Why do you think my fellow Catholics consistently vote Democrat? I have my reasons but I'm just curious as to your opinion on this, you seem pretty up to date with this stuff. I think some of it may be the large Catholic enclaves in the traditionally Democrat Northeast & New England states in places like Boston and NYC.
I'm in the majority as a dago Catholic in N.O. and as a youth I took this for granted. It wasn't until I moved slightly more north in the state and looked at maps online did I realize that Catholics are a rarity in the South outside of certain cities spread about the map. Particularly cities that had a lot of French, German, and Italian immigrants coming to them.
I kind of agree with that. Am I the only one who is completely embarrassed by both parties candidates at this point? I was kind of a Trump guy in the beginning, I liked what most people liked initially, that he was an "outsider" politically. He's run before but never with any degree of seriousness and I believe he was on the reform party ticket back then before Pat Buchanan messed everything up with that bunch. That, and the fact that anyone at the time who was going up against Hillary looked pretty good to me then, I just really can't stand that woman.
If old Bill was running I would vote for him in a heartbeat, I liked him. But Hillary rubs me the wrong way in just about everything she does. What pushed me over the edge happened years ago when she gave that speech in front of that black church congregation somewhere down South, and all of a sudden when she walked in the church and started speaking, she somehow channeled the spirit of a really bad actress trying to do a stereotypical black Southern accent (the one that doesn't exist outside of bad movies).
This was just so embarrassing, condescending, and pretentious that I just can't take her serious ever again. I know it may seem shallow of me, I have other reasons for disliking her of course, but this singular event really shows what kind of person she is, to me at least. You expect politicians to pander to their constituency and kiss a little ass, but she went 100% nuts when she did that IMO.
Lmfao!!!!
