phse conservative catholicsecause one of thehings that bothers me was someone who was born into ka lott simple and lived in caolic cmunities all my life, this word catholic gets rown around to incle everyone who h ever be baptized in a roman catholic church. there are liberal catholics. there are radical lal catholics. there are conservative catholi and th have different opinions. let's consider current pollg, for ample, amo catholics in the unitestates on president obama. rit now obama isolling among catholics at 54%. john mccai-- and i'm sorry these are exit polls. thesare exit polls from the election. obama,54%. mccain,45%. that means and i he argued this politically before. what that means is afar as i n see, catholics no longer function as an interesting subgroup in plling because the behave and have for many years, ey behave identically to the poll. e whole ved forbama 53%. catholics voted for him slightly more at 54%. so what exactly is it that we're talking about in american politics, e.j., when we talk about catholics? we're talking about this group that sms toepresent identica

mississippi governor hailey barber then offered then congressman pickering the senate seat of trent lottn 2007 and the lawsuit further claims pickering's mistress insisted if pickering accepted the position their relationship would not be able to continue. a spokesman for barbara denies that the governor ever offered pickering that seat but here's the real curiosity. not only did mr. pickering campaign on family values and pushed a constitutional amendment against gay marriage, not only did he call for the resignation of president bill clinton, but mr. pickering was living in the christian fellowship home on c street in washington, d.c. otherwise known as the fellowship or the family while he was allegedly carrying on his extra marital affair. the c street fellowship hall was also occupied by the nevada senator now confessed adulter john ensign as well as former congressman and now confessed adulter er mark sanford. let's bring in our msnbc political analyst eugene robinson. great to see you. >> good to see you, david. >> eugene, wow. that c street fellowship was busy. >> it sure was. yo

she went to him and told him you can't take the seat with trent lott and continue your relationship with over. divorce your wife. the guy divorces his wife. she knew he was heard and was going to cause pain. why isn't it a recognized tort? >> because the tort assumes that the marriage was ok beforehand. hello, maybe things were a bit amiss. if the girlfriend was there first, why doesn't the girlfriend have a cause of action against the wife because i could have been married to him. this is crazy. steve: would the financial status of the girlfriend have anything to do with this? >> it may. >> loaded and may be hot it may all be worth it. >> i'm not saying the guy didn't make the right choice. the girlfriend knew he was second. he dropped her to marry in the first place. >> where does his responsibility fall into all of this. go after the girlfriend. leave husband alone. this sets women's rights back like 7,000 years. remember, this whole cause of action comes from the day when a woman was considered the property of a man. steve: email us right now. do you think it is appropriate to go aft

my former colleague and one time majority leader senator lott once said that being majority leader of the senate was like herding cats and i certainly agree with that assessment. so let me just say that i appreciate the work that the majority leader does. but if i had been majority leader i would never have had to do any of those amendments. the majority leader sets the agenda for the united states senate. all he has to do if he wants a hate crimes bill up is to schedule it to be taken up, to be debated and discussed, and amended in the regular order of the united states senate. instead, he chooses to put it on the defense authorization bill. a bill that's vital to the future of the security of this nation. and id that his passion concerning hate crimes. and i have heard speakers come to the floor all day. they in very graphic terms described and very moving terms and i am sure the next speaker will, too. about the terrible crimes that have been committed in this country by some of the worst of the worst people that have ever inhabited this country. but the question remains: why shoul

citing john lott, who they all it fired for his ideas about the inalienable rights of man and the natural rights that government is supposed to respect those among people, the british, he started into the british coffee house the next day in the british offices gathered round him in brutally assaulted him. he had his head slashed open. he was obviously severely ill. he did recover, but he never recovered his stability and perhaps at some point he study della the patriots in american history. you may not have heard of james the patriot because from then on he is basically whisked off stage. you don't hear about him. his family put up with him. they hope he recovers. he comes back and doesn't do things that is while politically. he is finally shunted off to a farm in andover and we really don't hear about him. mercy meanwhile, mary to the high sheriff, her husband is involved in these politics. john adams knew him through legal circles for gober husband being bahÁ'Í sheriff incheon being the lawyer. john adams did not like plymouth that first 21st came. he wrote to his then fianc, abiga
