President Obama turned down a chance to have Timothy Cardinal Dolan deliver a prayer at the Democratic National Convention after Dolan told Democrats he would be “grateful” to deliver a blessing in Charlotte. Dolan leaked the news to Democrats that he would lead a prime-time benediction at the Republican convention. Lest that be construed as partisan Dolan offered to do the same at the Democratic convention. Thanks, but no thanks was the Democrats' reply opting instead to celebrate infanticide.
“The Republicans are smart enough to get the ‘pope of America,’ and the Democrats are stupid enough not to invite him,” said Bill Donohue, of the Catholic League.
Earlier this month the American Life League commissioned a national of self identified Catholics who were registered voters. The poll found only 27 percent of the Catholics surveyed support President Obama. Of those surveyed, 74 percent of Catholic men over the age of 50 do not support Obama, while Obama support among Catholic men under 50 years is only 25 percent. With Catholic women over the age of 50, the president's support is only 23 percent, with just 31 percent among Catholic women under 50 years.
I thought this women's reproductive rights thing was supposed to be a winner for Obama. Of course there are plenty of Catholics who will put party loyalty before their religion and considering the party to which they give their loyalty that is a shame.
This is a little off subject but related. Crossroads GPS and the RNC have not given up the air time they reserved for Todd Akin ads. If Akin improves in the polls expect them to eat crow and fall behind him in the Missouri senate race. In the meantime they are still trying to negotiate Akin out of the race.
