Catholic Weddings

Anyone watch the DNC?

I didn't, but I've seen a few FB and blog posts that make me kinda wish I had, just to see it for myself.  I heard that Caroline Kennedy used her Catholicism as her reason for advocating unrestricted abortion.  WHAT?!?!  Is this true!?!  What else did I miss?

(I watched neither the RNC nor the DNC, because I get too upset and depressed about the future!)

 

Re: Anyone watch the DNC?

  • I didn't watch either of them... conventions just seem like spectacle and a massive waste of money to me!  I'm avoiding all things political as much as possible before the elections.  I'm not in  a swing state, so hopefully I won't get bugged too much!  
  • i cannot stand caroline, or any of hte kennedys, for that matter.  they disgust me.
  • I second Calypso.

  • I DID! I watched it and I loved it! I'm a Democrat so it got me fired up! I like political things like conventions it's some or the nicer things before the political mudslinging gets started :-( which I don't like.
  • I didn't watch. I heard most networks cut off Cardinal Dolan's prayer and chose not to air it.  Quite sad.

    Although I read a HILARIOUS article on huffington post:  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/michele-somerville/praying-nice-with-the-democrats-timothy-dolan-gets-it-right_b_1850617.html

    I stopped reading at the point where the author states that Dolan's presence at the convention was his stamp of approval for Catholics to vote for Obama.  I couldn't stop laughing.

    Lol. I love it when people think that if you use a big word (even if you don't have any idea what it means,) you can call people whatever mean name you want!

  • I didn't watch it. I have seen and heard some of it though, and it disgusts me so much.
  • Didn't watch the DNC (or the RNC--except Clint's weird empty chair speech)

    But I did watch Dolan's prayer.  Loved it.  It was gutsy, but perfect.

    Since hubby is covering the election, I have seen all of it. We watch on cspan so we don't have to listen to the pathetic commentary and pointless interviews. Our govt is so sad and pathetic. And our people need to raise their standards. We deserve better than this, but everyone is too busy trying to fight for their party affiliation, they don't h e time to think rationally about the direction of our country. We are I'm serious trouble.
  • Ugh. I HATE the whole "War on Women" campaign trick the Dems are using. I'm sorry, but I am more than my reproductive system
