I find that quite interesting, as Helen and her other lefty friends have been jumping up and down for four years about George Bush's beliefs. If they want to stop bloviating about "the Religious Right," that's fine with me. But I won't hold my breath.

[woofie]

Let's keep Helen out of the race.

Lets keep "ugly" out too

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.

"New improved title ... "Kerry has an abortion problem with the Catholic church"."

Yes, much better and to the 'truth of the matter'.

It is clear who has injected religion into the political debate and worse, 'piety' as well. Would like to know, how often Kery attends Church, when NOT campaigning and there are no cameras following him.

Every time you post a Helen Thomas picture, God kills a puppy.

"Helen Thomas is proof that God has a sense of humor........"

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!

Evidently this little troll doesn't realize the Catholic Church is not beholden to the government of the United States and can make its own rules in regards to who gets to partake and who doesn't.

Dear Helen--we did just that recently, and ended up with the bulbous, dope smoking, intern porking, terrorist pardoning, chinese money grubbing, rapist billy klinton for 8 long years.

Instead----LET'S KEEP RELIGION front and center in this next election, it provides moral clarity and defines character. Of course, since the likes of you miss the bottom slapping, cozy feeling of inclusion genuine sociopaths like billy klinton use to woo reporters (as you once pretended to be), I am certain you, yourself, do not possess the character to recognize good character when confronted with it...you only know you wish the nation didn't care about it, one way or the other.

Then let's keep politics out of religious issues.

Marriage has been a religious institution since long before the Democratic party (and their consituents) decided to make it a political issue.

Nurturing children has been a religious teaching since long before the Democrats decided to make abortion-as-birth-control a political issue.

And honor - meaning, keeping your solemn vows - is an issue of moral character that is an entirely valid topic for evaluating a candidate for office. Does Kerry honor his vows to the Roman Catholic church or not? He is free to withdraw from the church - admitting that he will not keep his vows to it - and be judged on that basis. Lying about whether he abides by his vows - any vows, including those made to a faith-based organization - is a valid concern.

Helen should be asked to leave the human race and join the swine which spawned her.

[bmwcyle]

She does scare little children.

Somebody Please take this old has been hag's keyboard away from her.........

Such activities could run afoul of the church's tax-free status that bars participation in political affairs.

She has probably never heard any tax-exempt (or taxpayer funded) liberal groups that participate in political affairs.....

So, Helen plans to be the first to protest when Kerry, Clinton, Gore and (rev) Jackson go out to appear at black churches across the country.

Good point.
