I WOULDN'T VOTE FOR HIM NOW, IF HE WAS THE POPE!!! Joe (mea maxima culpa) Clarke ref: http://www.philly.com/inquirer/home_top_left_story/20070514_Religious_attacks_ late_in_mayors_race.html I thought something about this "literature drop" didn't pass the smell test. I have done plenty of lit drops at RC churches, in particular, in past elections. Something in this article didn't ring true. 1) You don't do isolated drops at the polar/cultural ends of the city, rather you target multiple churches in wards with very specific demographics. 2) One of my kids used to attend St Katherine of Siena, and I believe such an argument would fall on deaf ears there. It was my recollection the RCs around there may love the Holy Father(s), but forsake some of their less popular teachings, so the RC's strict devotion to utter obedience to the Church is questionable. 3) What is most disconcerting is Ben Hayllar, Rendell lacky and Nutter supporter, just happened to be available to speak for offended RC's. Rendell is not supporting Knox. Why do you think he lent Kate Phillips to Brady's campaign? 4) In Society Hill how convenient Judy Hartl a parishioner at a nearby ultra liberal Episcopal church (and probable Nutter supporter), just happened to be available to speak on behalf of aggrieved RCs at St Mary's. I'd say this is a classic Demo dirty trick meant to make outsiders Team Knox look like asses. What a shame the local members of our Democrat(ic) Party can't run a civil campaign in their efforts to represent the best interests of the People. And, always be suspicious of newspapers in Philly. How did the Inky reporters just happen to get statements from two most unusual man and woman on the street? Maybe Sali has a point, but has been less than eloquent in trying to point out apparent reportorial biases.
