1. Guy continues to be a practicing Catholic who regularly attends a church, which has a racially mixed congregation. People there know him, pastor spoke about knowing him well; he has been a regular (obviously not so much when he's not in town as much now). Married his wife there. All three of his kids baptized there.

2. He is personally pro-life and against the death penalty, but he doesn't favor government intruding there - similarly to how religious conservatives don't favor the government intruding in the proliferation of guns.

3. His educational background included Jesuit schools, and he did a year of missionary work in Honduras.


Not saying he's a perfect guy, but.. signs indicate that his faith is a real part of his life.


And yet Trump, a guy who is about as un-religions as they come, who has spent his whole career enriching himself and ripping others off through things like his dubious "university", who incessantly insults and trash talks everyone around him, is the choice of the "religious right."

Conservatives, please tell us again how Tim Kaine doesn't count as a man of faith and how only conservatives are allowed to lay claim to that title.

he's a bought and paid for boob, faith or not. he's a 'typical' smooth talking politican, he will tell you what you want to hear and pull the wool over your eyes, that's easy to do if you're gullible.

Tim Kaine isn't running for president. I don't know how you missed that. Crooked Hillary is and disqualified herself with her scandals and criminal behavior.

ambient knows this, but is being stubborn in accepting it.

No actually she hasn't disqualified herself; only in your minds and that doesn't count for much does it (you get one vote just like we do). The simple fact is she is running with Tim Kaine as her VP choice and it is optimal pick for her. He's never lost an election and this one will maintain the consistency.

The voters in Virginia (you do know that's a swing state btw?), obviously have supported him. They like his politics and the things he stands for. And while the rabid right believe spouting "career politician" as if it's a bad thing, the real test is how he has been received by the voters. In this case, it's painful for those of you wanting to hang Hillary, but Tim will be all good/all the time.

I see his religion and his beliefs as a stabilizing factor that will only enhance the ticket. I suspect some of the right will try and remind us how JFK was hurt by being a catholic (said with grin).

And you think Trump is not?

Haha... don't tell me, you still believe in that "I'll self-fund my campaign" lie. Donald is accepting special interests super-PAC money as we speak.

Hey, you know who was doing all of that buying all of those politicians for years and years and years? Yep, the Great Orange Con Man himself.

But that's okay, right? As long as he's doing the bribing and not the one being bribed, it's all good with you, right?

Rarely before have I ever seen quite the level of hypocrisy that we are witnessing from the cult in this election season.

She can win if she can find a way to cheat, and if there is a way to cheat, she'll find it!

With Hillary's failing health, if elected, Tim Kaine would be stepping up as VP. Being pro-life, based on his faith, he would be nominating pro-life SC judges or so his conscience should dictate. It would be very difficult for someone of his age to nominate someone that was pro-abortion. So, looks like the Democratic Party is getting ready to be a "new" party also.

I don't know, anyone that can run on a ticket and stand next to Clinton...............

He seems like a good man and many Republicans have had good things to say about him.
