My parents, sisters, brothers-in-law are all pro-life, active catholics and they also will vote for Obama like they did last time.

That only changed RECENTLY. When Obama indicated he supported gay marriage, the news anchors' microphones were shoved into the mouths of some Hispanics who presumably have more kids than they can afford and still celebrate quincaneras, who then said Obama was, sadly, going to lose their vote.

This is too bad, because it's an issue that is peripheral to them, but a part of a "package" of beliefs that Hispanic Catholics of the baby-factory variety have bought into.

Working class Democrats, as I presume they are, have NO BUSINESS voting for Romney.

There we go, and I'm agreeing with you.

I said a hospital is a business, I said nothing about healthcare, try to read more carefully before commenting.

Religions and their teachings span borders. That destroys your entire theory and narrative. Also, because I am an atheist does not mean I have a pent up hatred for religion. You are trying to get out of this by playing the "call the conservative" a bigot card. Its desperation and you try and back out of this debate. Now, I am directly challenging you to show me and everyone else here where I ever said anything to back up your claim that I hate religions. Either back it up or retract your cliam.

As to your assertion on my feelings towards Islam, again, you dont know what you are talking about. Moderate Islam I have no problem with. For that matter, moderate Christianity I have no problem with. Its the radicals I have a problem with. Its a sad fact for you Lefties that its MUSLIMS that want, no, do have, their women wearing hijabs because they feel they are to be subservient to women. Its not Christians. its not Christians that are stoning women to death for being a rape victim, its Muslims.

These are facts. Not opinions. Your line about invading other countries is out of scope of this discussions, as I never even mentioned it and it doesn't directly relate.

Try again?
No, you are singling out one religion and refusing to read what I am actually saying, so I am moving on. You can talk amongst yourself about this pointless issue you have.

No, I read what you wrote, and addressed it point by point. I pointed out your hypocrisy of only criticizing one religion. You can't reply effectively. Then you tried taking the high road but I just wouldn't stop reminding you of your words. I think I proved my point.

Nah, I think all religions are pointless equally. I have no interest in going on about what I don't like in any one of them, but you seem to have a silly notion that I am signalling only one out because that fits your narrative better. Nice try, but a swing and a miss.

Why do you only single out Islam, why not Hasidic Jewish or Scientology or Mormons or any other religion, seem a bit of a hypocrite on your part.

I don't know how you can vote for Obama if you are pro-life. He is for partial birth abortion and even is vague what should happen to a baby that survives an abortion from what he said when he was a Senator.

Well they should if they want to get a job or keep the one they have.

How can you support Mitt Romney when he supports capital punishment?
