I hope not. I have yet to meet a politician who was above reproach. |

I don't recall JFK getting much reproach or criticism from fellow Catholics whilst he was alive and in power. |

Was there ever politician in high office who was not abused and criticised by a cross section (including Catholics) of the population? A politician's religion will not influence my decision to criticise if I disagree with their decisions or actions. |

I am sure some brief trawling of the internet will provide plenty examples! I'm too lazy to do it! Pax CARLO |

It seems that whenever Mr Ryan opens his mouth he puts his foot in it. Some candidate! |

Tony Blair said New Labour would cut down on the number of people dying. I trust that now he has been converted to Catholicism he believes that 100% of us will die, and no politician has the power to over-rule God. I just thought somebody should post some ridicule and criticism. |

"Was there ever politician in high office who was not abused and criticised by a cross section (including Catholics) of the population?" Maybe so on occasions Rose; but I would have thought that of late it is for the most part in the other direction. PJD |

At present they may well be increasing the number per annum who will die in the forseeable future but no way can they cut down on the number of people dying, we will all do that. |
