Why would that matter?

Exactly. Imagine someone sounding off like that about a Democrat. They would be lambasted as homophobic. But I guess it's ok to speculate since he's a Republican - just as they did with Tim Scott. Idiot hypocrites.

You guys currently have a conspiracy theory (that's pretty mainstream within your party, no?) that Obama and his private chef were gay lovers.

Wait? They weren't?

This guy seems like an actual intellectual, not a lightweight peddling cliches and poll tested talking points, which is refreshing.

Talk is cheap. He would force his own wife or daughter to bear her rapist's baby. So intellectual! Such nuance! So insightful and well formed!

I like it when he says it is “inconvenient” when a woman becomes pregnant from rape.

Once again:

Vance is opposed to abortion; on the website for his 2022 campaign for the Senate, he declared himself “100 percent pro-life” and called for “eliminating abortion.” However, he said on CNN in December 2023: “We have to accept that people do not want blanket abortion bans. They just don’t. And I say that as a person who wants to protect as many unborn babies as possible. We have to provide exceptions for life of the mother, for rape, and so forth.”
https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/10/politics/fact-check-biden-campaign-j-d-vance-heritage-foundation/index.html

He has an anti abortion agenda like trump and the rest of the GOP. That is the GOP now. A losing stance but that is their stance.

+1 And not just anti-abortion, but anti birth control, too.

DP. What are you babbling about? That's just complete bull$hit. From the GOP 2024 platform:

We will oppose Late Term Abortion, while supporting mothers and policies that advance Prenatal Care, access to Birth Control, and IVF (fertility treatments).

BS. Biden is a Catholic. And Vance will be the VP - hardly someone to "impose Catholic views on all of us." Quit your hysterical fear-mongering.

Lots of democrats are Catholic. It is the Christian right that wants to force it on everyone, not the left.

Except no one is forcing any religion on anyone. Grow up and stop lying.

What church do they attend in Alexandria?

They live in Del Ray. You can see them around the neighborhood. Their kids’ activities are here. My impression is they’re involved parents, thus having the family here vice Ohio.

And to those who find it outrageous that they have a home here - he's a U.S. Senator and his job is here. Like many congresspeople, he also has a home here.

He explained his road to conversion here:

https://thelampmagazine.com/blog/how-i-joined-the-resistance

Wow, that was beautifully written and so interesting. Clearly, he put in years of thought and inner debate about religion. Interesting passages about his wife, too.

"There was a concern that it would be unfair to my wife: she hadn’t married a Catholic, and I felt like I was throwing her into it. But from the beginning, she supported my decision, so I can’t blame the delay on her.

My wife has said that the business of converting to Catholicism—studying and thinking about it—was “good for you.” And I came, eventually, to see that she was right, at least in some cosmic sense. I realized that there was a part of me—the best part—that took its cues from Catholicism. It was the part of me that demanded that I treat my son with patience, and made me feel terrible when I failed. That demanded that I moderate my temper with everyone, but especially my family. That demanded that I care more about how I rated as a husband and father than as an income earner. That demanded that I sacrifice professional prestige for the interests of family. That demanded that I let go of grudges, and forgive even those who wronged me."

Pfft. Clearly that idea didn’t take root.

Ooh, tell us about Joe Biden's striving for professional prestige - or any politician, for that matter.

I suggest those of you trashing his four-year military service read this. No, he did not see combat - as he VERY CLEARLY states in this piece. He did, however, learn a lot of very valuable lessons that it appears many of you have never learned.

he learned how to be an adult. God help us.
My kid was shot at in Afghanistan. I think he learned some lessons too.

Yay for him? This isn't a competition. Grow up.

Typical Republican, talking to the mother of a veteran that way. What's next? You'll tell her her son is a sucker and loser for getting shot at?

Wow, are you unhinged. You people have been thoroughly disparaging a veteran throughout this thread, so take a look in the mirror. You're repulsive.

When you impose laws requiring students to be indoctrinated in religious materials like the Ten Commandments you are. When you pass bills that are not based in medicine or science but instead are only based on religious belief, you are.

Not to mention, misogyny and racism. This thread is a masterclass of the inner workings of the liberal "mind." The hypocrisy is truly something to behold.

You guys are so full of sanctimonious BS. It's an anonymous forum. You have no idea who is posting what.

But you hate "libs" so much, you assume the worst. Your ugly, vile bias is showing. Talk about disgusting.

Yes, we read all these truly vile posts, spewing nothing but garbage and lies, and "assume the worst." How quaint. Are you actually going to tell us that the worst trolls on this thread aren't LWNJs? Because that would be called gaslighting.

He very clearly states he was attached to units, when on missions and was in dangerous situations in unsecured areas. He got lucky that is wasn’t injured or killed, but he was most definitely in harms way and putting his life on the line. I worked as an active duty nurse and we had causalities from all different units and MOSs, not just infantry, including some of own nurses. So take a seat and stay in your lane.

PP here and I agree with you. I think you misunderstood what I was saying. Trolls have claimed that Vance made the claim that he "had seen combat," when in reality he had not. I was providing that link to show that he never made that claim - ever - and that in fact, he's very open about what his assignments were. I agree that he was in harm's way merely by being in the military. IOW, he never claimed to be anything he was not, unlike what the trolls would have everyone believe.

JD Vance was a public affairs REMF. He mostly did desk duty and the occasional photo op.

Also the idea of a Republican calling anyone racist and misogynist when their own base is currently rioting that a Sikh woman said a prayer at the RNC last night is hysterical. But really. Tell me more about how Dems are racist for simply wondering why a Hindu didn't convert to Catholicism when her dh did.

"Rioting"? Oh my - hyperbole, much? A few extremist online trolls wrote ugly posts - not unlike what the resident LWNJs have been writing throughout this thread. The vast majority of Republicans reacted positively to her prayer. As you know.

[Anonymous]

There are so many reasons to dislike JD Vance

But I'm quite confident that his wife being Indian and him being in the Marine Corps aren't anywhere close to being reasons to object

Any day now, I would really like Democrats to stop being such dumbasses

If you truly believed Catholicism was the only way to Heaven, you'd be getting her into your faith ASAP.

It would be one thing if she was Episcopalian or Lutheran. She worships completely different gods than Catholics. Multiple gods. It is completely invalid in the eyes of Rome.

Don't vote for him if you can't tolerate his marriage to a Hindu. My list of reasons to not vote for him is long but it does include that one. But if that is it for you, so be it.

Girl, be so for real. He could be married to my Episcopalian sister and I wouldn't vote for him.

I'm not saying his marriage to a Hindu is a reason to not vote for him. I'm saying it's evidence that he's not serious about being Catholic and that his conversion was for electoral purposes.

Please try to keep up with the thread.

DP. Are you the moron telling others to "keep up" when you yourself seem like the most ignorant person on this thread? You clearly know nothing about 1) religion or 2) respectful, equal marriages. I suggest you do some research.

Another DP. Vance said that his wife's devotion to her religion made him reconsider what religion could be his own life. Rome (you probably mean the part of Rome called The Vatican) is much more ecumenical than you may think He can be of one faith and his wife of another faith with completely different beliefs. You have no idea why he converted to Catholicism and it is odd that you are bearing false witness against a person; that is something Catholicism forbids.

I agree, but think you're responding to the wrote person/post.

Democrats aren't. Maybe you assume too much about anonymous posters. It's right wingers like Nick Fuentes who are obsessed with her race.

Nick Fuentes has to be a troll. He's just outrageous.

+1
He's a clown and no one actually takes him seriously. No one with a brain, that is.
