[quote name='havok579257' post='1643953' date='Sep 1 2008, 12:48 AM']republicans and democrats don't care about the poor and needy. The poor and needy are simple another way for democrates and republicans to get elected, that's it.[/quote]
Deep down, I'm sure some of them are real people...

maybe at one time, but power croupts and ultimate power corrupts ultimatly.

i would say 99% of politicians arte like this, there are a few good ones out there.

I know. You are so right. My older brother and my father are going to vote for Obama. I have swayed my mother on the basis of the abortion issue. My brother calls himself a Catholic, but has not entered a Church in years and has not been to confession in probably thirty years. I told him to quit calling himself a Catholic.
I am going to buy a couple copies of Render Unto Ceasar and drop one at my parents. My dad needs to read it.

So if the head of the Catholic church is against the war, I don't see how any practicing Catholic can vote for Mccain when he has said he will stay in this war for a 100 years if need be.[/quote]


Hmmm, how about 50 million aborted babies? Kind of takes precedence over any other issue. The war was a stupid action, unwarranted and wasteful in lives and money. Reality check though. Murdering just because you want to, any time, any place is far worse than what is happening in Iraq.
