Tim: I disagree with our contributors who support Obama, like I disagree with any Catholic who supports McCain. But what I DO understand is why each Catholic supports who they support. We have a crappy system and people of Faith are trying their hardest to somehow fit into a bad system and convert it. Kudos to them! I just find it especially odd that everyone attacks Catholics who support Obama when, frankly, the Republican nominee supports engineering humans in a factory, and the fact he is against 95% of the rest of abortions is really irrelevant if humans can be reduced to some scientific lab experiment. We are ALL in danger at that point. Why be against abortion in the 3rd trimester if you can kill them early on? Strange argument.

RadicalCatholicMom – Relax, i didn’t say all contributors here thought the same. It’s just that noone ever calls out the ones that do, even with some pretty blatant enthusiasm here in the posts.

RCM-

Your criticism of McCain is entirely fair. My hope is that McCain’s Catholic supporters will be able to convince him that his support for federal funding of ESCR undermines his otherwise stellar prolife record. I am not sure that we’ll be successful in changing his mind, but I do think the recent advancements in non-embyronic stem cell research are have a positive impact on McCain. Whether these promising scientific advancements are enough to bring McCain around remains to be seen.

I find it so odd that everyone focuses on Obama, yet McCain, as Policraticus has pointed out before, believes that human beings should be manufactured in a lab so that they can be used as parts for others. Bar-freaking-baric! It is all bad and try as I might, as much as I WANT to participate in the political world, I just cannot. I cannot get over the inherent anti-life policies both parties endorse.

Perhaps you could stick to one psuedonym Chuck/Rita.

Those who would side with NARAL would have also sided with Adolph Hitler. Voting for Obama is tantamount to voting for genocide

I agree with you,Nate. We have to show our numbers by showing we care but don’t agree with Any of the Above. Sadly, Catholics will vote for Dems or Repubs with the whole “lesser of evils” spiel.

Teutonic Tim: Get over it! We have NEVER had a consensus here that all of us support Obama. Please back up what you say where every single contributor here supports Obama! Who are you quoting? Really?

But I thought Vox-Nova contributors said he was the most “Catholic” dandidate? But I thought he was against “most” abortions?

Why exactly is this a surprise? Don’t the people who support him here actually look at his voting record and statements on record regarding this issue?

While I think that I’m probably going to abstain, I think that our refusal to participate only make sense as a Catholic voting bloc seeking to exert pressure on the political system. In other words, if 10 million Catholics wrote-in, “A Future Catholic President”, that would help us to shape the next election. But if 10 million Catholics just decide not to show up at the polls, that’s a different story.

“I’m so sad I don’t have anyone to vote for :’(”

Katerina, I am seriously thinking of casting an empty ballot. It is my only form of protest that I have. If my system of Government only gives me a choice between pro-death and more pro-death, I refuse to participate in it. I have wavered first from being a pro-McCain to a pro-Obama. Yet at the end of the day, I just cannot sacrifice the pro-life vote. All rhetoric is mere rhetoric if people have to die.
