Sorry, your Straw man fallacy will not work.
It is something I don’t understand although I had to try to understand someone I was veryI fail to understand folks who insist that if we can’t save 100% of the babies, we have no obligation to try to put people in place who will save as many as possible.Rob

Yes, but that sword cuts both ways. There are those Catholics who are comfortable with abortion, probably not CAF posters, but who dare not express any except anti-abortion opinions, and who will pull the lever for Obama once they’re behind the booth curtain.I am praying that many on these forums who will be going to the polls to vote for the down ticket or the third candidate for president will instead vote for Romney and NOT TELL anyone (unless they want to). That way they “save face” and stand by what they have been saying for weeks on these forums.
I am not judging the personal morality of the person; I am questioning their judgment. It really makes no sense to refuse to do everything to defeat this man Obama who is so hostile to people of faith. And voting for Goode or Johnson betrays a refusal to accept reality. Cordially, Rob
Could someone on the other side, or a supporter of a third party please explain to me why there is no sense of urgency to defeat Obama, in light of these new revelations? I’ll be on the road soon, but I’ll look for responses on Monday. Thanks, RobI’ll be honest. After today’s news about Benghazi, I don’t understand how a single human with character being could vote for Obama and Biden. The father of slain SEAL Tyrone Woods said that Hillary promised him that the creator of the fraudulently blamed video would be arrested. No comment about bringing the REAL KILLERS to justice. And Biden asked the grieving dad if his son had always had b*lls the size of cueballs. We now learn that the White House denied THREE CIA urgent requests for support. No doubt Obama himself gave the order to stand down, despite the fact that a drone was taping the massacre real time.
Please Obama supporters, wake up before America suffers this evil man for four more years. Don’t force us to wake up to a nightmare on Nov. 7.Rob
Suppose you believe in what Goode’s or Johnson’s platform is. Then you are betraying your principles if you vote for Romney or Obama.

IMO Some here choose the abortion differences as justification.According to our Church’s teachings. I have heard too many “I” feel, or "I"think preceding
how they’ve determined to vote.
Then they are not following Church teaching. I was addressing the “purists” who feel that
I commend you for your philosophic approach, Rich. I’m more of a realist, however, so I’m voting for the all around better candidate that has a chance of winning: Mitt Romney. I will undoubtedly have to live with the results of this election. This is a far cry from contemplating a four year philosophical discussion over hypothetical presidencies.Suppose you believe in what Goode’s or Johnson’s platform is. Then you are betraying your principles if you vote for Romney or Obama.
I thought you were kidding, but I googled. Here is the link.

In the same way that someone’s voting for a 3rd party candidate who cannot win because that candidate is against 100% of all abortions is moral, the Church teaches that it is moral to vote for someone who will limit the damage even if they are not against 100% of all abortions.Suppose you believe in what Goode’s or Johnson’s platform is. Then you are betraying your principles if you vote for Romney or Obama.
I have only heard one direct first hand account from someone who was with the President while making military decisions, and that account was that the President had to force the Joint Chiefs for come up with a more aggressive and effective policy to go into Libya, and he gave them only two hours to do it. So, while my actually true information is limited, it would indicate that the President is more proactive in these matters than his military advisors.
The danger of always voting for the “lesser of two evils” is that the best candidate–Goode–will never have a chance. If we catholics start voting for only pro-life candidates, the GOP may change their tune on the issue and adopt a consistently pro-life platform to earn our votes. But as it is, most Americans do not want abortion to be illegal. Or they take an unrealistic approach of calling it a state’s rights issue, which it will never be considering the way of “modernity” in which power is being consolidated into the hands of the few.
I could take the CP more seriously if they would do something more than show up every 4 years for a Presidential election. While it is true that a third party will never have a chance if people don’t vote for it, the party itself ought to do something too. I go to their site from time to time and see that in between presidential elections it remains untouched for months on end. To me, they are just not serious about what they are doing.
