Many years ago I was told by a college administration that college campuses were apolitical. Every time I see something like this, it reminds me of that conversation and the great belly laughs it induced.

Let's not forget that Obama also opposed the Born Alive Infant Protection Act four times in Illinois. And the man and his "church" has financial stake in partial birth. No self respecting Catholic should even think of pulling the lever for this man or any other Democrat-Socialist for that matter.

You can't be Catholic and pro abortion.

It only would have been acceptable had they challenged him on his support of abortion and embryonic stem-cell research, and made him debate the issues. It could have been a perfect time to corner him and see how he handled the challenge. Instead I am sure they just sat and let him "charm" them.

Doesn't anyone stand up to these politicians anymore and ask them for definitive answers? Why is everyone so afraid of asking the truly serious questions that really have an effect on the leadership decions we should be making? Instead we allow them to toss around hollow words like "change," "experience," etc. Simplistic buzz words for the uninformed and under-educated masses to hang onto. MEANINGLESS BABBLE! Yet we have no idea of what their change would be, or specific information about real experience. At least on the Democratic side.

While the Dems are busy tossing barbs at each other on the issue of race or sex I have heard little from them about the issues.

This makes me sick, literally and figuratively!

How tragic to be betrayed by the "progressive ideas" of some of the 'powers that be".

Here’s all any Conservative needs to know about Barrack Hussein Obama:

Special Interest Group Ratings:

Planned Parenthood - 100% Support
National Right To Life - 0% Support
NARAL - 100% Support
Americans for Tax Reform - 0% Support
ACLU - 83% Support
NEA - 100% Support
NOW Hags - 100% Support
Citizens Against Government Waste - 13% Support
Gun Owners of America - 0% Support
NRA - “F” Rating
Federation for American Immigration Reform - 0% Support
US Border Patrol - 8% Support
Unions - 82% - 100% Support
Population Connection - 100% Support (These are the ‘Zero Growth’ freaks)

http://vote-smart.org/issue_rating_category.php?can_id=BS030017

[Barrack Hussein Obama’s record in the Illinois senate:]

- Opposed the Defense of Marriage Act; would work to repeal it in the U.S. Senate; would not vote for any legislation that would restrict the ability of gays and lesbians to marry.
- Opposed the Born Alive Infant Protection Act four times in Illinois. A similar bill passed the U.S. Senate 98-0. The Born Alive bill would have prohibited a baby from being born alive but left to die according to the mother’s wishes. Obama inexplicably opposed this bill not once, twice, or three times, but four times.
- Obama took almost $90,000 in bundled contributions from the Council for a Livable World. The council is a well-known anti-defense organization.
- Obama puts rigid ideology before what’s best for the people of Illinois, and presumably he would do that as President as well. He has on several occasions made public his opposition to the NAFTA trade agreement and his belief that it must be negotiated. All the while thanks to NAFTA, Illinois exports $1.3 billion in agricultural goods to Canada.
- Obama refused to vote for a bill in the Illinois State Senate that would have increased penalties for drug traffickers.
- Obama voted against a bill that would have delivered the death penalty to gang members who murder first responders.
- Finally, just in case you thought it couldn’t get any worse, Obama was the only member of the Illinois State Senate to vote against a bill that prohibited early release for sexual predators.

Can’t kill the innocent fast enough, can’t free the guilty soon enough!

He supports abortion.

The Catholic Church is adamantly against abortion.

This is terrible — if it is true. (Can’t always tell with the media. — haha)

The Cardinal Newman Society said today that Obama supports partial birth abortion, embryonic stem cell research, and Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion on demand.

No use in reading anymore..

"Barak Obama addressed St. Peter’s College, a Jesuit-run institution in Jersey City, New Jersey."

Shocking!

Jesuit run. That means it really isn’t a catholic college.

Support

Perhaps since they supported Obama

who supports abortion

alumni should withold their

support by witholding funds and donations.

It’s all about support, people. Talk with your wallet!
