Shostie: I'm Catholic. I will very likely vote for Obama unless it turns out that he's a Reptloid.

And even then, might end up as a coin flip.

It would make for a much more interesting election.

"TUESDAY, TUESDAY, TUESDAY! Come see RomneyBot 3000 battle Reptobama in a smack down royale for the soul of the country! He's got circuits and a capacity to dispatch his challengers with cold, emotionless precision. He's got an impenetrable armor of scales capable of deflecting the most ridiculous and withering assault, and a forked tongue that will charm you as it indoctrinates you with his liberal ideals."

EWreckedSean: Actually it will. Catholicism especially involves the following of sacraments, which require church infrastructure outside of praying alone in your room.

Then the priest can get off of his fat, lazy, kiddie-diddling ass and go to your house to help you with your symbolic cannibalism.

barneyfifesbullet: Obama has is going to lose Florida anyway.

He can thank Al Sharpton and the Black Panthers.

True, that probably hurt his FL numbers.

Obama doing well in Florida

Barack Obama starts the general election with a 5 point advantage over Mitt Romney in Florida, 50-45. This is the biggest lead Obama's had in Florida over the course of five polls PPP's done in the state since the beginning of 2011.

Or not.

EWreckedSean: I'll say it slowly.

If you are saying things slowly in a text based internet forum, it's probably because of a combination of stroke symptoms and a fundamental misconception regarding technology. Helmets save lives.

Ohio--only 21% Catholic, won by Obama in 2008
Colorado--only 19% Catholic, won by Obama in 2008
Iowa--23% Catholic, won by Obama in 2008

Any other deeply burning concerns you would like to voice?

EWreckedSean: Please quote the part of said amendment you refer to that says what you think it says.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;"


Bwahahahahahahaaaaa! So, because the gov't can't establish a religion, and persons can worship anyone they choose, that makes it illegal to tax a church business. Tard.

TRUE Christians don't believe in that "health care for all" nonsense. Just like Jesus said, stop being a lazy welfare leech and get a job!

Animatronik: Urbn: Animatronik: Urbn: RandomExcess: Liberals fail to realize that women in the US care about the economy and health care and are not as concerned with contraception and funded childcare.

Yes, keep going with this. It's a winner. The GOP should totally keep pushing anti-women's health and reproductive rights legislation all across the country while touting their ZERO accomplishments and almost complete avoidance of dealing with the country's economy over the last few years.

I dont think "free birth control for all" is gonna win it for Barry O this round. Too much circus and not enough bread.

I also notice you didn't touch on the lack of accomplishments for the GOP on the economy front so I'm glad to see we're in agreement there. ;)

Also, limiting access to birth control is far from the only GOP attack against women's healthcare/reproductive rights over the last 2 years.

This isnt about access and you know it.

Its about King Obamas Edict That All Shall Pay for Womens Hormonal Birth Control and Next Day Abortions.

So it is written and so it shall be done.


/ I doubt we agree on anything; not evn th imprtance of vwels.

Keep going with this. It's good. It's sure to win the hearts and minds of swing voters, independents (the real ones, not the Fark ones), and even liberals this November!

EWreckedSean: 1st amendment, and yes. As soon as you start taxing churches, you've violated the free exercise clause.

You CANNOT be serious. Dare I ask how you reached that conclusion? Or do you have the same GED in Law as our resident legal expert clown?

I alone am best: qorkfiend: EWreckedSean: MaudlinMutantMollusk: Diogenes: In late January, priests in scores of churches across the country read letters from the pulpit urging congregants to contact members of Congress to oppose the new rule.

Larry Cirignano, a Catholic activist, said evangelical groups such as the Christian Coalition had sent out direct mail to raise money to push back against the Obama administration.

And speaking of encroachment.

When do these political organizations lose their tax exempt status?

As soon as the free amendment is over turned.

Which amendment is tax exemption guaranteed under?

The first. It was common law long before churches had to be 501c3 orginizations which only happened in the mid 50's.

Please quote the part of said amendment you refer to that says what you think it says.

If you were really concerned about contraception as a health care issue you'd be pushing for free condoms, because that's the only part of this discussion that relates to health.

You're not really interested un health care in this issue and neither is Sebelius. Its just politics in the Democratic Party in an election year.

You're right, the Democratic Party was completely unprepared to fight a battle they won in the 1960s.

Urbn: He's not going to lose Colorado. I know we have some anti-tax crusaders and the religious nutters around the Springs, but they are not a majority in this state (not that we're majority libby-lib either, mind you). Most people here are sick of the social conservatives - we're a practical people who don't have a lot of patience for this much shenanigans and nosing into everyone's personal business. Witness the slaughter at the polls the last few times they've introduced Personhood as a ballot initiative, for example.

You're right. As a native Coloradan, I would be perfectly happy if Colorado Springs and Grand Junction would just secede and form their own little Jesusland enclaves.
