Pope Francis denounces trickle-down/Reaganomics

Senator
I was struck by the fact that Pope Francis used the term "trickle down", since it's such an overtly civil/political term. I'm not sure what this means. It could simply be that since "trickle down" has become such a recognizeable and generally accepted part of the lexicon, that the civil/political aspect didn't occur to him.

Or....this could be the precursor to more.. We shall see.

Pugs are really starting to hate on the Pope.

Sarah Palin began the hate campaign with her word salad diatribe, but then she partially retracted it, blaming her "thoughts" on the "lamestream media." And now Pugs are starting to realize that the Pope really does convey the word of Christ, and the word of Christ is diametrically opposed to the central tenets of the GOP.

The GOP's hate campaign against the Pope will really take off now.

I don't know of a single conservative that hates the Pope. I personally think he's the best thing to happen in decades. What conservatives hate him?

My stepdaughter and her husband are "born agains" and GOPs. When they were up yesterday, I posed the question...."Hey, waddayu think of this new Pope?" I was surprised and gratified when they could hardly say enough GOOD things about him!

This will be a problem for some of the Fox/GOP going forward. As I babble elsewhere, I think a lot of people are considering The Pope on a somewhat higher plane, than your average run-of-the-mill political partisan.

A few "conservatives" of note, have made a few noises. But as you say...I don't see them - at least at this point - as representing anything more broad than themselves.

Scan the board, scan the media accounts - Pugs are really starting to hate on him. All that "socialist stuff" about the rich and the poor. Gidget got the hate ball rolling.

You're falling behind in your GOP hate agenda.

Try reading something besides the usual liberal garbage sites.

The "usual liberal garbage sites" are not where one would read the Pugs' hating on the Pope.

And I referred to this site too, where Pugs are hating on the Pope - is this a "usual liberal garbage site"?

I consider Pope Francis to be a priceless gift to us all - Democrats, Republicans, Muslims, Atheists...whatever. Whoever the gift horse is, we look him or her in the mouth when we trying spinning him into a partisan issue.

Tell that to Sarah Palin and Pugs doing the hating on him. The Pope is highlighting what it means to be truly Christian, and Pugs ain't liking it one litle bit, as it doesn't jive with their partisan agenda.

I think Charcat's a "Republican", or at least sympathetic with "Pugs". Charcat's down with Pope Francis. That means a helluva lot more to me, than what some random media fringester has to say.

Actually it is, at least most of the time.

The GOP hate is simmering....give it time to come to a boil.

I am "down" with Pope Francis? I just said in a previous post that I think he is wonderful. Where did you get that idea, Fairsheet? I'm not a "Republican", though. I AM a conservative.
