Yet another wasted post about nothing.

Talk about wasted posts, yours are as tiresome as they get. We understand your message: anyone who tells a pollster they're "Catholic" and votes Democrat proves that Catholics are EEVILL and don't vote for the party of sweetness, purity, and light. You've successfully communicated that, and also communicated to any fence-sitting Catholic lurkers that they aren't wanted in the conservative movement.

You're also ignoring:

  1. Many of those self-identified "Catholics" don't listen to the church on any topic, so why would you conclude that the church has any relationship to how they vote? Put another way, if their "Catholicism" doesn't inform what they do on Sunday morning, it won't inform what they do in the voting booth.
  2. The GOP has not always been reliably pro-life (Google "Rockefeller commission" and "NSSM 200")
  3. The GOP has not always been reliably conservative (and still isn't)
  4. In both the Smith-Coolidge and Kennedy-Nixon campaigns, the GOP was not above using anti-Catholic fearmongering to their advantage. Happily, we've moved on from that, except for a few FR posters.
Are you planning on just recycling the same tired talking points after the election, even though Zero will probably lose even the self-identified "Catholic" vote this time?
