This 3:00 exchange between Julie and Thom Hartmann, [a liberal radio talk show host] typifies how the Left is shocked about this and how they explain it. "Julie" uses Scott Walker's success to frame her question and make her points about voters [politics, guns, poverty, abortion, the church]. Of course Fox News and ignorance is tossed in - as is letting the listeners know that she's a UW-M graduate.

” .... versus 39 percent who favor the Democrats ... “

That would mean that 39% are morally dead or brain dead.

The Democrats can overcome this simply by turning the illegal immigration spigot.

They’re working with thin margins and they can’t afford to lose more.

He mentions Hispanic Catholics (Isn’t everything the Left does predicated on diversity and how to manipulate division?).

What will be more important?

One’s soul is a terrible thing to waste

It's a successful tactic.

Democrats have preached the “Green Church of Climate Change” doctrine for the last 2 generations - every aspect of our lives is touched by their teachings.

I ask — Where is the separation of Church and State!?

The Left has actively PROMOTED their Mother Earth religion in our classrooms, on the Hill, from the White House. We’ve been told that their religion is true. It’s instilled in our youth that non-believing holds such dire consequence for their future (the world’s very existence), that “deniers” must no longer have a voice in the matter - that there is no longer a debate. Non believers must be ridiculed and shunned.

I ask, why hasn’t the Green Church” been banned from our classrooms?

Climate has become a state supported religion.

White Catholics are wrecking the plans of Bernardin, Wuerl, Dolan, O’Malley, Gomez, Cupich, DiNardo, etc., etc.

The bishops (the loud-mouthed ones) have been trying to destroy the pro-life movement for forty-plus years, with their “Seamless Garment,” etc. Their only hope is Hispanics, who vote overwhelmingly pro-abortion.

But neither of these trends explains why white Catholics have abandoned the Democratic Party so suddenly and so dramatically.

They aren't following the Rats - they're following Hillary.

And as Hillary is going down, they're jumping ship.

Because practicing Catholics who vote democrat are blue collar union democrats or JFK-type democrats.

The democrat party AND the republican party have shifted left. The Obama administration has displayed strong favoritism towards being "green" - at the expense of union jobs (XL pipeline is an example). And JFK would fit right in the Republican party today.

Catholic attitudes haven't changed...the two major parties have.

Progressive/liberal values may have something to do with it.

That can't be it.

They don't like the changes we've made because now they're stupid!

The tone of this whole article reminds me of a joke my uncle once pulled on me.

He said "I'm going to have to put this dog to sleep. It's turned mean. Every time I kick it, it tries to bite me!"

The Latinos I know are appalled when you tell them that demonRATS are pro-abortion and pro-gay. Some of them outright refuse to believe it.

Latinos are pro-immigration and pro-welfare, and have overall socialistic tendencies. This is why they vote demonRAT. They are very anti-abortion and anti-gay-agenda.

We need to stir up their cognitive dissonance in this matter and compel them to choose their eternal souls or their layabout amigos.
