Follow the Conflict Index throughout 2012 as the United States picks a president.
Kansas: The Republicans lost me and I think the election when Santorum started in with religion. Nobody said he’s out of line. That’s insulting, like we’re kids. He’s from the Middle Ages. As a woman, I resent his attitude. I say that as a Catholic, but he would say I’m a lapsed Catholic, I’m sure. Filed under: Election20 […]
Kansas: I’m a Republican and a Christian. I am absolutely angry that Rick Santorum got into his ultra-right religious beliefs. That’s a disqualifier for me. Who is he to preach like somehow he’s God’s messenger? All these guys have got crazy religious views. Mormons and all those wives. Except that Ron Paul has crazy views on everythi […]
Kansas: I never figured the Republicans would start talking about religion. I don’t get it. Do they want to lose? I mean, that’s just dividing us. That’s just letting Obama off the hook on jobs. What is it about Republicans that they are so dumb about politics? Filed under: Election2012, President Obama Tagged: Election, Obama, [...]
Kansas: Do you think there’s so much talk about religion this time because the Muslims have been pushing so hard? I don’t know. I don’t really like it. I’m not comfortable with it. What caused this? Filed under: Election2012 Tagged: Election, Religion
Kansas: I’m Catholic like Santorum but he’s gone overboard and I’m afraid of a backlash. We shouldn’t be imposing our beliefs on others. Gingrich says he’s Catholic but how many dispensations does he need? A lot, I guess. Filed under: Election2012 Tagged: Election, Religion
Kansas: When will Gingrich stop? Confession doesn’t mean you can do it again and then confess again and then do it again. Filed under: Election2012 Tagged: Election, Religion
Kansas: We have these Mormon missionaries come to our home every couple of months. I don’t want more of that. I know they’ll say I’m biased but we can’t have Romney if it means he’s going to have more of those missionaries. Filed under: Election2012 Tagged: Election, Religion
Kansas: I don’t know how this thing got to be about abortion and birth control but it did. That’s helped Santorum. But I’m never going to vote for a fundamentalist so I might vote for Obama in November. And here I’m a Republican. Filed under: Election2012, President Obama Tagged: Election
Kansas: Yeah, I admire Rick Santorum for having a strong faith. But he goes too far. He shouldn’t have even touched that stuff. Filed under: Election2012 Tagged: Election
