>> But not a Presidential election when everyone shows up and votes for the national party. <<

Ah, you mean like 2004 where a majority of Catholics voted for protestant George W. Bush instead of "fellow Catholic" John Kerry. Must have been a "historical exception"

LOL, wow, 2004, when the Catholic vote went 52% for Bush as the incumbent after voting for Al Gore in 2000 previously Bill Clinton and then following it with voting for Obama in 2008 and 2012.

Yes it was one of the handful of historical exceptions, let’s all we conservatives rejoice and import tens of millions more such voters.

You guys blow my mind the way you defend democrat voters.

I find it interesting that we are repeatedly hit with propaganda from other freepers that Catholics voting roughly 50% GOP and 50% RAT

They aren't a 50/50 vote and hopefully no one defends the Jewish vote either, since you brought them up, do you defend it?

But we aren't importing Jews and their future democrat voting offspring by the tens of millions.

The left isn't counting on the Jewish vote delivering Texas into their hands.

Nope, you and I don't make that claim, but PLENTY of freepers do make this argument EVERY election cycle and claim Jews are going to magically vote Republican this time if we "stand with Israel" and turn a blind eye to their love of abortion and gay marriage. "God's choosen people", y'know. Need me to ping you to some 2014, 2012, and 2010 threads to refresh your memory?

>> The left isn't counting on the Jewish vote delivering Texas into their hands. <<

No, they're counting on the Jewish vote to put them over the top in areas with large Jewish populations, like Florida and New York. Then we waste money trying to "win" a voting bloc that is one of the most reliable RAT special interest groups, instead of spending it on voters that are actually willing to vote GOP. Obama could probably pledge to wipe Israel off the map and he'd STILL win the "Jewish vote"

Millions of Catholics who vote in U.S. elections aren't "imported", they were born here and have lived here for generations. Or is that your way of admitting the problem isn't with the "Catholic vote" as a whole, but rather, the IMMIGRANT vote? (which IS overwhelmingly RAT, unlike the Catholic vote overall, which is a swing vote no matter how much you lie and pretend Catholics overall are safe Dem)

It is unreasonable for a handful of our Jewish posters to treat discussion of the Jewish vote the way that some of our Catholic freepers do the Catholic vote, as something that can’t be discussed and widely known and that must be attacked and shut down, and even lied about.

Some Catholics here clearly do not want the relationship between the Catholics and the left and it’s connection to immigration, to become general knowledge.

Totally incapable of admitting that he’s wrong. A lot like Obama in that.

They are encouraging chaos and no where in the Bible does God encourage chaos.

I take it The Constitution of the United States wasn’t taught in their schools. So how much are the RCC USA and other Liberal churches going to pay directly out of their churches own pockets for the economic and criminal damage they do? It is not a sin to have an orderly immigration system and Amnesty is not such a system. It’s rewarding an invasion some of it being encouraged by the RCC itself like the Diocese of Nashville’s stunt when they were bussed in a few months ago.

Thanks, I honestly remember reading that many of those coming from Mexico and Latin America were fallen away Catholics or other denominations. I think many may be Catholic as a matter of convenience and if the local Bishops were to stop supporting shameless disregard for immigration laws they would suddenly stop filling the pews (if they do now) and find other church homes.

Republicans are making inroads into the Jewish vote now. Mitt Romney made the strongest Republican showing among Jewish voters since 1980.

The Catholic vote is voting largely along ethnic lines. White Catholics are now voting more Republican than white Protestants outside the South.
