Re: South Carolina: Romney 33, Gingrich 23, Santorum 16, Paul 13
I hope it will be Gingrich but I am sure it's going to be Romney.

Re: Presidential candidates focus on abortion
OK!! So! Romney will never get my vote! Even if he is chosen to stand against Obama. He has just nullified himself on the 5 Non - Negotiables.I will then vote Third Party or write in candidate that is Pro- Life. Period.

May as well vote for Obama because that is all you will achieve by stomping your feet and pouting.

Yes, strongly prolife.

Ah!! How I was eargerly waiting for some one to say this!!
Now. Here is the real deal. The Republican Party has to a great extent lost it's soul - yes? Witness that Romney is not Pro - life and is getting support - yes?
Why has the Party lost it's soul? Because we (Catholics) do not Stand for our convictions!
Think about it. The Republicans can throw us (Catholics) a bone ( perhaps I should say 'Plank' of Party policy) such as supporting same sex marriage, but then ignore the Pro - life issues!! Why should they bother with us? They then know they got our vote! They then pander to the liberals  in their Party and the press. Beleive me, the Liberals in the Party are unyeilding! Unlike Catholics that collapse at such pittances thrown our way. We need to be unyielding.
So....... unequivocably NO! 
No longer will I strategize for the truth! I will only stand for the truth.
Never - ever - again. Period.

Voting third party means Obama is re elected. How has he nullified himself on the 5 non negotiables. He has consistent pro life record as governor. Pro life advocates in Massachusetts say Romney is sufficiently pro life. Romney has said Roe vs Wade should be overturned. He has pro life conservatives on his judicial team. Pro Life former Vatican ambassadors have endorsed Romney. A leading pro life attorney as well as a pro life activist have endorsed Romney.

I understand that his not going to the forum and not signing the pledge put his conviction into question, but how does it actually "nullify" him, especially in a head-to-head against Obama?

If Romney is 100% then ok. If not-
Then let the rain fall! If we be talking Eschatology as a consequence then.So. Be. It.
The alternative? To live life at the expense of our values? To let the abortion mills cantinue for even longer? If the end times come then let them come. Let us finish this.
As for me I vote only for those that support the non- negotiables. And I lobby for the truth - only - and pray my Rosary. Period.
How can our Lord use us if we are always thinking and doing our way?  If we act by sight and not by Faith?

If you choose not to vote, you should consider going to confession on a daily basis and implement a program of corporal mortification to drive this sinful impulse from your body.
