C.J. Doyle, executive director of the Catholic Action League of Massachusetts, told Salon he didn’t want to “let Romney off the hook because the initial injury to Catholic religious freedom came not from the Obama administration but from Romney’s administration”; he explained that there was a preexisting exemption for religious institutions already in the Massachusetts law that was stripped out on the advice of Romney’s gubernatorial legal counsel. “President Obama’s plan certainly constitutes an assault on the constitutional rights of Catholics, but I’m not sure Governor Romney is in a position to assert that, given his own very mixed record on this.”
Doyle said Romney was “very consistent at working both sides of the street on the same issue,” but his record on this has been “one of cynical and tactical manipulation.”
He agreed that Romney’s old pro-choice agenda has been somewhat overlooked by his conservative religious brethren. Romney can only pray that they hold off, and they may do so just as long as he continues to kowtow to them. Coming out in favor of the Susan G. Komen Foundation’s decision to pull the funding plug on Planned Parenthood covered his right flank this week, though evidently not well enough for conservative voters. Romney said, unequivocally, that the government should follow suit, but yesterday’s election results could complicate his well-documented problems motivating conservative voters.

Go Santorum!
Wow, eh?
I didn't even turn the television on. Climbed under a rock, afraid to see Romney's smirking face.
What a reprieve. We're back in the saddle baby!
Here's some good links...
On birth control, Romney mirrored Obama. Our friend CJ Doyle is speaking out about the author of violating Catholic Conscience protections.
You've got that right.
Sweet baby Jesus, please..please keep the forked tongues at MCFL, MFI and other Romneybots tied into little knots.

As late as two days ago, bloggers at CatholicVote.org were shilling for Romney. Disgusting.
