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 ? |

WTF is so wrong with being Catholic that you wouldn't vote for them in office?
|
|
Because what this thread is really asking is: Are you prejudiced against Catholics?

I'm sure someone has said it already, but why the heck did you ask two completely opposite questions as far as the thread title and the one listed on the poll?

Why would I give a shit about his religion? I'd vote for a Catholic, Satanist, Atheist, Mormon, Baptist, Muslim, Hindu... whatever. So long as I thought he was in favor of smaller government and free enterprise. View Quote 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. |

If I had it my way, I'd have no idea what the President's religious views (or lack thereof) were.
It's somewhere near the bottom of my give-a-fuck list. |

That is exactly what many Protestants said (and still say) about Catholic politicians. |

View Quote 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. |

Last time we had a Catholic in office, he built a secret tunnel to the Vatican and called the Pope before every decision.
NEVER AGAIN! |

Honestly?
Id vote for a Rastafarian Pop-Tart over Hillary at this point. ETA: So I suppose that puts me in the "yes" category. |

View Quote 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. |

Catholics are the statists of Christianity 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). |

Catholic, Buddhist, atheist, Hindu, Methodist, whatever.
I'm not basing political decisions on religion. |
|

I will not vote for any libs, regardless if they are repubs or demoncrates. So neither is the answer.
|
|
|
I wouldn't vote for Jeb, but I would vote for a Catholic Republican
|
|
No. I'd have no problem voting for a catholic. I would not vote for a republican (or a democrat for that matter) though. |
|
|
i dont care about the religion of a Pres.
With the amount of shitty candidates in politics i will just keep voting "Lesser of two evils" |
|
I will vote for whichever candidate will do the least amount of damage to our constitutional rights. The candidate's religion is low on my list of priorities.
|
|
I would vote for a conservative. Party affiliation means nothing anymore.
|
|
I assume all Catholics are closet Monarchists and believe in Ultramontanism.
So, maybe.
|
|

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.

|
|
Don't care what religion they are, if they share my political views then I will vote for them.
|

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.

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. |

We allow leftists, anarchists, socialists, etc, etc, but of you want a King, go try Saudi Arabia. |

Still wouldn't vote for Jeb if he was Baptist.... Definitely would not vote for Clinton even if she was a sunday school teacher.
