I don't get the "bucket of fish" metaphor. Is it something about rots from the head down, or something else?

[PhiKapMom]

You are funny! Do you actually think the small number of Catholics on here compared to the number in the Country represent the Catholics as a whole in this Country? John Kerry and Ted Kennedy are still Catholic or didn't you know that?

What I see on here from you and others doesn't represent what I see at any of the parishes where I live.

Thanks! I needed that chuckle.

Tuesday, June 20, 2000 MAYOR GIULIANI AND SPEAKER VALLONE ANNOUNCE CITY LAWSUIT AGAINST GUN INDUSTRY

[darkangel82]

Agreed, although I can make no claims of being a good Catholic.

[My GOP]

I know the terms too. Its just everyones definition is different of what one is since not all Republicans and conservatives agree 100% of the time.

[Mo1]

LOL!

"John Kerry and Ted Kennedy are still Catholic or didn't you know that?"

They claim to be. So does your boy Rudy. They have a LOT in common, too.

The only thing I've seen more trained than her is a seal.

I can't believe you fell for that.

[OMalley]

im praying your wrong too:)

depends on where you consider my roots!

Ive got family in washington state (liberal hell) wyoming and iowa. theyve all heard of him.

mostly thanks to the media's attempts at making him look bad, they have actually given him exposure and the opposite effect they are seeking.

I dont know many liberals. a few in my family and a few in my area. None of them would vote for hillary. some wish gore would come out of retirement though (gack)!

i just dont think shell be their nominee.

from what im hearing they kinda like the looks of edwards. you know hes got that girly man thing going on. whatever floats thier boat i guess.

someone said they thought it was laughable that rudy wouldnt get the catholic vote.

as a catholic myself i can tell you that ALOT lean left. BUT they will come out and support a STRONG pro life candidate regardless of party.

If we run rudy, itll be toss up. i dont think wed really gain anything.

[nopardons]

Were you one of the ones, back in '99, who complained that W was anointed, as well?

[My GOP]

See post 664.

[Howlin]

How many times do we have to see all these graphics of yours on one thread?

Are you so forgetful that you actually forget you've posted the same thing over and over for the last week, or are you doing it intentionally?

And abortion is an anethma to Catholics

Ya, to about half or so of those who self identify as "Catholics," maybe a tad less, particularly if you are talking about other than late term abortions. "Catholics" don't have views on this issue that vary much from the population at large - - indeed they are slightly more inclined to some degree of "choice" on abortion, than the population at large. At least that is my recollection for the Pew polls on the issue. I might be off a bit, but only by a bit.

[palmer]

She (presuming not a he) already acknowledged the gun issue. The jury is still out. But we can't wait until after the 30k (now 22k) a plate dinners to find out that issue since those folks all live behind big walls. I think Rudy has to come out soon on that issue (and other conservative ones).

[narses]

How many times will you whine when the facts about Rudy get posted?

[Torie]

I have had a rough day. The seal thing totally escaped me. In any event, her seal act went over quite well, it seems.

[narses]

Many are called, but few are chosen.

[My GOP]

I'm a he :)

[narses]

I can sure admit to being a sinner. I try to be a good Catholic. Sometimes I am, I hope.
