I wonder if Obama can risk losing the Catholic vote?...
...he doesn’t have to worry, the 53% Catholics who voted for him are hard core ideologues who would buck the church in a second in order to pursue left wing visions...their premise is that it’s uninformed to be single issue voters...
I don’t believe that, I think that if Americans that are Catholic start pushing for the church in America to become more conservative that it will move enough moderate Catholics so that the Catholic vote could be brought closer to the Protestant vote.
Protestants Hispanics are about 50/50 republican having voted 56% for Bush in 2004 and 52% Obama in 2008, Catholic Hispanics voted 79% for Obama, and 79% for Kerry. American Catholics can look into those two camps and find a pathway to converting their fellow Catholics to voting against the Gay/abortion party that they are currently supporting.
The main thing that they need to do is start looking behind the Catholic curtain and figure out why nothing changes.
