Obama has Given Up Colorado for Lent
Suppose you threw a rally but nobody came:
The Obama campaign attempted to schedule a rally-like event on a Catholic university campus in the key swing state of Colorado before settling on a dialogue with a co-chair of Catholics for Obama.
“Their original intent was to have more of a rally element to it,” said Paul Alexander, director of Regis University’s Institute for the Common Good, which hosted the event.
“We just felt we couldn’t do a rally, but we felt a healthy dialogue among Catholics was important.”
About 45 people attended the Oct. 25 dialogue and small group discussion with Catholics for Obama national co-chair Nicholas P. Cafardi, a law professor and dean emeritus of Duquesne University School of Law.
Fear not, comrades — a dialogue is simply a rally at a more intimate venue.
Music by Spinal Tap instead of Springsteen?
Music by Muzak.
Folks are FINALLY figuring out that you can be a Catholic OR a Democrat.
But you can’t be both.
What I find interesting here is that they thought it was a good idea to have a rally at a Catholic school right before the election. Didn’t they do any polling ahead of that decision?
Cafardi was my Law School Dean and taught me Canon Law. Believe he represented diocese of Pittsburgh, too. Also, a nice guy. Kind of shocked he’s the freaking chairman of Catholics for Obama. Sheesh
Catholics for Obama….
As a Catholic, I want to throw up. You can’t put the two in the same sentence. I’m looking at you, Biden and Pelosi. But only for a second, it’s that scary feeling that one of you is the modern day Medusa…
Poor Obama Catholics, how do they reconcile their faith in not killing innocent “pre-born” babies and Obama’s support for dumping babies who survived botched abortions in trash cans? Surely they don’t look forward to linger in purgatory or spend eternity in hell.
45 people showed up? I wish the article had an addenum “Sandra Fluke as not available for comment.”
Yeah. She aspires to such a maddening crowd.
