Evangelicals are not Mainline Protestants. We go by the Bible the Bible the Bible and the Bible. We are pro-life and vote OVERWHELMINGLY Republican.

U.S. Catholics vote OVERWHELMINGLY Democrat.

That is a statistical, demographic FACT.

If all U.S. Catholics magically stopped voting tomorrow, the Democrat Party would go out of business.

That is a political statistical FACT.

It is understandably maddening to hear Catholics bloviate about "how bad abortion is" and then go to the polls by the tens of millions and VOTE for the very politicians who make abortion possible.

Practicing Catholics voted 57% for Bush in 2000.

By the way, I guess what you're saying is that "mainline Protestants" aren't the right kind of Protestant, eh? Sort of like CINO's aren't the right kind of Catholic? I guess what you're trying to do is to paint faithful Catholics as guilty for the sins of faithless Catholics, while faithful Protestants get a free pass over the sins of faithless Protestants. Hypocrite.

Lie.

You'll see that in only two years out of eight was the Catholic vote more than 50% for Democrats. Three times the Catholic vote was over 50% for the Republicans. Or are you too stupid to understand what the word 'overwhelmingly' means?

Catholics might have been even more pro-Republican in 2000 if it hadn't been for Bush's hesitation in dissociating himself from anti-Catholic bigots like yourself early in the campaign.

Incidentally, observant Catholics tend to vote more heavily Republican than non-observant ones.
