I'm NOT catholic, but the put downs of the pope are old and reflects nothing but projected or disassociated religious hatred. Imagine speaking like that about the jews? Hate is hate.

Christy won the election. Deal with it. Like being a pro lifer is a bad thing. Moderator?

The only reason CC is doing this well the week before the election is that he would allow abortion for rape or incest, and that his running mate is pro-choice. If Lonegan had won the primary he would finish third behind Daggett.

The USA exists because the Founders cast away the Old World system of priests who ran nations by being able to send disobedient monarchs to hell through excommunication. He has not acclimated himself to be a US citizen. He boasts he's a servile subject of that foreign king, the pope. He has 4 children. He can say they're planned & wanted but his wife could be excommunicated if she aborts. Because she's a papal subject, it's to be expected she'll endorse her husband's views. She may have a huge family, depending on how many conceptions her body can endure. But there are reasons why some women can never safely be mothers. They include diseases of bones, kidneys, hearts, livers, etc. See Osteopathy, phrenology, cardiology, etc. Some women are too old or young-with skeletons too immature or aged to be strong enough to carry weight of fetus & heavy amniotic fluid. If he succeeds & women die from illegal abortions, he should be held PERSONALLY GUILTY of their deaths as murder. I hope voters have enough self-respect not to let this Medieval man fasten his crucifix around the brains of fertile women.

The USA exists because the Founders cast away forever the Old World system. There, priests told monarchs what to do. They obeyed because excommunication by priests sent disobedient kings & queens to Hell. Christie has not adapted to be a US citizen. He's proud to be a servile subject of the pope who leads Ban-Abortion political action..He has 4 children. He can say they were "planned and wanted," but his wife could be excommunicated if she aborted a conception. Since she must live within the confines of Catholic Church law, she seems bound to endorse her husband's insistence on displays of fertility. As a person, Christie has the right to have as many kids as his wife can stand bearing. But as a public official, he must defend Constitutional rights & liberties. In 1973, the Court forced our civil government to stop enforcing Canon Law that bans abortion. In l972, it repealed church law that made it a crime to sell contraceptives to even married couples. Christie is for the bad old past, when Congress & courts had very few female members. Let's hope voters have enough self-respect to refuse to be governed by this Medieval Man and the crucifix he intends to make every fertile woman wear fastened around her brain.

Ha! Ask conservatives in NJ if they think he's a social conservative and they'll laugh in your face! Heck, I wish he were a social conservative. Unfortunately, he's a typical squishy moderate RINO.

If Christie were pro-choice he would win. Nuff said.
