Who will you be supporting in the U.S. presidential election with our Catholic values in mind?

I think I have answered this thread once, maybe twice already.

But it always overjoys me to write that I will be once again voting for President Donald J. Trump. Keep America Great!
 
What’s to know? You characterize the CT editorial as bullying with absolutely no justification, so I don’t need any justification for characterizing the letters objecting to the editorial as bullying. Since no justification is required, there is no reason to read them.

I’ve justified it earlier. You are free not to agree, but I’m not wasting my time repeating myself for you.
 
There is no real bullying and I understand that Evangelicals are solidly pro Trump. I am just surprised, vonsidering his life, no one questions his moral fitness.

In my case I prioritize policies that I believe a candidate will promote over their character.

If we have two candidates with the same policies that I consider equally likely to implement them and genuinely believe them and they are my top candidates I would consider character then.

Then you’ve excluded 98% of all politicians. From the local to the national level, we have serious moral issues within leadership. Unfortunately, this is nothing new.

Evangelicals of a conservative type (there are liberal ones too) are pretty big into forgiveness and conversion, and don’t question its genuineness too much.
 
Maybe people just don’t want to exist is a name-calling mix of reality TV and professional wrestling for 4 more years.
Trump obviously knew reality TV and little known is he is in the WWF HALL OF FAME. Even for his crowds that like wrestling insults and banter, you can turn that off after an hour.
For Catholics, too much is compromised that we value in exchange for transactions.
What we don’t see, and what is not reported, is the deregulation assault on regulation designed to protect our land and resources. Our health! On fair dealing. You burn those things out and pay for them eventually.

Why does the choice begin with the need to forgive. When you vote for it, you are forgiving yourself. Like sin then hit the confessional
 
I don’t really understand what you’re saying. Are you saying if you vote for an abortionist, you are forgiving yourself for being complicit in abortion itself?
 
What abortionist? Someone performs abortions among the candidates? I don’t understand your question

Possibly you could point out some of those because most folks really don’t follow all the regulations.

I, for one, am glad Trump modified WOTUS reg, which required the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to approve, e.g., every improvement to every farm pond in the country, or removal of trash from a creek bank or putting rocks in a dry wash to curb erosion. The Corps itself (and yes, I talked to them) acknowledged it had nowhere near the personnel to do that, but would have to develop an environmental plan for every single instance.

Some things needed to go away.
 
Funny you mention that. I had a case that eventually came down to regulations involving a bet on one of those ponds. An elderly couple ( I represented the husband) driving had their car hit and they went into the lake. The testimony underwater with the seat belted wife clawing at the husband trying to get out( she drowned ) was caused by failure to adhere to the regulation. There are thousands of consequences people never see. I have been in a position to see them for decades. Somebody saved a few bucks. Someone else paid the bill with their dearest blood.
That is the horrible truth often. The Chinese dry wall crisis ended up uncovered by insurance. Some developer saved a few bucks. Maybe a bigger boat was the prize. People’s lifelong investments went down the drain. Someone always pays the bills.
 
It would be nearly impossible to inadvertently drive into most farm ponds. But WOTUS regs didn’t require guard rails or anything anyway. Your elderly couple would have drowned just as surely with the WOTUS regs as they were before Trump as they would now.
