Catholics vs. GOP
Catholics United, which routinely criticizes Republicans, is running radio ads against 10 anti-abortion House members -- including five Catholics -- for voting against the expanded State Children's Health Insurance Program. ''That's not pro-life,'' the ad says. ''That's not pro-family. Tell Congressman (blank) to vote for health care for children.''
The five Catholics are Joseph Knollenberg and Thaddeus McCotter of Michigan; Steve Chabot of Ohio; Ginny Brown-Waite of Florida, and Gene Taylor of Mississippi (the only Democrat among the 10). Others targeted by Catholics United are Tim Walberg of Michigan (non-denominational Protestant); Michele Bachmann of Minnesota (Lutheran); Sam Graves of Missouri (Baptist); John Peterson of Pennsylvania (Methodist), and Thelma Drake of Virginia (United Church of Christ).
