It drives me crazy when some liberal yahoo slaps a "Catholic" label on things and claims to speak for me. Such is the case of the liberal partisan organization "Catholics United".
The organization is running radio advertisements on Christian stations in 10 congressional districts targeting what they deem as pro-life hypocrites. By this they mean House members who are pro-life when it comes to abortion, euthanasia, embryonic stem cell research and the Mexico City policy, but who oppose the expansion of SCHIP, a children's health insurance program that has become a Trojan Horse for universal health care.
Catholics United promotes global warming, government control of health care, and withdrawal from Iraq. Their targets for the SCHIP ads look like they were handpicked by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. All the targeted congressmen, save one, are pro-life Republicans and of those nine, six are in very vulnerable districts.
The one Democrat, Gene Taylor of Mississippi, won with 80% of the vote last year. That's a lame attempt to cover the group's partisanship.
Such choices indicate that the ideal candidate for Catholics United is a pro-abortion and pro-gay marriage Democrat - issues the Roman Catholic Church deems non-negotiable who will support a massive expansion of SCHIP. Heretics United might be a better name.
Catholics United Executive Director Chris Korzen in a press release regarding these ads said: "Building a true culture of life requires public policies that promote the welfare of the most vulnerable." Given the organization's determination to oust pro-life Republicans, the "most vulnerable" to Mr. Korzen are clearly not innocent children in the womb.
Mr. Korzen, I want nothing to do with your mission and I hope your Bishop will correct you.
UPDATE: The script for the radio commercial reads: “I'm the mother of three children, and I'm pro-life. I believe that protecting the lives our children must be our nation’s number one moral priority. That’s why I’m concerned that Congressman X says he’s pro-life but votes against health care for poor children. That’s not pro-life. That’s not pro-family. Tell Congressman X to vote for health care for children. Call him today at XXXX, that’s XXXXX.”
I don't believe any will run in the Pittsburgh area, however PA Rep. John Peterson of Pennsylvania is a target of one of the ads. Listen here.

I haven't heard the ads yet. Maybe they're not running them in this part of Pennsylvania.
