America’s Catholic bishops have a problem with Vice President Joe Biden’s claim that religious institutions won’t be required to pay for insurance coverage that includes contraception, sterilization and drugs that may cause abortion.
They say it isn’t true.
"With regard to the assault on the Catholic Church, let me make it absolutely clear,” Biden said during his debate with Republican vice presidential nominee Rep.

As George Costanza famously said...”It’s not a lie, if YOU believe it!”
And the Obamaites really do believe this fiction they’ve created that the Insurance Company will eat the cost (yeah....right!) lets the Church off the hook.

60% of Catholics will still vote for Obama
Not gonna happen — in 2004 Bush won 52% of the Catholic vote, in 2008 the winner got 54%. This time the number will be less than 50%. Of course I agree that that is too high — any number greater than 0% voting for 0 is too high.
Bozo will be fortunate if he gets 40% of the "Catholic" vote. Among real Catholics (you know, the kind who actually attend a Catholic church on a regular basis) he's certainly looking at a defeat by landslide proportions.
among Church-going, I’d be disappointed if he gets more than 5% of the votes and I’d check how many names are in the funeral lists...
