"Dear Cong. Stupak...."

...you broke our heart and our hopes. Way to hold firm to those "CATHOLIC PRINCIPLES."

I guess he never promised us the world... but it's sad how quickly the affair is over :(
CMR has a great summary of it if you don't want to watch the video.

"...let's say we lost that amendment, we need 218 and we get 217... would I still vote against health care? If I had to vote my conscience, I probably would not [vote against it]."

Well sir, your conscience is rotten, and your "give it our best" mentality is weak. Im glad Thomas More didn't cave, that Joan of Arc didn't cave, and I am sure as glad Jesus didn't say, "well hey I got whipped, that's good enough, I am going to get off this cross now." So much for integrity....



I am definitely nominating him for a CERF award this week.

How sad :( I knew it was too good to be true... is it time to give up hope that Catholic Democrats exist in pure form?

CERF Awards - Presented to...

...those who claim they are "Defenders of the Faith," "Spritual Warriors," or that they are "Defending Us in Battle" but in reality they just want to pretend that they are upholding the faith. In other words they don't hit any harder than a "Nerf."

I was inspired by the Maureen Dowd article that I referenced in the post prior to this one. I realized I should probably award this honor to folks, so that they feel good about writing about the faith and "Upholding" it... at least in the same way 7 year olds think that they are "fighting evil" when they shoot their household cat with a nerf gun :) I am using CERF as to not bring scandal upon the Nerf brand or company. So Ms. Dowd wins the award for this past week, and who knows, maybe as time goes on I will keep track and present monthly and yearly awards! So if you have any nominations, just send them in and we will see what we can do!


(***DISCLAIMER****: Nerf in no way sponosors this award. I am using Nerf in a completely satrical, educational, and referential way to explain the "soft" and "un-dangerous" way that certain individuals choose to fight the battle versus evil. I expect to make no money off of
