Oh crap! "Voting for Obama Jeopardizes the 'Eternal Salvation of Your Own Soul'"

A helpful clergyman does his best to keep you out of perdition, but Noooo-ooooh you want to go and vote for your economic self interests instead of God's interest. Well, God'll show you a thing or two, buddy.

must see TV ==> http://videocafe.crooksandliars.com/david/catholic-bishop-voting-obama-jeopardizes-ete

Thanks for the heads up, Padre. Guess once I'm dead, I'll end up voting for the Demoncrat who pledges "There's nothing wrong with Hell that can't be fixed by what's right with Hell."

I'm only assuming Hell is a democracy because people being allowed to make their own choices clearly leads to damnation.

If people stop having more children, where will the priests get their next victims?

our history whose faith openly denies the virgin birth which some would say is rather basic to Catholicism with the whole 'Mother of God' and 'Eternal Virgin' theology, which I assume they have set aside for the sake of Mitt. This Bishop is denying his own faith and claiming others are hell destined?

At the very least he should me made to suffer the penance of having his church's tax exempt status revoked by our government for failing to heed the separation of church and state, while at the same time having his alter boy privileges suspended by the pope for extolling the virtues of a non catholic.

...because they are alienating sane republicans. Heard just this week on one of the shows...Chris Matthews, I think...they said one of the reasons Obama's poll numbers are going up is because many republicans are sick of it and don't want this country run by a "churchy" (their word) political party.

I'm sure there are many intelligent, sensible even athiest republicans who are getting embarassed over tea party and religious nutcases.

Check out and share with your republican friends:

They're on twitter too.

Republicans can get their dignity back!

I just finished my penance for my last transgression of speaking ill of republicans. Next week I'm going to vote early for President Obama so it looks like I'll have to start all over again.
