I'm sure that she is a good-hearted person. I don't believe that she is the last word on how Catholics need to vote. I don't agree that the Romney/Ryan budget plan is "immoral".
Funny how she worries about the budget, but not about forcing abortion & birth control on people who are morally opposed to it.
It is NOT immoral to plan your spending so you can avoid debt.
8:55 pm - Rahm Emmanuel is being interviewed. When asked why donors haven't contributed to the Obama campaign, he started stuttering, and made a lame, incoherent answer.
Rahm is implying that Republicans, after the elections when Clinton was president, caved, and the legislation that passed was ALL Clinton's idea.
Huh?
Boy, is he trying to spin.
He says that Obama will have a "broad-stroke, vision" speech, that will totally change this election. Somehow, the more detailed speeches of Romney and, even more so, Ryan, are NOT visionary.
Rahm is complaining that the Republicans impeached Clinton, voted against the American involvement in Bosnia (he even admits that the vote took place when the troops were "in the air" - so, that would be NOT asking the Congress to declare war?), and "obstructed" Clinton by sending bills to be signed - but were vetoed - that were not acceptable to Clinton.
Rahm is claiming that Obama voted to implement "welfare to work" as a state senator.
I checked, and I thought Rahm was wrong.
President Obama had a convenient change of heart regarding welfare reform when it was time to run for President. In 1998, when he was an Illinois state senator, Obama said: I was not a huge supporter of the federal plan that was signed in 1996. Having said that, I do think that there is a potential political opportunity that arose out of welfare reform. And that is to desegregate the welfare population—meaning the undeserving poor, black folks in cities, from the working poor—deserving, white, rural as well as suburban.
The same year, he reiterated that “the 1996 legislation I did not entirely agree with and probably would have voted against at the federal level.”
Well, he voted against it, with an executive order this year.
