The premise is pure fantasy. ‘Catholic’ voters elected this scum and continue to vote democrat despite the overwhelming fatcs tghat the criminal enterprise aprty has used the slaughter of alive unborn as a major empowerment issue for them for decades!
A lot of Catholics were anti-Bush, and by extension anti-McCain, because of the thread of pacifism which runs though much of the Church.
The war will not be an issue in 2012.
Is this article talking about real Catholics who are true to the teachings of Christ regarding the murder of the unborn, or is the article talking about the flaming liberals who wear the “Catholic” label so that they can have a veneer of “religiousness” to them?
“It” didn’t bother the Catholics before. In fact, lots and lots of Red Flags with this guy didn’t bother them before, either.
You voted for this jack@ss, now suck it up.
Really? Where were they in 2008?
Would that it were so. Unfortunately, most “Catholics” in this country were never properly catechized and have only a tenuous grasp of or concern for the moral teachings of the Church.
They may not like his pro-abort stance, but he’ll make it all up on the “social justice” side.
It’s good if folks realize the hot mess that is the O, but honestly I’m sick of dumb people who couldn’t see this train rolling down the tracks.
Why would Obama face hard times from Catholics over abortion with Pelosi and Kennedy didn’t and she still doesn’t?
Neither did this one, but he's paying for it...
The bishops spoke out fairly strongly on the right to life in 2008, but did not make a special point of saying that Obama was strongly abortionist.
But the real failing was McCain’s. He was pro-life, but not terribly strongly. And he completely failed to tackle Obama on this issue. I think he mentioned it once, very briefly, during the debates.
So probably a lot of people simply didn’t know about Obama’s dismal record. Obama made himself pretty clear to selective audiences, such as NARAL and Planned Parenthood, but the MSM ensured that word of his position did not escape to the general public.
Obama voted three times to kill babies who are born alive. And the hospital that was a subsidiary of Rev. Wright’s church notoriously threw live babies into the trash, and in one case onto a hot roof, to die. But few people knew about that, and McCain made no effort to let them know.
but they’ll vote for a good-ol’ boy doofus like Bob Casey because he spouts the Union line, delivers pork and runs around saying profound things like “I’m for Jobs!”???
Not to mention decade after decade of Teddy Kennedy.
You could make a stronger prima facia case for Catholics
voting against Obama because he is black.
