Like I said there is no such thing as the “Catholic vote”,
irregardless to what you think.

Even with the number of “catholics” voting for democrats, the number that vote for conservatives dwarf Southern Baptists are any other of the alphabet soup protestant denominations.
Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton twice, and Obamagabe twice, all so called protestant democrats, won because protestant voters voted for them. Protestants put them in the White House. There are more protestants than there are Catholics in the United States. If you capture the protestant vote you don’t win.

Hmmm, that almost sounds like anger.

I was merely pointing out the predictability of the “Catholic vote”. Not as predictable as the Protestant vote which has only gone democrat 3 times 1932, 1936, and 1964, but still predictable.

If I read your post right, you're saying that there are more Catholics who vote conservative than there are Protestants who vote conservative? If you're right, I'd like to hear your reaction to this Catholic-authored thread:
Evangelicals plunge America into darkness – mislead polls and stay home on Election Day
