on him, so who knows what could ever be in the future. Or maybe people would rather not look at those kinds of newspapers, that is their right too.

He is an American version of Putin. It is a shame so many Republicans want that.
 
See Donald, Donald is great, Donald will make America great again too, go Donald.

:rotfl:
 
Although this happened last week, I haven’t seen it mentioned on CAF (bolding mine).
A group of conservative Catholics is appealing to their fellow believers in a last-ditch effort to stop Donald Trump from becoming the GOP presidential nominee, writing in an essay published by the National Review that the frontrunner is “manifestly unfit to be president of the United States.”
Hi rmartensjr. It wasn’t *completely *ignored on this forum. I think FollowChrist first brought it to our attention, then a few of us talked about it. But it definitely received a very, very small fraction of the attention that e.g. Phyllis Schlafly’s words about Trump received.

On a side note, I have seen a response to that letter on townhall.com, which basically says that George and Weigle should have attacked the other Republican candidates. (I asked myself whether that was better or worse than just ignoring the letter, but then I decided to devote my bra(name removed by moderator)ower to other questions instead of that one. :o)

Indeed, but what people need to understand is third-parties and write-ins are sometimes played, often against their own values.

In Illinois, for instance, the Chicago/Springfield machine makes sure the Green Party has the hardest time getting on the ballot but will jump through hoops to make sure the Libertarians are on it.

Well, a republican would be much more answerable to the pro-life GOP and one pro-life democrat (Manchin) in the Senate than a liberal democrat.
 
I wouldn’t have wanted George S Patton in charge of our troops. He was too rude and mean spirited. I would have preferred a general who was warm and polite with a unifying presence who could bring us all togather.

Do you really think for a minute that Donald Trump would hold himself answerable to anyone? Nope. He answers to the Donald.
