Obama Faces Hard Times With Catholic Voters Over Abortion

When Barack Obama won 54 percent of the Catholic vote in the 2008 presidential election, commentators barely noticed that John McCain won a majority of the religiously-active Catholic vote (51 percent to 49 percent). This was a small margin, to be sure, but it doesn't bode well for the 2012 presidential race, after all the worst predictions of Obama's support for abortion became reality.

The premise is pure fantasy. ‘Catholic’ voters elected this scum and continue to vote democrat despite the overwhelming fatcs tghat the criminal enterprise aprty has used the slaughter of alive unborn as a major empowerment issue for them for decades!

A lot of Catholics were anti-Bush, and by extension anti-McCain, because of the thread of pacifism which runs though much of the Church.

The war will not be an issue in 2012.

Is this article talking about real Catholics who are true to the teachings of Christ regarding the murder of the unborn, or is the article talking about the flaming liberals who wear the “Catholic” label so that they can have a veneer of “religiousness” to them?

“It” didn’t bother the Catholics before. In fact, lots and lots of Red Flags with this guy didn’t bother them before, either.

You voted for this jack@ss, now suck it up.

Would that it were so. Unfortunately, most “Catholics” in this country were never properly catechized and have only a tenuous grasp of or concern for the moral teachings of the Church.

They may not like his pro-abort stance, but he’ll make it all up on the “social justice” side.

The previous, obviously.

This Catholic did not, and never could vote for 0bama or any pro-abort politician. Never.

The only church -going Catholics that Obama has a chance of winning are the bishops,priests and nuns.

Not in my parish.

My priest has told me personally that although he isnot sure Obama is a Muslim, he does think he is one culturally.

This protestant won't either - just thought I would chime in.
