What people who sat out both 2008 and 2012 claim to believe doesn't matter. They don't vote so they're not a "voting block".

They're like gorillas making loud displays to one another on the Internet to show each other how tough they are. In reality, they're so timid that being "snubbed" hurt their little feelers and frightened them into staying home in both 2008 and even more so after four years of seeing exactly what sort of damage Barry can do.

If religious conservatives cared 1/10 as much as they claim to they would have become the most powerful faction within the GOP a long time ago. They'd have all but taken it over precinct by precinct, and State by State. The fascist democrats can count on them staying home and not voting because they know this imaginary "voting block" will accept any excuse the fascist machine spreads. Look at the voting numbers, they didn't show up at the polls so for all intents and purposes they don't exist.

The nation is on fire and the religious conservatives are for the most part playing their fiddles and singing about how well they walk on water.

"They don't vote so they're not a "voting block"."

Leaving aside the CINO argument, the problem is that the Catholics are not a cohesive block because coinservatism has been defined so as to clash with much of Catholic doctrine. We Catholics have effectively allowed the American political system to divide the Church against itself. Although the Democratic Party has increasingly aligned itself with positions that are in direct conflict with Catholic teaching, the Republican Party does not represent a strong moral alternative. Even when they can muster an actual Conservative candidate the Republican party stands only timidly for life and the traditional family while demonizing social justice and the plight of the poor, the immigrants and various other sinners. The Democrat Party preaches social justice and anti-poverty while bathed in the blood of the unborn and benefiting from the demise of the family. Neither party offered a clear choice except between the speed with which we pursue our demise as the shining city on the hill. And both parties presented significant dilemmas to Catholic voters. We got the government we deserve, may God have mercy on us.

Peace be with you
