NEW YORK, USA, November 4 (CNA) - Results show that 52% of Catholics in the United States voted to re-elect President Bush over Sen. Kerry in Tuesday's elections. 47% of Catholics voted for Kerry. On their website, Priests for Life reported that Catholics represented 27% of all voters in this year's presidential election, meaning that 31,065,769 voters were Catholics. Among Catholics who attend Mass weekly Bush won by 56% - 43%.
In two of the swing states, Florida and Ohio, the margin of Bush's win among Catholics was even greater. In Florida, Bush received 57% of the vote to Kerry's 42% and in Ohio the split was 55% to 44%.
In both these states, 66% of Catholics who attend Mass weekly voted for Bush.
According to Priest for Life, "the President's agenda of respect for human life, the sanctity of marriage, and a more hopeful America have resonated with Catholic voters."
We did good!!
That this is "news" at all is truly sad. Can you imagine a headline, "President Bush won the Evangelical Vote"?
I can't, either. "The Sky is Blue!" should be as newsworthy.
If this were the case nationwide, the Democrats would never win another election.
It's disgusting ... that 48% of Catholic would vote for Abortionist Kerry.
BUMP
Pay attention, Senator Frist, as you broach the Specter... um... problem.
Lump us Catholics in with the rest of the Christian vote that went with Bush. I want some Lib to tell me how stupid I am.
Bang! Zoom!
