obama35.jpgGod-o-Meter reported last week that the Obama and Clinton campaigns were stepping up their Catholic outreach operations big time in advance of the Pennsylvania primary. GOM just got word that Obama's team is announcing an official "Catholic Advisory Council" this afternoon. Here's the leadership:

Senator Robert P. Casey, Jr. (read the God-o-Meter interview here)
Congressman Patrick Murphy (PA-O8)
Former Congressman Tim Roemer (read the God-o-Meter interview here)
Sr. Catherine Pinkerton, Congregation of St. Joseph
Tom Chabolla, Assistant to the President, Service Employees International Union Sharon Daly, Social Justice Advocate

"I don't want them PUNISHED with a BABY!!!!!!!" Barack Obama.

What Catholic - what Christian - would support such a monster.

Catholics would vote for someone who supports partial birth abortion and infanticide? Shame on them! I am a lifelong conservative Catholic who is appalled by the left turn Catholic clergy has taken.

The God-o-Meter (pronounced Gah-DOM-meter) scientifically measures factors such as rate of God-talk, effectiveness—saying God wants a capital gains tax cut doesn't guarantee a high rating—and other top-secret criteria (Actually, the adjustment criteria are here). Click a candidate's head to get his or her latest God-o-Meter reading and blog post. And check back often. With so much happening on the campaign trail, God-o-Meter is constantly recalibrating!
