It’s always our fault.
Yep it is always our fault, nevermind that Obama couldn’t have won without the Protestant vote.
I’m going to avoid FR for awhile. I’ve had enough of this bashing by people so blinded by anti-Catholic bigotry that they cannot be reasoned with.
Yes, but the numbers show that it is one’s minority status that was most likely to sway how one voted.
White Catholics voted for Obama by a far less percentage than did Hispanic Catholics.
Black Protestants voted for Obama in a far larger percentage than white protestants.
In point of fact, according to Pew, those were two categories of voters that increased in 2012 over 2008. Third was other religious affiliations which most likely included Muslims since they were not given their own category.
The point is that Catholicism was unlikely to influence the votes of minorities.
Also, low income voters went for Obama over Romney.
These voters, the ones who gave Obama the victory voted for their own interests without thought of religion. Their vote was based solely on the candidate that they believed would most likely keep the gravy train rolling.
But, the people need a bogie man and they have always found Catholics to be handy.
