I was disgusted to see the "leaders" turn their backs on Kerry (a Catholic!) to support an ignorant warmonger. They expected us to do it again, but looks like some people voted their own interest. Abortion is a deeply personal issue. Why don't the bishops speak out just as loudly against war, poverty, environmental degradation, the death penalty, and the struggles of working families? Some day I hope my Church finds its conscience. As a Catholic, I am distressed to see my Church selling its soul to the Republican Party.

Age has nothing to do in this election just like racism and sexism! Military heroes has never been elected as President and this is why people still admire America! We have enough military minds around the world messing things up! Mr. McCain could have chosen a new direction...he kept the last eight years attitude dictate his own words and actions in this campaign! If there is one thing I have learn in my young 43 years of age is to appreciate other generations for their past contributions but also the respect towards this generation who has not been able to see clearly and stay in touch and be driving on the wrong side of history. I think President Obama and millions of americans still have and will continue to have a deep respect for Mr. McCain especially when we get to see back the real John McCain, the one in this campaign was not John McCain!

Only a very silly person could imagine that a ban on abortion would stop it. responsible and caring social policy is the way to go. This is what we heard from Obama's reasoned stance on the polemic abortion issue. The lies, deceit and lack of concern for the poor and disenfranchised (the ones that Christians are asked to care for) by the Republican ticket is very shameful.
