Reply #101: Obviously, you are looking for a right-wing religous candidate . . .

[defendandprotect]

Obama wants to get elected -- therefore, he is going to select someone either that he's told
to take by the elites --- or someone who he thinks will appeal to the voters ---
because the way we have things set up now, the VP automatically becomes a very viable
candidate for President in the next round ---

That's the system - that's how it works ---


When you have some time to waste on this . . . try to rephrase it ---
If you want to discuss an aspect of religion in history as it crosses the intersection of politics and power, I'll co-host a thread with you in the Religion forum at a mutually convenient time. PM me and we'll set it up. and try to make clear what the point is.

This is laughable . . .

My argument here is in support of the OP, with whom I agree on most things, and in support of Kaine, who is a Franciscan Catholic and not an Inquisitorial Catholic, a distinction you either do not understand or stubbornly refuse to acknowledge.

Who would not have known this . . . are you actually reading what I'm saying to you?

I'm quite familiar with what you're "argument" ---
I'm a Recovering Catholic ---

Now . . . try this --
Kaine's thinking is 5th Century . . .
Kaine has not been thru the Enlightenment.
Is that really what you want?
Evidently, you do!

However, more religion isn't going to improve the harm done by religion nor the harm
still being done by religion --


I'd protest heartily any choice such as Kaine ---
it would make me think much less of Obama ---
However, most of us are stuck with Dems until more of you wake up to the betrayals --
and the right-wing/corporate influence over the party ---

"Play ball in the big arena?" . . .

Yeah -- like we did when Gore took on Lieberman . . . ???
