"Many faithful fit in undecided group"
"likely voters who considered themselves "very religious," regardless of faith, favored Bush over Kerry by 59 percent to 35 percent."
Sounds like those in the undecided group cannot be considered the "faithful".

Well, I am one Catholic who is voting for Bush!
Ping.
Hmmm, lets see:
One candidate thinks abortion is immoral, the other thaught it was moral before it was immoral.
Lets see, which candidate falls closer to Catholic teaching on private property as explained by Pius X in Motu Proprio 12/18/03: "Private property is under all circumstances, be it the fruit of labour or acquired by conveyance or donation, a natural right, and everbody may make such reasonable disposal of it as he thinks fit." Hmm, I think the demoncrats really love property rights as exhibited by their tax proposals.
Ok, how about socialism: (admitedly closely related to property rights) "Christianity and Socialism are hopelssly incompatible." Catholic Encyclopedia Hmm, hard call there to tell the dift. between the both.
-The right to arms and self defence is a natural right (don't feel like looking up the exact refs, but it is undisputably stated by Aquinas, in fact, you have a moral obligation to defend your life unless you sacrifice yourself in imitation of the Savior)
And so on and so on. Man, the choice is sooooo hard. /sarcasm
BTW, I am a poor Catholic so please don't confuse me with a holy roller.
Coburn up 12 in OKLAHOMA
GOOD NEWS
WE MUST HOLD COLORADO NOW
FYI PING
catholics against kerry says it all
I don't recall where in the Bible it says "Give all your money to the government to redistribute to a 14 year old mother of 3 children born out of wedlock."
I dont mean to say she doesnt need help, but shouldn't we want to help others, not have to? Is it a true sacrifice if it is forced upon us?
oh well, who am I? Just another looney, right-wing, Catholic, nut-case Bush supporter!
I am another Catholic voting for Bush. I really can't see how any Catholic can vote for Kerry. His voting record had made a mockery of our faith. It seems acceptable in the press to bash Catholics, this man should be standing up for our faith...instead he exploits it only when it's convenient.
.
...While BUSH told us all he was going to see MEL GIBSON's "The PASSION of the Christ" while hoping others would too...
...KERRY tried to disccourage all of us from doing so by calling this ultimate story of LOVE and Sacrifice dangerous to see.
...KERRY then even went on to say that the last move he saw in a theater was March 2002's "WE WERE SOLDIERS"..!!
...Election 2004 = Good vs Evil
...PERSONIFIED.

Count 2 more Catholics for Bush here in my household.
My parish is very prolife. I can't imagine any of my co-parishioners voting for that hypocrite Kerry.
Polls are just so much hocus-pocus.
Catholics who vote for Kerry aren't very faithful. This one is voting Bush.
This time I am, and I'm urging everybody I know to vote for him also.
I read Peggy Noonan's recent column. She said she has heard at every election that "this election is the most important of our time" and that this time she believes it.
I think she's right.
Kerry is only a practicing Catholic when it suits him, only when cameras are around. You know, I found this site that has some good info on how Christians can make a difference in their community by holding small voter registrations at the Churches. This site also has information on what you can and can't do with regards to voter registration. I'll be doing it at my Church and hope you all try to get something going too. The link is

Just copy and paste. God Bless You All and G.W.
