Roman catholic bishops are forming a committe to determine whether they should impose 'sanctions' on politicians who profess Roman Catholicism as their religion, but support stances on issues such as abortion which are contrary to Catholic decree. So, here are the high five questions of the day:
Which candidate(s) claims the Roman Catholic religion and also supports views contrary to Catholic decree? Here is another pertinent question: In what political theatre would such a condemnation of the Catholic Church mean most?
If you answered Dennis Kucinich to the first question, that's one high five, and if you answered the presidential race on the second that's two high fives. Hurray if you got two.
Someone posted a CBS story here at the DU earlier that listed many interested polls and correlations between them and such. These polls were taken from 9/28 through 10/1, featuring the opinions of 981 adults polled via telephone. In the name recognition poll, Dennis Kucinich posted dead last with 86% of those polled having never heard of Dennis Kucinch. On the question of "Who can beat Bush?", 0% said Kucinich, NOBODY said Kucinich. Out of 981, nobody thought Dennis Kucinich, with his uber-progressive policies could beat Bush. They didn't even get one Dean supporter who was willing to go out on a limb for the K man, and just surprise a poller with DK.
So here's the double high five question: Is CBS NOT doing it's job in covering Kucinich, or is it 'DOING' it's job in NOT covering Kucinch?
It's YOUR democracy.
