Unfortunately, many American Catholics are hard-wired to vote Democrat. A case in point: tonight I drove past the house of a very friendly Irish-Catholic family I know. Four years ago, they displayed a Kerry sign on their lawn. I was hoping that this year they have seen the light. No such luck. There were three Obama/Biden signs on their lawn. Two were strategically placed on the far corners of their rather narrow frontage to make it appear as if there were three pro-Obama households in a row. This is the same family that helped run the principal of their parish school out of town because she was not “Catholic” enough. I think “Catholic” must be a code word for Dem.
I am Catholic but have never been predisposed toward the Democrat party. Maybe it is because both of my grandfathers were converts - - one in early adulthood, the other on his deathbed. Maybe no coincidence that Larry Kudlow, Robert Novak and Laura Ingraham are converts.
“Unfortunately, many American Catholics are hard-wired to vote Democrat.”
It is just like being a suicide bomber.
I’ve been carefully monitoring yard signs in my neighborhood. I still can’t get over the “Notre Dame” house where both parents attended ND and sent all 3 kids there. Active, church-going Roman Catholic. Never had a yard sign up before this year ... helluva candidate to decide to go with, given their backgrounds.
