Harry Chappas Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 12, 2016 -> 12:51 PM) He isn't ideal, but he is way better than Clinton, unlike the guy that actually won the nomination. The whole thing about the GOP is that Trump was never electable. There were 6 to 8 of those other candidates that were electable and 2 or 3 that would have won simply becasue Hillary is not well liked. The way the GOP played is rather disgraceful as republicans kind of handed the presidency to HRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 I can't find it now, but earlier the FOP endorsement of Trump was talked about. According to this survey, police support Trump over Clinton by 84 to 8%. Even Gary Johnson got 5%. http://www.policemag.com/channel/patrol/ar...ntial-poll.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Hmmm like I said in the other thread, better prepare for lawsuits, media outlets. ... this he-said she said stuff is tricky. Little surprised in this day and age the media companies will risk the lawsuit over he said/she said. http://money.cnn.com/2016/10/12/media/new-...lawsuit-threat/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of religion, Hillary would be in trouble if this were 30 years ago. I saw a video on youtube that had a priest in the church saying it was a serious sin if we vote for Hillary. She is pro choice and Trump is pro life. Interesting that they are officially saying it's a sin to vote for Hillary when the other side is pro life. Catholics today don't abide by the rules so it's no big deal, but like I said, years ago ... wow, she'd not get a single Catholic vote. She also offended all catholics in the leaked emails, but it's getting no publicity. Edited October 15, 2016 by greg775 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually agree that there's a faction of Catholics that are as fundamentally nutty religious as any other fundamentalist religions. I was just reading our local Catholic newspaper and the bishop here was blasting Tim Kaine for being pro choice. He really laid into Kaine, who went to Rockhurst High School in KC which is Jesuit. It's funny how everybody is picking the "lesser of two evils" this election and we Catholics apparently believe Trump is the lesser of two evils because of the all-important abortion issue. This is serious stuff to Catholics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is ... technically if we as Catholics vote for Clinton over Trump since one is pro abortion and the other anti, we could be denied Communion if our votes were public. Also, Kaine could be denied communion if he got in the line in which the bishop who ripped him was distributing communion. Kaine is unable to receive communion because of his public stance that is pro choice on this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 (edited) Jesus=Peace and Justice, Social Gospels, etc. How that would equate to it being a sin to vote for a Catholic is beyond me...see the election of John Kennedy in 1960. Besides the fact that the Republicans being "pro" death penalty runs just as strongly against Catholic doctrine. Sinners, tax collectors and money changers, prostitutes=99% Donald Trump and family=Top 1% If Trump has more "faith" than Obama and the Clintons, it would be extremely hard to make that case.
