James Talarico for President

[Darkwind]

I haven’t seen such a young charismatic candidate for Dems in 20 years.
In 2006 an unknown young state senator from Illinois named Barack Obama ran for the U.S. Senate and leveraged it into the Presidency.
James Talarico is a young state senator from Texas who is running for the U.S. Senate. I haven’t seen such a religious candidate for the Democrats in my lifetime. He quotes scripture and has a Masters in Divinity Studies.
Talarico is drawing big crowds in Texas and is able to reach across the aisle.

Good thing for him that the right is not into silencing charismatic speakers via assassination, isn't it?

The Catholic Church.

Yes, the Catholic Church is experiencing an increase in new members. However, it has yet to be determined if these number members out number those that are leaving. And besides, how many of these new Catholic church members are immigrants? Do you get to count them?

He would be no different from any other dem, he will march to any tune the DNC tells him to march to.

Look at Spanberger here in Virginia.....Everything she does is strictly by the DNC playbook and to hell with Virginians.....Moderate dem my ass.

Who are these phantom " Christian nationalists"
Are the Democrats trying to use Far Left religious bigotry as a campaign scheme?

Ewwww, quotes scripture and has a degree in religion. Lol, that means nothing especially when he supports killing unborn children which God despises. How is he he going to explain that to God?

Of course the gains are outnumbering the losses. I think the resurgence is due to
Trump and conservatives getting rid of all the crazy stuff

Key Political Positions

• Opposition to Christian Nationalism: He is a vocal critic of Christian nationalism, calling it "a cancer on our religion" and "idolatrous". He strongly opposes policies like mandating the Ten Commandments in public schools.
• Healthcare: Driven by his own diagnosis with Type 1 diabetes, he successfully passed legislation capping insulin copays at $25 a month in Texas. He supports expanding Medicaid and making healthcare a human right.
• Education: As a former teacher, he advocates for increased public school funding and opposes school vouchers, which he views as defunding public education.
• Immigration: He supports a "secure border" combined with a pathway to citizenship. He often uses the metaphor that the southern border should be treated like a "front porch" with a "welcome mat" but also a "lock on the door".
• Gun Control: Following mass shootings in Texas, he has been a prominent voice for stricter gun control laws, arguing that "thoughts and prayers" without action are "cynical".
• Democracy Reform: He supports automatic voter registration, repealing voter ID laws, and imposing term limits on members of Congress.
• Foreign Policy: Talarico supports a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine, opposes offensive U.S. aid to Israel, and has called for an end to conflicts through negotiations.

I see you ignore the immigrants. 71% of the growth of the Catholic Church over the last few years has been due to Hispanic immigrants. The number one conversion Diocese in the United States, Raleigh, NC. Hispanics by and large.

 

[BS Filter]

Democrat stooges eat up those kinds of ignorant soundbites.

 

[Winco]

LOL

Talarico is your Christian neighbor.
Embrace Him.

 

[Lockback]

The fact that this guy is getting any traction whatsoever shows what an incredibly weak bench the Democrats have.
He's just another Far Leftist, a wormy little half-man who thinks God is "non-binary".
Frankly, I'm shocked the Democrats are backing a white guy at this point. But I'm sure he's an apologist for being white.

 

[JanetTheGreat]

I don't like Talarico. He's someone who is a radical abortionist. I am against abortion in most cases. For someone who claims to be religious, I thought that he would understand that abortion isn't morally right.

Hey, at least you're giving up on the socialists' current pool of idiots. Hell, this guy can probably define what a woman is.

That my friends, is progress.

BTW, Obama was a US senator in 2006.

No he's not. He supports killing the unborn. God created life. Talarico supports destroying life.

in 2025 immigration dropped. Catholic Church membership rose.

Yeah, because pretty much the first thing an immigrant does is join the Catholic church.

 

[Lockback]

Yeah, because pretty much the first thing an immigrant does is join the Catholic church.

Your party hates God.

 

[Meathead]

Yeah, because pretty much the first thing an immigrant does is join the Catholic church.

If they're illegals the first thing they do is enter the country or overstay their visas illegally.

Gawd some people are idiots.

 

[Mashmont]

Oh OK. So you're claiming past immigrants delayed joining the Church here, and therefore account for the current gain. lol

It's the KKK leaders the SPLC was paying.
