How can Kerry respond to these attacks on his religious practice, and attract Christians and other religiously-motivated voters? Check out this post that presents an imaginary speech Kerry might make to convince Chritians that the Democrats are the real Christian party:

That just about covers it. Please update when the bitchification of Kerry’s wife begins.

glenstonecottage: Yes, absolutely the Pope has denounced the death penalty.

It’s just that the candidates themselves were so teeming with teensy tiny flaws

Apparently Bush is so damned perfect it’s impossible for anyone else to measure up.

Pope John-Paul II explicitly denounced Bush’s Iraq attack before it even started, but nobody paid any attention to THAT.

And maybe I’m wrong on this, but hasn’t the Pope denounced the death penalty, too?

Just wondering.

Then-Bishop Raymond Burke, of LaCrosse, WI, was big on this “pro-choice Catholic politicians have to go to church without their wine and cookies” thing, directed at, among others, Rep. David Obey (D-Naturally). Now he’s Archbishop of the St. Louis diocese and sliming Kerry the same way. Back when JFK 1 was running for President the big scare was that Catholic politicians (Democrats, anyway)would just be lackeys for the Vatican, doing whatever the Pope wanted. Now the pendulum has swung over to bashing Catholic politicians for not doing the Pope’s bidding. These religious flip-flops are starting to make me doubt the infallibility of the Republican Church. Really, wouldn’t separation of church and state make these issues less worrisome? Why don’t we give that a try?

Why, oh why do we never hear about Catholic Republican politicians (or Democratic ones, for that matter) being denied communion because they support the death penalty? The Pope has pretty much said that’s as big a no-no as abortion.

That was brilliant.

We are doomed.

Yes, this truly was one of your best efforts yet– a suburb combo of great graphics, excellent research, and snappy prose. I nominate you for a Pulitzer (just don’t let me find out that you’ve been FABRICATING those images, Peanut).

Oh, and I heard that the latest thing Kerry is guilty of is throwing his medals at the Pope when the Holy Father refused Kerry communion for performing abortions on teenage puppies. Or something like that.
