I'd still vote Jeb.

That being said, it would be preferable if he could practice his religion on his own time, and represent the people equally by leaving that in his private life, where it belongs.

I don't even know what a papist is.  
 But I know what a Jeb is - and I ain't voting for him.

Why do the thread title and the poll question almost always never say or mean the same thing?





Would you not vote for a catholic republican for POTUS?



Would you vote for a catholic republican for president?, and why ?

This, but I am cynical and I would not bet money that that that candidate would not waste two minutes inserting his or her beliefs in front of their pruported respect fro the constitution. Something like " make no mistake; when push comes to shove I will side with Islam Catholicism".

A presidents religion, should not enter into the job. They take an oath and are supposed to be held in check by that and the representatives of the people.

That said there is no way a devoted muslim can be trusted to separate the two.

Unfortunately, it's a big deal for alot of Americans.

I'm of the opinion that there's at least a few atheist congressmen who attend a church and mouth the appropriate phrases because there's no way in hell they'd have ever gotten elected as openly atheist.

Not a fan of Jeb Bush and would not vote for him, but I'd gladly vote for a Catholic Republican candidate that I liked for President (or rather, I'd vote for the slate of Electors who have pledged to vote for him).  Of course, I am a Catholic myself.

Funny, then, that predominantly Catholic areas tend to be rather anarchic.  Also, the Calvinists ran a totalitarian state before the socialists and others of that stripe ever acquired any real power (Geneva).

Rubio's a catholic, but that has nothing to do with why I don't trust him.  That whole move toward amnesty and dealing with Schumer....anyone that dumb shouldn't be president.
 



I didn't know Jeb Bush was catholic, I guess because his wife is Mexican?  Anyway, totally irrelevant to why I don't like him.  His affinity for amnesty is why I don't like him.

As a Catholic, yes, I'd sure vote for a fellow member for President.  Now that I know that Jeb Bush is Catholic, I'll likely not vote for him.  The denomination doesn't matter, but what I've seen of him does. I don't like what he's had to say on immigration (amnesty), and I think when the Terry Sciavo incident occurred, he could have had the Florida National Guard surround the place she was in or at least pulled the state license of the place she was at along with all the doctors and nurses that worked there.

What does it matter if some of us are in fact monarchists?  It's not like monarchism is going to carry the day on the American political scene.  The only period post-independence where it would have been even a remote possibility would have been while the Founding generation was still alive, as there were monarchists among them (which really shouldn't be all that surprising).  But it would have had nothing to do with the Church back then.
