McCain Is Taking Two-Thirds of the Catholic Vote in Virginia

NRO ^ | November 01, 2008 | Jim Geraghty

Campaign Spot Cousin reports on an early indicator in Virginia:

The results of the vote of Ms. Borden’s Third Grade Class at St. Agnes Catholic School in Arlington are in: John McCain – 14; Barack Obama – 7! There were no tracking polls so it is difficult to determine whether the undecided voters broke for McCain. I also thought that there were only 20 kids in the class so I am not sure how they came up with 21 voters, unless ACORN was involved in the voter registration drive.

This is one of those elections where Mickey Mouse may not be on the voter rolls, but he had an outside shot of outdrawing the two major party candidates.

Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment

Obama: “If they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.”

Governor Kaine grew up Catholic...........but something must have happened to change his mind

[Happy Rain]

This is good news.

Too often,throughout contemporary American history,both observant Jews and Catholics,steeped in the principles of mercy and justice,ignorantly fall for leftist mendacity and then suicide vote.

Perhaps this time Christian Conservative pragmatism will guide ALL faiths to reject the sin of Obama.

My daughter’s 6th grade class in Catholic school (WA) has been the opposite. : (

[narses]

I agree.

[CaraM]

A catholic school and Obama got 7 votes?
The school obviously has not been able to get the pro-life message out to the kids.
Very sad.

[so_real]

That’s mean 1/3 of Catholics voted *for* Obama — I’m shocked the number is so high. Obama is not worthy of the Catholic (or any Christ-centered religious) vote. Some folks ought to be ashamed of themselves.

I'm calling VA for McCain right now.

[goldstategop]

The more critical fact is Obama is LOSING the Catholic vote by a landslide. That does not bode well for him come Tuesday.

“come next Tuesday...in Pennsylvania..”

There.

I wonder how many of the Catholics who were Dems voted for McCain in crossover voting?

[Ransomed]

Just got back from the vigil Mass. All the cars had flyers on the windows compairing the candidates stance on abortion. That rocks.

Freegards

[Gumdrop]

Interesting, but I am not sure this means anything. It seems to me that folks who sacrifice to send their kids to parochial schools are more likely to be traditional folks and vote pro-life.

I hope it is true, however, that Catholics vote for McCain over Obama.

[sorethumb]

My child’s religious ed class all went for McCain (18 students) except for 2. My parish is very active in pro-life movement.

[narses]

Thanks!

both observant Jews and Catholics

A dear old friend (Lutheran) once introduced me as an Hasidic Catholic.

[Happy Rain]

Ah,the old school sons of Abraham are truly the salt of the Earth.
Sans Islam of course.
The sons of Mohammed seriosly need a Talmud or New Testament to raise them above the status of savages.

Over 100 Bishops Have Spoken Out on Priority of Life Issues  and counting -- my comment/Salvation
Posted on October 28, 2008, 11:59 AM | Deal W. Hudson

The list of U. S. bishops who have spoken out on the priority of the life issues in this election is now over 100. The list now contains 70 individual bishops and three joint statements.

I would like to continue updating this list until the day of the election. I have tried to incorporate all the comments thus far. If I dd not get them all, I apologize. (For a few of the suggestions, I could not find a suitable link.)

Please continue using the comments section to let us know what bishop is not on this list who should be. This would include any bishop who has individually, or jointly, published a statement about this election pointing out the primacy of the life issues.

Thank you for your help.
