When President Bush scored an enormous hit with a campaign appearance this month before a Catholic men's organization, he was preaching to the choir as he basked in the approval of an enthusiastic subset of Catholic voters that both he and Sen. John Kerry covet.

But neither can definitively claim those voters. ...[snip] A recent Time magazine poll found that likely voters who considered themselves "very religious," regardless of faith, favored Bush over Kerry by 59 percent to 35 percent. Those who considered themselves "not religious" favored Kerry 69 percent to 22 percent.

I'm disgusted that so many of my fellow Catholics vote for political candidates from the "Baby Killer Party".

For followers of "Liberalism"... "Liberalism" is their real religion. Everything else takes a back seat to it. Even being a good Catholic, evidently.

**Bush over Kerry by 59 percent to 35 percent.**

Wouldn't it be something if the election turned out along these lines??

In the Cathecism of the Catholic church, it does acknowledge that the death penalty may be used in cases in which it is obvious that the murderer is beyond rehabilitation and is a threat to society.

Many believe that the church denounces the death penalty completely. This is simply not the case.

Gee Ronnie...

I thought it was Kerry who fought off those nasty NVA, and saved Col. Moore's men from destruction.

I even doubt he saw that movie.

BTW... for a guy with 3 purple hearts he sure seems to enjoy the good life of skiing, para-sailing, etc. Glad to see his wounds haven't slowed him down one bit.

THIS Catholic is voting for Bush!

The number of Christians that vote for homosexual and genocide advocates is absurd.

Most people claiming to be christian, aren't.

THIS Catholic is voting for Bush!

I'm pretty sure my entire Parish is voting for Bush. Too bad we're not in a swing state.

I voted for Pat Buchanan. Because I thought he was the best candidate.

[RockinRight]

I see. I used to like Pat, but I think he's kinda out there anymore.

[Cap'n Crunch]

hahahaha.... well, I guess I'm kinda out there too.
