Except for the fact that Rasmussen has the race even since then. The rest is manufactured.

The nun who runs the RCIA at the Parish I grew up at hands out Obama literature during classes. You have no idea how the concept of Social Justice infiltrated Catholicism. Heck, the Pastor is a supporter of Obama, St. Mary Magdalen Church, Maitland FL in case you want to investigate.

I think I’d have to find a new church !!!
Of course the nuns in my school were all big Kennedy supporters, probably still would be even knowing of his adultry, womanizing, immoral antisocial behavior... and litte brother’s rape enabling, debauchery and murderous behavior... Go figure.

the Catholic church has been actively preaching against obama and his policies. from the pulpit since the summer- i’ve never seen anything like it...

As a lifeling Catholic I have never seen a priest or anyone in the hierarchy making recomendations on anything in an election, until this year. Culturally, priests are not allowed to run for office, and are not encouraged to be political. But this time, it is different.

Liberal Catholics have lost their cover, they can't hide. They used to be able to split hairs like Kennedy, but that can't be done anymore. We have a ways to go as far as organizing and being more effective like the Tea Party, but the democrats have lost us. 2008 was the highest level of support they will get from us from now on, and it is down hill from there.

I know I’m out of line. Only God can judge the souls of men, but isn’t it frustrating when people leave their faith behind and vote for a party that voted God out of their platform, Is for preborn murder, and approves the destruction of biblical marriage? Can you really call yourself a Christian and vote for this party that is out to destroy any vestige of orthodox Christian thought? We will all be judged by what we did with the Word of God. “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of an angry God”

C’mon. Does this really come as a surprise to anyone?

Really?

In other news, Jews will increase their support for Obama as we get closer to the election.

I’m Nostradamus, and I’ll be playing here all week, folks.

I would love to see O’s support among the following:

* all Catholics (box checkers)
* Catholics who attend mass at least monthly
* Catholics who attend mass at least weekly
* Catholics who attend mass at least weekly & confession at least monthly
* Catholics who attend mass more than weekly
* Catholics who attend the Traditional Latin Mass

I don’t know whats happening, anymore. It’s like the Twilight Zone. The worse the economy gets, the better obama does. He blatantly lies about a terrorist attack, and his poll numbers get better. He allows a terrorist attack, and he does better. The worse foreign affairs become, the better he does. He denies God, wants to force Catholics to provide birth control pills and abortions, the better he does with Catholics.

The only explanation I can think of is the media. They are determined to drag obama over the finish line ahead of Romney no matter what. And the vast majority of people still get their news from the lying, biased, media.

Romney is going to have to hit a bases loaded home run in the debate next week. And that will be very hard considering the moderators are far left wingers, and they will provide obama with all the questions beforehand so he will have all the answers well prepared.

So Obama adding a pro gay marriage, pro taxpayer funded abortion on demand up to birth planks to the Democrat platform and denying God 3 times helped Obama with Catholic voters?

Anyone really believe that?

We are seeing why Gallup was number 18 in polling accuracy in 2008


Just a week ago we were praising Gallup. What gives?

Axelrod and Holder are turning the screws tight on Gallup.

Before Election Day Gallup will have Obama leading Romney among non-union white evangelical pro-life male combat veterans who support concealed carry and limited government.

On that note, it’s probably well past time for me to stop considering myself an American, and instead, a dissident.

I think "recusant" is more apt, given what faithful Catholics may be facing here in Obamaland.

Wow, just wow.

I don’t go to a Novus Ordo parish any more, but if I did and I was at a church function I think I would have to call her by name - Satan.

The time for meek politeness is over. Time to call the enemy by name.

I think it’s time we admitted that the “47%” video has really hurt Romney. Denying it just prevents us from combatting it.


Hurt him a LOT more than we thought. Despite the news coming out that obama lied about the terrorist attack in Libya, the morning news shows were talking about Romney’s 47% remark. The majority of people in this country won’t even know he lied about it, thanks to the media.

I go to mass every day and I have never seen the anger at Barry like I am seeing now. 4 yrs ago I use to see obama bumper stickers in the parking lot(sick) not anymore.
Even 80 yr old ladies are sporting impeach obama stickers
