One of my good friends is a moderate Republican who has a major hate on for Obama. But she can't stand any of the Republicans still in the race and swears she is going to write in PeeWee Herman.

I wonder what happened to all the "Catholics aren't Christian!" people??
They've moved on to "Mormon's aren't Christian!"
Plus didn't Newt convert to Catholicism? So he is not really Catholic since he wasn't Born That Way?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Santorum is a real Catholic.
I think they've changed their message to "better than the Mormons and DEFINITELY better than a black guy in the White House."
I think you're right.

I was thinking of CHLA and Huntington, both of which are super slow. Frequently a wait at CHLA for a room is over 20 hours, and since you aren't admitted yet, you often have to make sure you have enough diapers on hand for the entire haul.

Definitely this.
Maybe Catholics have become the new arch-conservative almost evangelicals because of their stance on social issues? I blame John Paul II.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've never waited more than 8 or so hours for a room at UCLA, but anywhere from 2-6am is about okay (10m wait for a room while they clean, usually), 6-8 gets dicier--you can get in, but you're just about to hit nurse shift change, and then doctor, which gives you even more of a delay. 8-9 is a wee window, but if for some reason I'm leaving that late, the waiting room is starting to have people waiting.
Watch me have cursed myself for tonight...just watch.

I went to urgent care a few years ago at 3 and the doctor said, "Why are you in now? What changed in your condition from 8 last night to now? Why come in at 3:00?"
Um. So I don't have to wait for more than 2 hours?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Except that, at least in the US, a depressingly large number of them are willing to cheerfully ignore his extremely vocal stand against the death penalty. Sigh.
eta: Not just ignore, but vociferously argue against, all the while accusing pro-choice Catholics of rank hypocritical cafeteria Catholicism. Which I guess is kind of perversely nice of them, as it spares us the trouble of having to do anything but @@ forever at them.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I've discovered that the people running Ryan's childcare support the death penalty. Not at the childcare, hopefully.

They've moved on to "Mormon's aren't Christian!"
FWIW, I know several Mormons who have stated clearly, "Mormons aren't Christian, we're Mormon." You get into odd Mormon theology in the explanation, which most people don't care about and which the rabid religious folk would find even more evidence of "Evil! Burn it with fire!"
