Bravo to Carl Anderson. The problem with focusing on Pelosi is that the real problem is abortion is the official policy of the entire Dem party. Sadly enough, BO will likely pull more Catholic votes than McCain in November. From what I see, neither party wants this issue heated up so it is really in the background.

Re: Sadly enough, BO will likely pull more Catholic votes than McCain in November.

I’m a bit suspicious of the “numbers”. I believe McCain will get a majority of “practicing catholic” votes. BO will get the majority of those that claim to be a practicing catholic or were just baptized catholic, but don’t care about the church. Just my opinion from where we live.

Dear doosee,

I don't know what will happen on Election Day, but in the last poll that I saw with the demographic breakdowns, Sen. McCain was leading Snob-ama among Catholic voters by 15%.

Catholics are changing, and if they aren't they are CINOs. They are learning that if they support abortion in any way they are basically excommunicating themselves!
