I am with you in opposition to Giuliani. Don't forget that McCain and Romney are really no better. If you are looking to unite in opposition to those three, as I've been saying, it needs to be Tancredo or Hunter. Brownback, sadly is in favor of amnesty which would terribly compromise the security and sovereignty of our nation. It is a pro-life issue too. The USCCB is going contrary to the Catechism on this.

Hunter and Tancredo are 100% pro-life and support a Human Life Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, and both are against amnesty by any other name. We need to unite and not compromise on either of these issues.

The more people find out about "front runners" Guiliani and Romney, the more they will discover that they are not conservative and certainly not pro-life.

Sam Brownback is the man conservatives and religious people should be looking to and supporting.

Tito, I learned my lesson with the last election...voting the party line. Now, it's pro-life all the way.

I don't know much about Hunter, but Tancredo has strong appeal to the anti-Catholic xenophibic fringe, the modern day equivelents of those who used to complain about to many Irish, to many Italians, and to many Poles, comming into the country, NO THANK YOU!

I for one am very confused on all of this and may end up not voting for anyone at all. Brownback may be anti-abortion, and so am I, but he's in favor of staying the course in Iraq, insuring the continuation of a killing field for no observable purpose. If Bush had listened to Pope John Paull II we wouldn't have the Iraq problem today and there's no clear evidence that the continued action there is actually draining the terrorist swamp. As far as the amnesty thing is concerned, I'd have to believe that our Catholic beliefs would favor fair and humane treatment of those caught up in what amounts to a global migration, from south to north to escape inhumane living and economic conditions. And perhaps that's where much of the confusion comes in. Perhaps Roman Catholics need to seriously look somewhere else other than the political arena to influence the direction of the U.S. And perhaps another question, one I've been wrestling with, needs be asked, i.e., "American" or "Catholic" first? It seems we're challenged at every election to chose between the least of two evils and seek to chose what's "best" for the U.S., but in each case, we are asked to compromise one or more of the tenets of the faith. Nation-States come and go; the Trinity is eternal.

Psycheout,

I like Senator Sam Brownback myself. Thanks for the link! I was wondering if there was something out there for us bloggers.

Esther,

Yes, it's difficult to vote in this day and age, but like St. Thomas More did, he never gave up one iota of his principals, just his head. And for that, he is a saint in the presence of God.

FD,

I never knew that about Tancredo. If he is really anti-Catholic, could you send me some info, thanks.

We don't need another Catholic hater.

Anon,

We need to stand up for our principles and vote for the candidate that best represents what we believe in. If it happens to be a 3rd party candidate without a shot at the White House, then WE should definately vote for that long-shot candidate.

Like Pope John Paul II said, we need to be an active witness of our faith in the world.

Anon, there's the easy thing to do and then there's the right thing to do. You ultimately will need to decide for yourself, but make sure you make an informed decision, the right decision.

If you're concerned about Iraq, as are we all, you might be interested to know that Sam Brownback does not support the "troop surge" because it is not the right answer.

He supports a political solution for Iraq but does not support abandoning our responsibilities. Agree or not, his is the brave and principled position.

Tito, thanks for checking out Blogs4Brownback. We hope you'll check in again from time to time. We're doing what we can for the best conservative in the running.

What else is there to be done?

Tito,

As you know, I'm with you about Giuliani, McCain and Romney.

I also agree that Hannity needs to shut up about either his dissent from Catholic teaching or else about his Catholicism.

But what's Michelle Malkin done to merit your mention in that context?

Paul,

I wasn't inferring anything at all, either implicit nor explicit. She's just a well-known Catholic that has argueably the largest following of readers in the blogosphere.

I absolutely have no inclination nor idea where she stands on the Sean Hannity-eating-his-foot-fiasco.

Basically I wasn't trying to single her out for any particular reason.

Amen, Tito. I'm sooo tired of anti-life "Catholic" sell-outs.

Can we get someone who is actually pro-life, please???????
