And today...

...I join the countless others who have flirted with the oft-repeated heresy that my vote just doesn't count anyway.

In the primary, yesterday, I cast a vote for Mitt Romney, who, just hours ago, suspended his race for the Republican nomination. Ironically, I voted for him in one of the few states that went to McCain by a wide margin (not surprising, as CT is one of the blue-est states in the nation. I often refer to my area as the "purple corner.")

So now I have much thinking and praying to do about this upcoming November. Do I cast in with the man who sought to suppress First Amendment rights even at the expense of the pro-life cause he claims to support? Or do I just stay home? But is staying home giving a half-vote to the NARAL Democrat candidate whomever he/she might be?

I've decided to allow posting without moderation to encourage discussion; hopefully that won't have to change. Therefore, be aware that I may not necessarily agree with any of the comments others have made.

We may discuss adult subjects, but vulgar language and pornographic comments will be deleted. Disagreements between readers are OK, but this site aims to be faithful to the teaching of the Catholic faith and all commenters should keep that in mind.

Like Mark Shea says, conduct yourselves as if you're in my living room.

Oh, and by the way, sales pitches will be shown the trash can.
