Catholics will be repelled by B.O...

...........................

I don't want Senator Obama to win -- our political positions are too far apart -- but I do want both political parties to understand the Catholic voter.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Inside Catholic) - I am writing this unsolicited memo to help the Obama campaign understand the Catholic vote.

It has been the practice of Democratic presidential candidates, including former Vice President Al Gore and Sen. John Kerry, to enlist the help of well-known Catholic dissenters as advisers to their campaigns (no need to name names). As a result, the Democratic presidential candidates have failed to understand Catholic voters, much less connect with them.

~Snip~

The candidate's decision in a televised debate to call his vote on Terri Schiavo a "mistake" turned off many sympathetic Catholic voters -- especially young people -- displaying an amazing lack of insight regarding the Catholic voter. Again, it suggests he is getting bad advice.

Senator Obama will have to stretch himself to reach Catholic voters, and should not deceive himself into thinking that he's a "natural" for them. He needs to be himself, act humbly toward social conservatives, and acknowledge the differences while looking for places where he can connect with them.

Three years ago today...

From RenewAmerica:

.........................

From Dan Rather's credible reporting about President Bush's National Guard service prior to the November 2004 election, to writing a prewritten story about Terri Schiavo's death, CBS has proved to be America's most credible news service.

Most Americans, by now, are familiar with the Terri Schiavo story.

The story of Terri is heart-breaking. In 1990, doctors claim Terri suffered a heart-attack causing her to collapse for minutes without oxygen getting to her brain. As a result, Terri has been perceived by many to be in a "permanent vegetative state."

For 15 years, Terri's husband Michael and her parents Bob and Mary Schindler have been involved in legal battles concerning Terri.

On March 18, 2005 Terri Schiavo's feeding tube, which sustained her life for 15 years, was removed. As of this writing, Terri Schiavo has been without her feeding tube for approximately 12 days...................

CBS News back in action!

THE APPLES HAVE FALLEN FAR FROM THE TREES 2 PEAS IN A POD = TWO BETRAYERS OF HIS FATHER'S LEGACY! Franky this week said his father was worse than Obama's Rev Wright and sorry senator Casey today endorsed Obama, betraying Governor Casey's pro-life legacy! SHAME!
