“which is the opposite of what the whole ‘50% win among Catholics’ would lead one to think. And of course that is what the media went with.”
And it is what many here want you to believe as well. The greatest threat to them is the idea that maybe, just maybe, the Catholic church has it right. I am glad to see that it is starting to funnel down that the Catholic church isn’t the enemy - we are going to need all the prolife Catholics. All of them.
"And it is what many here want you to believe as well."
So true. One thing for sure, one group makes up the largest percentage of finger pointers who obviously don't care nearly as much about turning the country around and bringing their American countrymen to Christ as they care about pointing fingers and sewing divisions among Christians.
That sort of behavior makes you wonder just how many of those constantly pointing fingers are flying a flag of convenience and don't actually believe any of what they claim to be a part of. Either they're just like the democrats they claim to oppose and put their politics ahead of their religion, or their religion is just a convenient excuse to spread divisions among people who are going to have to work together if we're ever going to turn the country around.
If this exit polling is and remains correct after the final vote counting, my electoral vote breakdown count among the general Catholic population in these states is so:
Obama with Catholics: 91 ev
Romney with Catholics: 160 ev
Arizona with Catholics:— a wash (11 ev)
The only thing I can think of is that Cali is affecting the total national % of Catholics, becuase of the huge population and huge % of latin Catholics. I would hazard you can also see this can see this in NM, it was the highest % of Catholics voting for O. according to this at 64%, down from 70% in 2008. And this list doesn’t have La, which went 70% for McCain amongst Catholics in 2008. I would be very interested in Texas, which also has a huge pop., has a high % of latin Catholics, but votes red like a trooper.
If this is legit, then the story of Obama winning the Catholic vote by 50% is probably worthless in regard to how Obama won the electoral college. Not that the 50% number isn’t a great scandal, but if this stuff is real then it gives the complete wrong impression concerning the actual re-election of pres. O. If this is true, then all the ‘Obama wins Catholics by 50%’ stories are also a great scandal, as they lacked information of how Catholics voted by state—which is how we vote.
