‘None of the Above’ - The Civic Sin of Omission (or, why any vote not for McCain is Pro-Abortion)
R.A.G.E. Media Blog ^ | 9/19/08 | Paul Nowak

There is an alarming number of Catholic and pro-life leaders and influencers who are propagating a dangerous, even evil idea. This idea is that in 2008, we do not have a suitable candidate for truly pro-life voters to choose in November.

Not voting, or voting write-in candidates, is the popular suggestion.

When I was in attendance at the Men and Abortion conference in Chicago a few weeks ago, Jason Jones addressed the audience, and said “When you live in a constitutional democracy, your civic duty becomes your religious duty. We are the sovereigns.” In other words, these influential pro-life and Catholic individuals are asking us to abdicate the throne...

A long time ago, I was willing to write in if McCain won the nomination, but I slowly came to my senses. The supreme court is far too important to leave to marxist anti-American nut cakes.

My dad was a "none of the above" supporter until Sarah crashed the party. He is now voting for Palin/McCain.

Considering the fact that John McCain isn’t pro-life - he supports the destruction of humans at the embryonic stage of development, he votes to give hundreds of millions of the taxpayer’s dollars to Planned Parenthood, he mocked those who fought to save Terri Schindler Schiavo, he stood with the Left to block pro-life, pro-family legislation in the Senate for years, and that in his fake federalism he claims that states rights’ trump the unalienable right to life - I consider this article to be highly offensive.

McCain is a big step left. Followed by another big step. Then another, etc., etc. Quit kidding yourself. And Palin doesn’t change that one bit.

She's not an example to me. Just like McCain, she claims that states' rights trump the unalienable right to life, and frames moral issues as being all about "her personal opinion."

You don't realize it, but such words and positions destroy the moral underpinnings of the pro-life movement.

You don't change the hearts of men by becoming the primary cover for the man who has done more to destroy conservatism than anyone else.

You can bet on the fact that Obama-supporters will be looking for every vote they can beg, borrow, or steal! Every conservative voter who doesn’t vote is giving a vote to the socialist!

Unfortunately, every conservative voter who votes Democrat or Republican this year is voting for a socialist.
