How Catholic Money Funded Obama's Community Organizing

Wow, thanks for posting this. We have a whole lot of praying and fasting to do… and hopefully we all vote next month!

The troublesome matter of Catholic funding culprits could be enlightened focusing (via Google-Jules Witcover article) this GOP tactics.

As a politician that hired several political consultants for my party’s campaign, I have this experience: few consultants are honest enough to balance their interest in being employed, and, tell their employer like Mr. Rick Davis (RD):
“The GOP never said Wow; we have to change what we’re doing, find new leadership, take a new direction, and embrace some other issues…. I think there is a national attitude against the war in Iraq.”

Now, let’s check the chronology of McCain’s military training of “not be defeated again”, to review Palin fight for his NOT… shared feelings on Iraq by USA people:

1) After her first public speech I wrote at Inside Catholic: “Professionals were consulting that “hit” for Palin? No. Zero point zero words on policies Pro-Life.

Result, her speech mocked: “The Iranians are holding our people hostage. – The Russians are coming. – America doesn’t negotiate with foreigners. – Only veterans and torture victims can really be trusted. – So let’s draft half the country”, etc.

2) Two weeks into the campaign I asked: “They made a poll of how to wrap the most hated issue (the “arms of mass destruction”) to USA people, and proceed in killing THE trump card, Sarah Palin, putting her as a mouthpiece of warmongering babble. Are they crazy?

(Most hated issue: the satirized warmonger “to blink or not to blink” (TV pundit Stewart in Comedy Central had not a party, an orgy! mocking Bush-Palin on that).

3) In the debate, Biden focused the jugular: Your proposed policies in Iraq are exactly the same followed by Bush. KO. Palin gasped.

Lack of preparation HERE:
CNN focus group (non committed)reaction line was most clear: Palin couldn’t raise the approval line WHATEVER SHE SAID on Iraq. Shocking?: Biden saying similar mumbo-jumbo got credit.

4) Not smart: Sunday 5th headlines: ‘Okay, the heels are on and the gloves are off. Obama is palling around with terrorists’.

Republican strategists say McCain desperately needs to land a blow on his opponent if he is to get back into contention… Quote from RD: “In the classic Lee Atwater view of political cycles … the key is not to damage yourself… (McCain should say): We are the reform party, because I am the reform president… And as Teddy Roosevelt did in the turn of the century, he will do, which is to identify a whole mass of people. I don’t know whether that’s 15 percent, 20 percent, 25 percent of the electorate.”

Now focus the BIG percentile. Pro-Lifers are feeling hostages again of the GOP? How come if the immense Christian majority in USA is Pro-Life?

In other words: how to overcome the massive non-coordination of Pro-Life forces?

Firstly, focusing the lack of seriousness of saying, oh how terrible we all agree!!!, and proceed to pay (literally $$$$) & attention on many issues BUT the Pro-Life one.

So, scarce blogs promote serious coordination. The apalling point is:
If we Christians Pro-Life were a serious MAJORITY, abortion would be history, and we wouldn’t be accepting scraps from the Republican Party table.
