Lounge Daddy Posted August 25, 2005 Posted August 25, 2005 at this point... would you vote for her? the only thing i have is her "kinda for abortion" stance --- which has yet to be clarified so that could mean anything CONDI2008?
Socrates Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 ONLY if she were running against HIllary - but I think in that case I very well might vote for whoever the Constitution Party candidate is.

It would be a mortal sin to vote for anyone other than Rice if she were running against Clinton, assuming the situation is similar to Kerry versus Bush. You must choose the lesser of two evils who has a chance at winning. Voting off is essentially voting for Clinton. Again, it is a mortal sin to vote off. Even if the rest of your life has been good etc, your soul will be bound and cast into hell if you knowingly partake in this. You will suffer the eternal damnation of fire and other unspeakable torment.

He's said a lot of really weird stuff.

Some bishops have said that you may vote for a pro-choice candidate as long as you are not voting for them just because you support their pro-choice position.

[right][snapback]700801[/snapback][/right] [/quote] While the Church has never formally defined voting for a particular candidate as a mortal sin, what you say is not quite true either. Card. Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict XVI) said basically that one may vote for a pro-abortion candidate only if the only other viable candidate is even more anti-life. He also said that issues such as war, economic policy, and the death penalty cannot equal the issues of abortion and euthanasia in moral importance. What some individual bishops may say about this is rather irrelevant. Unfortunately, many American bishops are more influenced by party politics than the Church's moral teaching. I was talking about voting for a third candidate in a case where both major candidates would be solidly pro-abortion, so "Catholic Fanatic's" reply was rather nonsensical.
dspen2005 Posted August 27, 2005 Posted August 27, 2005 rice is a lame duck. she would have no chance of winning. this country is not ready for a black president, much a less a black woman. hate to say it, but we pretty much know that it is true. i think colin powell ruined it for black candidates for at least another 10-15 years.

zwergel88 Posted August 27, 2005 Posted August 27, 2005 to answer the original question, I would not vote for Condoleeza. she has too many connections with the oil industry. If it comes down to her and Hillary, I'm voting for nader......just kidding, I have no idea who I'd vote for.

I bet Colin Powel would win if he ran.
dspen2005 Posted August 27, 2005 Posted August 27, 2005 He bowed out of the race after news articles were published about his wife taking certain medications for depression, or something..... i think his bow into pressure, though it be of a certain malicious nature, is only evident of the weakness he would have as president when he is faced with even more malicious and ascerbic criticism.... I don't blame him for bowing out of the race. I only make the point that I propose that his caving into that pressure put other serious contenders who are black at a disadvantage.

[right][snapback]701130[/snapback][/right] [/quote] I didn't accuse you of anything. I was just clarifying what the Church actually said regarding such matters. I'm a conservative Republican, but (speaking hypothetically here) if it came down to a race between a "conservative" politician who supported abortion, and a pro-life liberal Democrat, I'd be morally obliged to vote for the Democrat. It works both ways - the life issues should trump political loyalties.

EcceNovaFacioOmni Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 I think the next election could be a bad one...
