... and I've never voted R in my life. Neither have any of my Catholic family and friends. We're not the monolithic voting group that some people think. Even though it's true that some Catholics went off the deep end when it comes to abortion.

I hate that fact that (back in the 80's) the Repuke Party used the issue of abortion as a way of snagging Catholic voters, when in fact it's a complete mismatch of political views other than that ONE issue.
