"White" Catholics have slowly been voting a little more Republican (52% voted rep in 2008, while 48% of Hispanic Protestants voted rep. In 2004, white Catholics and Hispanic Protestants both supported Bush by 56%), but Catholic immigration will more than make up for that. I think that we are in a period of the best that it is going to get for the Catholic vote, unless we come up with some dramatic strategy to make Catholic Hispanics conservative.
Obama got 54% of the Catholic vote, that isn't due to Catholics not knowing what they are voting for, they do know and Republicans at this point do not look likely to be winning more of their votes as time passes. In twenty years it will be worse, not better. We need some earth shattering way to change that future, and conservative Catholics need to figure something out, putting their heads in the sand and fighting to keep the truth from being known is not a winning strategy.
Look at that California, 2004 vote breakdown in post 41, we don't want all of America becoming like California.
“... unless we come up with some dramatic strategy to make Catholic Hispanics conservative.”
That bigotry just keeps pouring out. Sad.
**we don’t want all of America becoming like California.**
To me this is a strange statement.
Catholics are against:
abortion,
contraception,
same-sex marriage,
embryonic stem cell research,
euthanasia,
and for the Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
What is your beef with the Catholic Church, please, really, down deep?
