HUH, not sure what on earth you’re on about but to be clear, those north east Catholic elderly vote Dem, it’s the Dem which cut half a bullion out of medicare, now Obama cuts to SS and yet they still vote for him while they ignore their faith.

Again not sure what on earth you’re on about

The purpose of tax hikes is not to reduce budget deficits. Tax hikes are intended to allow increases rather than decreases in spending and to fund those fun new programs that O loves so much.

true but the north east with all of it’s Catholics should be the most conservative and it isn’t because they call themselves Catholic but vote against their faith

The U.S. government has great power over the citizen. The most pervasive and persuasive is the power to tax. It controls much of your behavior, and takes your property. I believe confiscatory tax rates are tyranny.

Then, the federal government has a standing army which is extremely power. Both directly, and indirectly has an impact in your life. Posse Comitatus has been violated many times in our history.

Soon I will be sixty. I'm educated, experienced, well traveled and a Vet. I am a law abiding citizen...

I have been in situations were I could have been killed. I have been seriously injured...

To be honest with everyone, my government scares me.

Your post didn’t make any sense.

Manc merely pointed out that members of the Catholic church are majority democrat voters, since Protestants can’t make up for both the Catholic and the atheist voters, of course republicans generally lose.

my social security is not an entitlement, it is earned just like unemployment pay (when not abused for 99 weeks) because it was taken from my income without my consent. if i had a choice i would have NEVER opted for social security. cut welfare, entitlements, food stamps and other parasitic payments.

I stopped at DU after I read this today. If you want a really good laugh, go take a look at their page. The whole dam kit & caboodle is going over the edge. Lots of disparaging remarks concerning the Mark of 0 on this one and the poor Dummies lives.

“my social security is not an entitlement, it is earned just like unemployment pay”

Not true. Your SS is an entitlement because the money being provided to today’s recipient is being taken out of working people’s income.

“because it was taken from my income”

True. You did have SS funds stolen from you to give to others throughout your working career. The problem is that those at that time felt an entitlement to make a claim to your income. Now you feel entitled to make a claim to other people’s income.

It is a broken system and if any private investor did the same thing that our government is doing, then they would name them Madoff or Ponzi....

The entire SS system is evil and heartbreaking.

Maybe the Republicans should bring Catholics into the coalition.

Another post that doesn’t make sense, you think the democrats are the only party that tries to win Catholic support?

The republicans try, but they cannot change their platform and drop life and marriage to do it, no one is excluding Catholics out of any “coalition”, it is the opposite, republicans for generations have been trying to figure out a way to get Catholics to switch parties.

Which is why so many republicans are dropping life and marriage. Folks like Portman et al.

I see.

I guess the Republican party figures that it’s future is to court liberal protestants rather than Catholic conservatives.

At least you’ll have a home!

Only fools, idiots, and progressives are buying your act any more.

But unfortunately they're in the majority.

Man that doesn’t make any sense.

You defend Catholic voting for Obama, because the democrat party and it’s pro-abortion and pro-homosexual agenda is better than the pro-life, pro-marriage platform of the GOP?

The republican party always wins the Protestant vote and has elements within it that think they must move left to win the Catholic vote, your devotion to and defense of the democrat vote is just amazing.

Oh, so you believed Romney when he said he was prolife and supported traditional marraige?

EXACTLY.

The north east is mostly made up of Catholic voters, they call themselves that and yet they vote Dem.

If these people in NJ, NY, PA, NH, MA, RI, etc all voted with their so called faith and preached what they call themselves then we would not have had the radical lunatic or many Dems in congress and we certainly would not have had the homosexual lobby going state to state pushing their agenda.

You think that Obama won the Catholic vote in 2008 because of Mitt Romney?
