This isn't 2007, Dems have allowed Clinton to virtually secure the nomination without a single primary voter touching a ballot. How many super delegates does Bernie have on his side right now?

You know the 1% has design on making all of us peasants and they have the government and both parties helping them do it. Obama is answering to them as have the last few Presidents. I'd say the Pope is too, now.

I dont think the left can make up their mind. Catholics....anti gay, anti abortion..

They are RICH and according to the left, the catholics (christians) are brainwashed people who believe in GOD, no evolution and are busy giving their money to a religion and not the government.

Yet here comes the Pope the leader and religious guide to the church and suddenly all is forgiven if you TALK about climate change and are a socialist type thinker in economics. Sure why not money is given to the church of free will and they give it out to the poor and making sure rich priests are protected from child molesting. There will always be poor, it just depends on which government KEEPS you that way and or DECIDES which ones it wants to keep poor. Or says which ones are to rich and we will bring about JUSTICE to make you less rich in the eyes of government. Government is FORCE. When you use force to get what you want by taking from others to give to others via government that is CALLED STEALING. SEE bible "thou shalt not steal."

I revert back to something the left LOVES to invoke when it chooses..

Bill of Rights 1. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Do us all a favor, if you want religion and force running your life even if you think you will bring about LEFTIST ideas REMEMBER in the end you are not interested in LIBERTY. You just want TYRANNY of your choosing.

This is why I am voting for John Kasich, he is a man with sound conservative principles, but has consistently acknowledged that our system still leaves people behind and that they need to be helped.
What does Mark 14:7 have to do with anything? What Jesus was saying was that you will never eliminate the poor. So you are trying to contradict Jesus?

I like John Kasich up to a point, but realize he is pro-Common Core, and he did take the money for ObamaCare. Very disappointing.

As for the pope: Where are all the "saparationists"? I thought the church was not supposed to be meddling in politics?

This is so true. I wish a moderate like Kasich could make it out of the primary run by radicals. I'm not hopeful so we'll have to endure another moderate Democrat to uphold this reality, and deal with all their union / no school choice / regulation over innovation b.s.

Republicans don't seem to realize how many people they're losing by fixating on oppressive social positions and radical free market ideology.

No pro-immigration candidate will win the Republican nomination.

Unlike the other alternative, communism, which leaves everyone poor except the tiny controlling elite.

And you do have faith in the Dems to pick the right candidate?

Kasich has a 92 rating from the American Conservative Union. Far from moderate

However, the Democrats need to brake the voodoo hold that Hillary has on them so they can pick a better candidate.
Well I would not vote for Biden over Huck, but I would vote for him over Donald I think. I at least believe he is honest and tells the truth, though his ideas are wrong and I am not in love with the thought of someone his age being President. I think it is safe to say, we don't have to worry about Huckabee, he may even be out before long. I too like Kasich but he may be a little too middle of the road. Remember we have chosen the middle of the roaders twice in the past 2 elections and look what has happened. 2008 no one was going to beat Obama, but sitting President or not, he could have been beat in 2012.
