Catholics for McCain - Get Busy!

Want Culture of Death loving Obama enforcing the murder of children even if they manage to survive a botched abortion? Of course you don’t - but you’ve got to get to work and help out:
Dear Catholics for McCain,
John McCain and Sarah Palin urgently need your help to reach out to Catholic voters! There has never been a more important election or a more historic moment in our nation’s history.
That is why the campaign is humbly asking you to please sign up today to participate in our innovative Catholic-to-Catholic Online phone bank program and make calls from the comfort of your home to fellow Catholics in key battleground states. We must have all hands on deck to make it a success and we are asking everyone to contribute a small amount of their time! Please consider making 50, 75, or 100 calls with this program over the next 3 days.
Here are the links you can use to sign-up and start calling Catholics today in Ohio, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Virginia.
Please also enjoy the quotes and stories below in regard to the Catholic vote. I hope that the courageous statements by several influential Catholic Bishops below will inspire you to continue fighting for our shared values. Thanks for all you have done so far to support Senator McCain and Governor Palin. I know they have been overwhelmed with support from Catholics across the country and they look forward to winning the Catholic vote on Tuesday, November 4th. Please forward this e-mail to your Catholic friends and ask them to sign-up with Catholics for McCain today!
Onward to Victory,
Josh Lynch
Director, Catholics for McCain
Please note that we’re working on Pennsylvania - a heavily Catholic, pro-life (yet still Democratic) State which Obama cannot afford to lose. If we Catholics can get Pennsylvania for McCain/Palin, then that will be all she wrote for Obama and the Culture of Death.

Are you sure it’s wise for the GOP to spend any more time on Catholics? They support Obama 50 to 41 over McCain. Seems like a lost cause.

extra,
Depends on what they mean by “Catholic” - if its “Catholic” in the sense of “I was baptized Catholic and some times show up at Easter and Christmas” then, yes, Obama is probably even more ahead than your linked poll indicates…but if its “Catholic” in the sense of “attend Mass nearly every Sunday”, you’ll find McCain with a large lead…and that is whom we’re trying to reach; active Catholics who, perhaps, still adhere to the ancestral voting pattern (once upon a time to Catholic meant to be Democrat) and don’t know the full truth about Obama’s support for the most radical, anti-human aspects of the Culture of Death.

Now there’s a sticky job - trying to reach out to just the “real” Catholics, and avoid the phoney “Creasters”. That ought to be a lesson in tact!

But that only demonstrates what a waste of time these calls are. There are more “holiday” Catholics than dedicated ones, probably by a huge margin. (A fact which is true of every faith, I’m sure). So these calls are likely to get mostly the first type of Catholic, then a bunch of the second, most of whom are already McCain voters. It’s wasted time.

Big Charles,
Allow us, then, to waste our time as we see fit. But, of course, I don’t see it that way - there is still the fact that more than 40% of practising Catholics voted for Kerry in 2004; Obama is even more of a pro-abortion extremist than Kerry was, and doesn’t even have the patina of being a fellow Catholic…we can eat into this level of Democrat support and, perhaps, take a State or two away (and, heck, I haven’t given up on Michigan - and I don’t really think McCain has, either…but we shall see).

extra,
We’ll reach out of all of them, of course…hoping not only to pull in the strong believers, but also recall to the Truth those who have slipped away.

Mark,
Not that your appeal to Catholics will have any effect, but you are wrong when you say Obama can’t afford to lose Pennsylvania. If you add the electoral votes of the states where Obama has at least a 5 point lead (according to Pollster.com averages), he has 309 EVs. Obama has several avenues to reach 270 EVs, but McCain has to win all of the typically safe Republican states plus virtually all of the toss-up states.
