they voted for MITT because they were sure he was pro-life. And they were not sure on SUZIO, so he gets blank.

See how it works?

Not a good idea to teach your constituency to suppress their own voters.

BLANK VOTING IS AN ABOMINATION BECAUSE IT SPREADS ENDLESSLY. IT TURNS INTO NON-VOTING.

ask Monsignor Liptak of Holy Apostles. Not a regular voter.
ask sr. Suz Gross, the Diocese Dir of ProLife. NOT
ask Carl ANderson, SUpreme Knight. NOT

and 90% of the 300,000 who attend Mass in CT each Sunday. They are all occasional voters who never show up for primaries or special elections.

There is a special curse for Catholic church goers who avoid the voting booth.

If Connecticut Catholic voters in the middle mill towns were convinced that Romney is pro-life:

a. They are and were wrong because Myth Romney is no more pro-life than Margaret Sanger was;

b. They would therefore have not a clue on Suzio who had a bit less publicity; and

c. There is every chance that they voted for Myth Romney because he was white and therefore, in their minds, more trustworthy whereas Len Suzio IIRC had an Italian-American opponent.

It certainly was not my experience as a GOP Town Chairman in Connecticut that 90% of Catholics did not vote in primaries. In the rather Catholic town where I lived, there was a tradition of high turnout at primaries and elections. There was no reason to believe that non-Catholic voters were any more or less likely to vote than Catholic voters. In a period of forty years leading up to my election as Town Chairman, all but two chairmen were Catholic.

I cannot imagine why Fr. Liptak does not vote. As I recall, he is a fine man. I am not acquainted with Sr. Suz Gross. As to Carl Anderson, the Supreme Knight of the Knights of Columbus traditionally keeps his voter registration in the state wherein he resided at the time of his original election as Supreme Knight. His predecessor was Virgil Dechant who served for decades on the GOP State Central Committee in Kansas before being elected Supreme Knight. He was a conservative.

I always voted and I bet you always voted as well even though both of us attend Mass at least weekly.

So long as Adam Kinzinger is the only Congressional candidate on my election ballot, I will either write in or refrain from voting that office. If he is opposed in a primary, my vote goes to his opponent. Kinzinger is nominally pro-life to the extent that he cares about the issue at all. He is also a mindless footstool of John Boehner and a dishonest slimebag. Too bad. Sooooo sad!
