A pro-life Catholic group called Catholics United will begin running a cable television ad in Catholic sections of Cleveland, Youngstown and Dayton on Friday that criticizes Sen. John McCain's support for the Iraq war and his August 2007 vote against a bill to provide health care for uninsured children.
"Senator McCain, when will you start defending all human life, without exception?" asks the woman in the ad, who identifies herself as a pro-life mother of three children. The Cleveland-area ads will run for a week on the CNN, Fox News, Headline News, Home & Garden and AMC networks. The ads will also run in Pennsylvania and Michigan.
“CINO’s” United
Huh, no condemnation of the death penalty? The nuns must be slipping, or sipping.
I haven’t seen it, but it sounds like that ad from a couple of months ago where the lady says you(McCain) can’t have her baby for a 100yr war in Iraq.
Same here. They are saying that Obama, a proponent of all abortions and infanticide for any who survive a botched abortion, is a better choice than McCain. On the war issue, Obama has supported most of the funding bills for the war, doesn’t this make him complicit? I had the Sisters of no Mercy, they should stick to teaching.
If this ad isn’t running against Obama also, the Sisters’ credibility is blown away.
I agree that this is a disgrace to the church. I am wondering, can the church lose its tax exempt status by being involved in politics at this level?
I think FReepers might want to spend a little time reading the “Catholics United” website.
Among those positions they uphold:
Catholics United Study Finds that Overturning Roe v. Wade Will Have Minimal Effect on U.S. Abortion Rate
Knights of Columbus Ad Campaign Distracts Catholics from the Real Issues of this Election
Catholics United Statement on Barack Obama’s Selection of Senator Joe Biden as Running Mate (supports Biden)
A Million Doors for Peace (”end the war in Iraq”)

Jesus Christ was a community organizer, pontius pilot was a governor, blah blah blah.
If McCain opposes the bailout, it will blow the race wide open. He can tack hard right against Democratic socialism. Obama will be stuck defending the liberals in congress.
Catholics for Choice shapes and advances sexual and reproductive ethics that are based on justice, reflect a commitment to women’s well being and respect and affirm the moral capacity of women and men to make sound decisions about their lives.
The words “social justice” in one of the headlines ont he page should tell you something. And not a word about spirituality.
Silverleaf nailed it...these clowns are nothing but a bunch of CINO’s...
Lefties trying to pass themselves off as Catholics.
They’re about as “Catholic” as my cat! LOL
An admission by the Obama camp (and let's make no mistake about who is pulling the strings here) that the Obamessiah's numbers among Catholics have not improved since his selection of Skippy Biden, and an admission that this weakness is indeed hurting The One's chances at winning PA and/or MI.
How would this woman have dealt with the rape, tortures, and murders by Saddam Hussein and his sons?
The Left told us that the sanctions were killing Iraqi children.
Saddam had repeatedly violated the peace agreements of the 1991 Gulf War. It was Saddam who kept the war alive by breaking the peace.
Social justice alert; Been hearing about this for a while in our area. I always knew it meant abortion and socialism.
Will this SAME 527 be taking Obama to task for opposing the Born Alive act? Obama opposed ending the practice of placing small infants on a utility closet shelf to die.
