Don't pick on just the Catholics? What about the evangelicals or Jewish votes?

Obama won the overall religious vote, 52 percent to 46 percent, reversing President George W. Bush’s 51 percent to 48 percent “values voter” victory over Democratic challenger Sen. John Kerry in 2004. Obama also won the Catholic vote, persuaded young evangelical voters to choose him and began to squeeze shut the so-called “God gap” yawning between religious Democrats and Republicans during the Bush era.

How will the roughly 9.1 million evangelical Christians who voted for Obama vote in the next election? Will Obama's actions compel the 31.2 million evangelicals who didn't vote in the 2008 election to vote next time?

Obama Receives 77% of Jewish Vote-- More Than Kerry
White US Catholics move toward GOP, Hispanic Catholics toward Democrats
Among Catholics, Obama job approval rating decreases to 50 percent

One of those evangelicals in 2008 was my brother in law, who got brainwashed with all this Jim Wallis sojourners BS. I hope (and think) he’s since seen the light.

LOL, anything to keep conservatives from learning the truth they need to find a solution to the Catholic vote.

I think the least of our concerns is the Evangelical vote, since they are the most right wing voters in America, and vote conservative at about the rate that Jews vote liberal.

The voting block that we need to find the key to changing, is the Catholic vote.
