Of course--same reasons--why would you even ask?

You think I would vote for John Kerry---who claims to be Catholic yet supports abortion?  I would have had more respect for him if he said "I am pro-abortion.  I know this puts me at odds with the Catholic Church, but this is who I am.  My political advancement matters more to me than my Faith." 

The Democratic Party platform on moral issues can't be more antithetical to the Catholic Faith.  What's more, they are, in many ways, now openly hostile to the Catholic Faith--at least a Catholic Faith of any substance.

Be that as it may. What I said stands: I would vote for a Democrat who was pro-life over a republican who is pro-abortion.  That issue is fundamental for me. As I also said: while voting Republican is no guarantee of a decent justice, a vote for a Democrat is a guarantee for liberal justices.  Republican justices often times do not pan out--but Democratic appointed justices always pan out for the left.
