Some in the drive-by media are calling it the Potomac Primary. Not living in Potomac, I am a bit insulted by it, since I am not well to do. But that is the drive-by media for you.
On the Republican side, it is basically down to McCain and Huckabee. Both have good pro-life records.
On the Democratic side, you have the choice of two pro-abortion, anti-family politicians.
If you are a Catholic and are a registered member of the Democratic Party in Maryland (or anywhere to be exact), think carefully about whom you pull the lever (or in Maryland, push the keypad) for.
It is my opinion that you really should re-evaluate your membership in the Democratic Party -- it is not friendly to pro-life and pro-family candidates.
So, the question that I pose to you are: Will you vote your faith or are you going to vote for those who disagree with some of the most basic elements of our faith?
Think about it.
PS: For those Catholics who will vote for Obama or Clinton, I hear that there are lots of openings in the Anglican/Episcopalian Church these days.

The MCC – Who are they kidding?
The Feb. 7, 2008 print edition of the Catholic Standard contains an article entitled: Maryland’s US Hose candidates answer questions asked by MCC.
In it, the Catholic Standard stated that all of the House candidates were invited to respond to the questionnaire by the Maryland Catholic Conference (MCC). Candidates who did not respond were then mailed a second invitation. Finally, there were phone call and email follow-ups. Some candidates, they reported did not respond.
According to Richard Dowling, the MCC executive director:
…those candidates who chose not to participate, I must say that their choice is puzzling.
Catholics comprise the biggest bloc of religiously-affiliated voters in the state, somewhere in the neighborhood of 22 percent. As we vote – four in every 10 Marylanders who cast ballots in the 2006 elections identified themselves as Roman Catholic. Here was a direct communication link to a great many Catholic voters.
Who is Dick Dowling trying to fool? Even if the numbers are correct, politicians know that
1. Catholics do not vote their faith. I look around my parish and see Obama and Clinton stickers on a number of cars.
2. Many Catholics are willing to join politicians on the “social justice” issues such as spending more money on health care, etc. However, when these same Catholics come to them about abortion or being pro-family, vouchers, etc., the politicians ignore them. Why? Very simple. They know that they will get their votes no matter how they (the politicians) vote on the issues.
3. Our Archbishop, the MCC and many of the others we look up to, do not seem to have the moral backbone to stand up to these politicians. Where is the Archbishop on the Montgomery Transgender Bill? All I have heard is silence.
It is time for Dick Dowling, Julie Varner and the rest of the crew at the MCC to be fired.

Maryland Primary - Feb. 12, 2008
Well, the Maryland Primary is almost upon us.
This message is really for my Catholic friends who are registered Democrats.
I really don’t need to talk about Hillary Clinton. We all know her record on abortion, homosexuals, socialized medicine, the military, etc..
But, there are many out there who want Obama. They say he stands for change. He is not Clinton. (Yes, I would agree with that on two counts: he is a guy and he seems to have a real marriage.)
Now, what you may not know is that Obama has a perfect pro-abortion record, although he may make you think otherwise.
Here is what he had to say at the 35th Anniversay of Roe v Wade:
"Thirty-five years after the Supreme Court decided Roe v. Wade, it's never been more important to protect a woman's right to choose... Throughout my career, I've been a consistent and strong supporter of reproductive justice, and have consistently had a 100% pro-choice rating with Planned Parenthood and NARAL Pro-Choice America... I believe in and have supported common-sense solutions like increasing access to affordable birth control to help prevent unintended pregnancies... As President, I will improve access to affordable health care and work to ensure that our teens are getting the information and services they need to stay safe and healthy."
Don’t believe he would say that, no problemo, you too can go to the NARAL website and see the perfect score he has received from them, along with other quotes.
Now, not only does is he 100% in the pro-abortion camp, but he is also a huge supporter of the homosexual agenda. This is a quote from an article in the LAWeekly:
Just before Obama vanished into his motorcade that warm evening last summer, he draped his arms around Bernard and Gifford and asked them if he did them right. Bernard looked at him, "Senator, you always do us right. This time, you did us proud."
Gifford, the urban sophisticate, started to choke up. Not only did he realize he was finally doing something that would matter, but he seemed to be getting results. On that August night, he thought, possibly the next president of the United States was standing there for all to see, literally embracing him and his lover.
So, if you consider yourself a Catholic, then think about what your faith means to you and what it means when you go to vote.
Do you walk the walk or just talk the talk?
