text: I'll have to side with you, Dennis, on this point.  Since the Reagan administration, bishops HAVE sided with the Republican party.  And with good reason.  With every passing election cycle, the Democratic party has become increasing the party of the extreme left, to the point where they are no longer recognizable as Democrats like JFK or RFK.  They are the party of that much more corrupt sleaze ball, younger brother Teddy.  JFK can be forgiven for stealing Chicago.  Today's Dems are attempting to steal America itself . . . by letting in anyone who illegally crosses our borders, the great majority of who can be counted on to vote Dem.   Gay marriage and abortion would not exist were it not for anti-Catholic values.  So OF COURSE the bishops have sided more with Republicans, for all their faults.   Real Catholics need to keep that in mind 9 days from now.   These people are anti-life, anti-Catholic, and in the end, anti-American with their giving the vote away to illegal aliens.
