***RC’s traditionally have been more Democrat than Republican. I believe they began voting with the conservatives because of social issues.***
In the 1800s, Catholic immigrants were militantly opposed by Protestant Republicans, so therefore they went Democratic. The social issues gradually forced Catholics to the right.
I am appalled at the way that Republican politics has gone. And shoveled so much of the vote to McCain.
I, too, am appalled at the way republican politics has gone. They’ve become democrat lite, and I’m convinced McCain is being shoved down our throats because they think he’s got integrity and can beat Hill or Obama. I’m not sure if there’s a deeper motive in all this, but the media is sure in on it. Sigh.
