Reply #73: More prone to vote for Kucinich

[burrowowl]

My Sisiter and I were telephoning for Kerry. One guy said Kerry is a socialist, I won't vote for him. My Sister was for once at a lost for words, given that recently we visited Leon's house in Mexico DF for my sake. I told her, tell them your Sister is socialist and Kerry doesn't come within parsecs of being a Socialist, let alone France, Germany, Sweden, etc., etc.
To paraphrae Gore Vidal: Murica has 2 right wings.
Social justice is just not in the Murican vocab. When I told a freind in France that we had privatized prisons, she just laughed at me and said I was pulling her leg. So, I gave her some info. She was askance.

As for Catholic, there is Liberation Theology and Raygun who killed Maryknoll preists and nuns along with 200,000 Guatemalean Indians.
There is the social justice, anti-capital punishment, etc. part of the Church and I know of that part who have given their lives in Lating America and nuns in prison in the Who S of A$$ for proteting the School of the Americas.
I don't like JP II, I hope we get another John XXIII, but if you go to votingcatholic.org you will find that the position of the US bishops is rather against Bu$h. And the Vatican is scared shitless Bu$hie will win, re Cardinal Rati's remarks on: if you vote only because a candidate is pro-choice not good, however in a secular society one must take into consideration a range of positions ....etc.
Like the Vatican does not think Iraq is a just war, nor that preemption or having nukes is good either.
