A small request to Catholics (and this goes for certain Protestants too, but I only have the data on Catholics, sorry)... next election, be it Presidential, Congressional, Gubernatorial, Mayoral, Selectman on down to the dog catcher; next election PLEASE pay attention to what the candidates voting record HAS BEEN. Do your homework and discover the facts and truth about the candidates, not the tingly feeling you get when a certain candidate speaks.
Barak Obama's voting record both as a State and U.S. Senator showed him to be pro-abortion. Every opportunity to vote went the way of supporting abortion and against every opportunity to oppose legislation limiting it, which includes voting NO on banning partial birth abortion and the Infant Born Alive Act. During the Presidential campaign he said repeatedly he would reverse the Mexico City policy and said he would sign the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) as one of the first things he does as President. Yet, 2008 poll data shows between 53% to 56% of Catholics voted for Barak Obama, 13% to 16% more than John Kerry, a Catholic, got in 2004.
Now I read that the Very Rev. David O'Connell, president of the Catholic University of America said every Catholic he's spoken to in recent days has expressed disappointment in Obama for reversing the Mexico City policy, and Catholic voters wonder if FOCA will be passed into law.
I've got news for you; over the next few weeks, Obama will most likely undo several more pro-life regulations, such as the ban on the use of federal funds for embryonic-stem-cell research and the “right of conscience” ruling (which allows medical personnel to refuse to participate in practices they object to, such as abortion). In addition, when he committed to expand Bush’s faith-based initiatives, Obama indicated he would curtail religious groups’ ability to hire based on religious considerations—a decision that would tear the soul and the effectiveness out of these groups.
You know the old saying, if it looks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it PROBABLY IS A DUCK!!! For crying out loud!..what does a stroke feel like?
PREDICTION: The next big "dissapointment" will come from all of those left leaning Jewish people who voted for Mr. Obama only to find out he's really anti-Israel and pro-Palestine. WHAT?! I never knew that!
