I wouldn’t hold up Palidino as a role model for Catholics considering he’s an adulterer. As for his stand on abortion, I guess he finds it preferable to father a bastard then? So far all he’s done is proven he can speak with a forked tongue. Save NY? Not so much.
And lest you forget, legion- gays in this country are part of the populace. They vote, they pay taxes, they are part of the economic engines in the fashion and design industries as well as a whole lot else. As governor, Palidino would have to represent everyone- like it or not, and irregardless of his own religious leanings. If he can’t do that, he is unfit to hold office. Keep religion out of politics. Period.
By the way, people need to back off of the insults to Babs. I’m sure coming from you, the king of knee-jerk boilerplate Republicanism, she finds your analysis of her liberal posts to be most amusing.
“He tells me there is such a thing as the “black guy nod” where black guys in white areas nod at each other as if to say “hey, we’re black,” even when they totally don’t know each other. Is this true?”
Yes, it’s true. It’s as much an unspoken but patently understood attitude of “Hey, we gotta stick together here ’cause there are only like 12 of us in this whole damn town” as anything.
give us 25B of that 50B so we can build the NJ-NY tunnel, that Man to JFK airport tunnel, extend further the 2nd ave tunnel
Legion, Obama is proposing a $50B infrastructure bill as more than half of the stimulus money sits unspent.
one of my grandmother’s sisters worked at white castle and she always reeked of white castle, even if she hadnt been in one for days, it was very odd.
*rob*
No joke, M4L! My cats have some degree of civility but MM has to lock herself in the bathroom to eat chicken! Of course I have to lock my door when cooking dinner as the landlord will come a-knockin’ 😉
NEWSFLASH:
65 year old Italian Catholic takes a stand against gays.
OMG this is groundbreaking!
I’ve just never heard of such a thing.
But seriously, let’s put this in perspective because
I see that the lib side of the OT has been running wild with this story all day.
What is balls-challenged Cuomo’s stance on Abortion?
He is also a Catholic no? Am I wrong?
Perhaps he’s one of those Nancy Pelosi type “Catholics” the ones who simply lie to themselves until the Pope himself has to call them out on it.
Let’s assume Cuomo is pro-choice, under any circumstance since he did get the NARAL endorsement.
Shall all the people who have seen a 3-D sonogram of a human moving in the womb at 7 months start shouting for Cuomo’s head on a platter as a “murderer of the unborn”.
They might, if he had the cajones to state his actual views. Apparently he doesn’t.
Paladino has a worldview, it is his world view,
we will be voting on it, but more importantly on issues like:
spending
taxation
education
crime
healthcare
immigration
pollution
jobs
transportation
public authorities
public universities
unions
property development
housing
infrastructure
safety
the list goes on.
Many want to be one issue voters.
so be it, I just don’t think that
Paladino will start tearing up civil rights
when he’s got a state veering into bankruptcy.
Look at Chris Christie, he’s still tackling
the economy, does he have time for religious
issues?
oh, ang babs gets the award for most SHRILL
of the liberals today.
reading her posts is like reading the OT circa 2008,
before our arguments developed some nuance. 😉
what?!! not food?!!! no onion rings for you Donatella
ditto- last week I posted that I really like The Dead, John Huston’s adaptation of the James Joyce short story. A bunch of PLUSAs agreed.
