Catholics for Hillary

I think this is interesting and I think it is disturbing. Yet, in a twisted way that Melinda Henneberger only barely touches upon, it make sense by and large.

Hillary is a comfortable choice.

On the "life issues," Hillary has been around a lot longer, and has learned how to deal with the issue better. Of course she has the upper hand here. After all, her husband basically created the most sensi(tive v. bile) argument for legalized abortion when he said "Abortion should be legal, safe and rare." Thats a lot more difficult to argue with than Obama's "I don't want my daughters punished with a baby."

Still, on virtually every other social or economic issue that the Catholic Church has teachings on-- Obama is the FAR superior candidate and his track record (short though it may be) is much more in line with what one would think Catholic voters would be looking for.
