Some could say to vote 3rd party to send a message to teh two major parties, while others could simply say to pick the better of the two candidates who actually have a chance to win the political office.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36562133.post-57499868006567722782012-05-07T22:42:58.512-05:002012-05-07T22:42:58.512-05:00Political party is irrelevant.

How politicians vote in Congress or the State Legislature AND how citizens cast their ballot on election MUST conform to the Natural Moral Law. That emphatically places the highest priority on INNOCENT HUMAN LIFE. Nothing else trumps this, not even national security. The economy, the environment, and all other important issues are secondary to the RIGHT TO LIFE especially of the UNBORN and the terminally ILL and the DISABLED. Euthanasia is becoming as acceptable as abortion to many in our contemporary culture of death.Black Birettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08758160681203816829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36562133.post-48672817555563109272012-05-07T09:02:09.855-05:002012-05-07T09:02:09.855-05:00False statements and false coyness.
One is either...False statements and false coyness.<br /><br />One is either pro life or pro choice not "more" either position.<br />In any case Catholics are actually free to vote for either.<br />It is only the neo-conservatives misusing our Catholic Faith for thier subconscious or fully conscious desire to get the laity to vote for the rich man's party. Pure and simple. Abortion clinics worldwide stay open regardless of whether either side of politics wins an election. As abortion is already there, it becomes an indirect and even disconnected cause, not a direct cause when voting. So there is no sin in voting Democrat or if in Australia, New Zeland and Britian etc for a labour type party. The real issue is having people from any socio-economic or labour union background to join the party they traditionally prefer on economic and union grounds but be pro life WITHIN those parties. Meantime, neo-conservatives , go jump in the lake and cool down and mind your own business.Michael Wnoreply@blogger.com
