Will Pat Buchanan disavow his spiritual leader?

By bringiton on Tue, 04/08/2008 - 2:48am

The Pope formerly known as Ratzinger, who as head of the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith was charged with the full responsibility for dealing with pedophilia by the clergy and by his deliberate refusal to take the allegations seriously, repeatedly “forgiving” and transferring pedophile priests, and ordering a systematic cover-up by threatening both priests and victims with excommunication if they talked to authorities, was for more than 20 years the chief enabler and facilitator of the whole disgusting travesty.

Good old Ratzi will be in town this month, right here on American soil. This would be a good time for the ever upright and honorable Buchanan to denounce His Holiness and demand that he retire at once – or Pat should quit the Catholic faith himself.

The text of HR676 (Medicare For All) as PDF (30 pages). The FAQ. Compare HR3200 with HR676.

Medicare for All would save $350 billion a year (study in New England Journal of Medicine).

In 2003, a young Illinois state senator named Barack Obama told an AFL-CIO meeting, "I am a proponent of a single-payer universal healthcare program*." -- Bill Moyers.

18:13:19 lambert With the caveat that Grayson is Stoller's boss. So.
18:12:59 lambert Simple answers to simple questions: Yes.
18:00:47 BDBlue That's true on healthcare, but I was talking about the Fed bill. When the WH surrogates try to water it down, will the blogs fall in line?
16:32:33 lambert They'll pass something, anything. They need to declare victory.
15:40:03 BDBlue Re VL's post on the A-list, it will be interesting to watch the discussion of the bill on the blogs as the WH inevitably tries to kill it via various surrogates. Will we see the veal pen in action? And I agree this bill is potentially huge.
13:36:52 lambert Agree on Ron Paul and the Fed.
13:23:52 brucedixon interesting.... Glen tells me that neither the fake "jobs summit" nor the familiar wailing of conyers about his being disappointed with the prez are the big story. the most important thing happening in DC right now is the Ron Paul bill which wd require the Fed to be audited.
13:57:03 brucedixon I think my colleague Glen Ford is writing on it this week in BAR so I will just co-sign whatever he says.
22:03:36 Valley Girl I'd sure like Bruce Dixon's take on the Conyers comments. Just emailed him.
