Bear in mind though, many catholics are very pro-life. This reason alone will prevent many of them from voting democrat, given the democratic record on the issue.

As a southern baptist who has never heard of this Hagee, the guy seems to be a nutter, and it's political folly to align yourself with such, but I'd sooner abstain from voting than vote for Obama or Clinton.

One thing that amuses me on many levels is the Katrina being the wrath of God comment. IF it were punishment for a gay lifestyle, why was the french quarter spared, as that's where the vast majority of the gay community resides?

New Orleans hosts many gay events year round. Simply because the storm hit the same week as one of them is hardly a coincidence, there are gay functions nearly EVERY week. In fact, I think it'd be more of a coincidence if it DIDN'T hit a week there was a gay pride parade.

San Fransisco has a much larger gay community, you'd think they'd have slid into he ocean years ago if God were punishing the gays.

Lastly, it wasn't an act of nature that nearly destroyed N.O., it was a failure on the part of the federal government to allocate sufficient funding to protect an area that was (and is) known as high risk with regard to flooding. We survived the hurricane just fine, it was the massive flooding that occurred several hours later due to the failure of the man-made levee system.


On a side note, southern baptists, even in the deep south, are not mistrustful of catholics at all. Let's please try and refrain from the assumption that all southerners are pig-ignorant twits that hate everyone not exactly like them. This is simply not the case. There are nut-jobs in every group, but the vast majority of us are quite normal.
