Why shouldn't they be...Kilgore never called him on it so it appeared to people who wouldn't know any better that Kaine was a good Catholic boy being abused because of his faith. He's a pro abort from the word go...opposed parental consent and a ban on partial birth abortion but Kilgore let him paint himself as a solid Catholic defending the teaching of the Church vs the death penalty. Kilgore blew it.
Kilgore should have taken speech lessons..he sounded like he crawled out from Deliverance somewhere...
If Kilgore blew it anywhere on Kaine and his so called faith it was abortion, not the death penalty.
