You miss his point.

The Catholic Church, for example, tends to sympathize with the Democrats because of economic policy, and policy for the poor. The one thing that has kept many Catholics voting GOP in spite of this are Life issues (the idea to many that it is a "sin" to vote for Pro-Choice candidates), and family issues.

Rudy takes those issues out of the equation, leaving what sympathies that these folks still have on the table all favoring the Democrats.

And many others, who simply vote GOP out of moral/social/cultural issues in spite of their economic and education views (Lots more money for education - there's never enough!), will suddenly find very attractive the democratic candidate who will promise them an endless list of "free" stuff.

I'm a Catholic and as far as I'm concerned it is a serious sin to vote for pro abortion candidates...even if both candidates are pro-abortion. Rudy will never get my vote.
