Well, it’s clear that when the evangelicals do vote, they vote strongly for conservatives. I realize that Free Republic is a conservative Catholic site, but maybe the bigger question is “What are the numbers for Catholic voters?”
See post #29...
Because of the Hispanic vote for Obama (71-27%), latino Catholics shifted the overall Catholic vote...White Catholics voted Romney 59-40%...overall Catholic vote was 50-48% Obama...
But it appears white Catholics dropped their turnout by about 2 million voters...
I don't believe that FR is a conservative Catholic site. I don't recall that any denominational affiliation has ever been given. Intentionally so, if my guess is right.
Pinging JR just to clear it up.
I'm very proud and thankful for every Catholic FReeper who voted in agreement with Free Republic's brand of conservatism in the voting booth last Tuesday. But that's a far cry from saying that FR is a "conservative Catholic site." The "social teaching" aspect of Catholic doctrine diverges from FR on a number of aspects.
6 out of 10 White Catholics voted for Romney...75% of Mexican Catholics voted for Obama...
We definitely have some educating to do with our fellow Hispanics.
