Major Crash!
Sorry. But Catholic for Democracy has experienced a major crash. We lost all our content and user information.
But, we are set to start anew. I am working aggressively to restore the appearance and full functionality of the site as quicly as possible. With much prayer, and regular backups, this will not happen again.
If you have participated in Catholics for Democracy before, feel free to recreate your account. You are always welcome back. If you have not participated before, feel free to join. We welcome everyone here, especially Catholics interested in or engaged in the political process.
Kucinich For President
In looking at the position statements on Dennis Kucinich's Website, except for abortion, I find his other position statements on war, peace, immigration, housing, poverty, trade, industrial development and environmental policy consistent with Catholic Social Teachings. What do you any of the other readers and writers on this blog think of his views?
I Like Dennis
I like Dennis, a lot, and was disappointed -- no, angered -- that MSNBC opted to disinvite him from last night's Nevada debate.
You're right. Dennis' positions are very much aligned with Catholic Social Doctrine, as they were when he ran in '04. What a change it would be to have someone like that in the White House!
Sadly, it's not going to happen. Dennis, as passionately honest as he is, would get trounced in a general race. There's still a strong segment of the American population who buy into conservative partisan ideology without giving thought to the impact of that ideology on American society. They wouldn't go for a Dennis Kucinich.
Personally, I'm going for John Edwards. He's Dennis-light, but he's the closest to Dennis the Dems have to offer who could actually win a general election.
