Protestant catholic baptist Mormon shmorman, who cares?  C'mon, this is all petty stuff.  Can we forget something as seminal as Obama's preacher?  The racist hate-monger with whom he sat for TWENTY FIVE years!!  This is more than enough for me!

We're discussing what the Ryan pick will do to Romney's chances in the election, not to our own personal votes. I couldn't care less what religion any of them are.

Understood, wanted to remind e/o.  From what I see, Ppl tend to forget this very important point.

You lost me on this one. What down side does a Catholic have?
I heard that he might take a hit in the bible belt because he is Mormon. So it would for sure help him if he ran with a Protestant...

Romney's problems are not in the Bible Belt (he will win the Bible Belt handily), they are, if anything, in the Mid-West, Florida, CO, and NV.

lol you mean swing states the Ines that decide every election? Doesn't mean he shouldn't worry about other states. And I said in my post originally I don't think he will have a problem winning those states.

They should switch the ticket: Ryan/Romney.

Paul Ryan would make a great president.
Part of the vast right wing conspiracy.

If Ryan was the Presidential nominee, I doubt he's choose Romney as his running mate.

Wow! So there was a hock in the media about the fact that the Dems left the language about Israel out of their current platform (it was i there in 2008 but they took it out now.)

Today, they held a vote to decide whether to put it back into the party platform (afraid of a backlash).

Although it sounded pretty even (what's up with those haters screaming NO!!), the Dems seemed intent on adding it back because they're already getting a lot of negative publicity for leaving it out!

They seem to be Arabs (see their sign) and while there may be Arabs out there who don't hate Israel (doubtful), these seem to be vehemently anti-Israel so I'd imagine they hate Jews and Israel.

It was more than just Arabs voting no. Also no way was there a 2/3 yes vote.

Pretty much.
Ooch!

When I wrote:  (what's up with those haters screaming NO!!) I was referring to the guys who the video zoomed in on.....

That's why this is such an embarrassment! The Dem leadership realized they messed up and didn't want this to continue to be a talking point in the media so they rammed it back into the platform even though they didn't have the consent of the delegates!
