Despite Pat Robertson's endorsement, according to a bigger authority it appears to be "formal cooperation in evil" disqualifying one from Holy Communion if a Catholic's vote for Giuliani (as opposed to one of the other candidates, such as Mitt Romney) was motivated by Giuliani's more permissive stance on social issues such as abortion. In contrast, a Catholic who votes for a Democratic candidate despite his/her pro-choice stance is considered to have engaged in "remote material cooperation, which can be permitted in the presence of proportionate reasons."

This website feels disturbingly intrusive, even though whether and in which primaries one has voted may well be public information.

I'd be surprised if whoever makes filtering software for restrictive workplaces doesn't have this URL on the blacklist by now, but for what it's worth, workfriendly.net puts your unapproved internet activity into a purportedly safe-for-work Microsoft Word file. You can even watch YouTube videos embedded in the site you're viewing.
