And then there are those of us Catholics who are very much opposed to abortion, but consider themselves not only pro-life for the unborn, but pro-life for those of us already born. And being pro-life all the way down the line means that we are not hypocrites. We extend our pro-life views into everything. This includes being pro-environment, pro-social justice, anti-death penalty, against the war in Iraq, pro-universal healthcare (which the US Catholic bishops call a "right"), etc.
I just choose not to be a one-issue voter.
A good example of my political views can be summed up by the US Catholic Bishops website. When you read through all their issues, with the exception of abortion, they are all pretty liberal.

Jerry Falwell (Jr.), Chancellor of Liberty University, supported Huckabee and now McCain.
>Hmm - I seem to recall Jesus telling us not to judge one another. I therefore find it ironic that you are judging people who are pro-choice to be bad Catholics.<
Where did Jesus tell us that? Can you provide a reference?
Luke 6:37-42 "Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." He also told them this parable: "Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit? A student is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher. "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, `Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,' when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye."
Also pretty much the entire 23rd chapter of Matthew.
HTH!

I haven't had time to find unbiased sites for you, but here is my take on Hagee...He is anti-Catholic
