Yes, you read that title correctly.
In total Obama received more support from religious groups than did Romney, but there are some rather surprising totals in the individual listings. First of all, you have the Catholic vote. As we all know there was a huge issue this year when the Supreme Court ruled on ObamaCare because of the mandate that violated the religious freedom of the Catholic Church. It is against the Catholic teaching to use contraceptives or have an abortion, and within this bill is a mandate forcing Catholic institutions to provide contraceptives and abortificient drugs, within their insurance, to their employees. This was a huge deal, AND YET 50% of the Catholic vote went to him?
Then we have the Jewish vote. This is even more surprising because Obama has made it clear in no uncertain terms that his support is with Muslims. You know, the people who hate Jews and want to kill them where ever they find them.
So why then does he receive a whooping 69% of the Jewish vote?
And need I point out the disproportionate amount of black Christians voting for Obama? Need we go there?
This is unacceptable. Before America can have a revolution, the Church must have a revival. This country was founded on Christianity and yet Christians have failed this country in many ways.
This man? This is the man you vote you for? This man who says this is no longer a Christian nation? This man who looks down his nose at people who cling to their guns and bibles? This is you want to rule over you? A man that is disgusted by your faith and works hard at eradicating it completely from the public?
Wake up Church! Wake up Christians! Wake the hell up!

I thought of that and modified my tagline.

..And look who the OTHER candidate was!
I, too, wish the clergy would excommunicate Pelosi et al. However, the point of my post only was to rebut the idea that at least half of whom polls identify as “Catholic†are so far from practicing that it as if I, a practicing Catholic, were to identify myself as Jewish because I eat kosher hot dog and once went to synagogue with a friend on Shabbat.
According to the statistical table most White Catholics vote like White Protestants. White Evangelicals balance out Black Protestants to bring up the percentage of Republican votes by Protestants. White Catholics don't vote as overwhelmingly Republican, so they don't offset Hispanic Catholics votes for the Democrats in the same way. But what I take away from the chart is that Protestant and Catholic voting isn't so different when race or color (or whatever you want to call it) isn't a factor.
I voted for every CONSERVATIVE on the ballot. Take that however you want.
Take that however YOU want.
So do 'hispanic' Catholics get taught a different social justice than the 'whites'? Now I have a flu bug and am not feeling peppy, but this hair splitting and excuse making just does not float. Joe Biden is a Catholic, regardless of what the lay people claim. How about that so called conservative democrat Bart Stupak, where does he fit in the excuse making. Realville is here and the numbers tell the story. You cannot honestly claim that 50% of Catholics that voted for Obama are 'hispanics' or part time church goers. And there is nothing 'hispanic' about Joe or Bart or Nancy, Roberts, I could go on and on naming non-hispanic elected liberal democrats. I also see the 'big boys' in the hierarchy of the Catholic religion supping and back slapping with the liberals more than I ever see them standing on any kind of 'religious' let alone faithful foundation. The alsmith dinner showed what fun it is to hang with the liberal crowd.
This election demonstrates by the numbers that American Catholics in majority are LIBERAL!
Akin didn't think it a minor issue - the MSM exploded over it and the GOP withdrew all financing of his campaign - he received a lot of pressure to withdraw. At any rate, both senate candidates lost and we really could have used those seats. In WI, where the other clown was from (Donnally I think his name is), the state assembly and senate was returned to all GOP majorities giving Walker free reign again.
Single women are afraid Roe will be overturned by a GOP POTUS via SCOTUS appointments -- it should be moved to the states like many other things to shrink the fed govt.
Overturning Roe v. Wade would help accomplish just that. Feds say it's legal, period. States declaring it illegal wouldn't have a leg to stand on in follow-on challenges.
These all should be moved to the states. Look at CA and the northeast where Obama had big majorities — they are almost insolvent from gimmee programs and high taxes. Federal spending has to shrink, too or it will also be insolvent and money not worth anything.
It’s funny, here in Kansas, there is a huge push against abortion - to regulate it and eventually ban it. I know young women in my community feel that having children is the joy of their lives. I’d be shocked if any would choose to abort - we have wonderful foster care programs and truly, every life is valued. There are no homeless — everyone has friends to stay with. I can’t imagine anyone here selfish enough to have an abortion in my community.
