Catholics don’t like Santorum, even in 2006 when Santorum was being dumped from office, he received 42% of the white Catholic vote, and 71% of the white Evangelical vote.

Hmmm... I wonder what the reason is. Why do people who supposedly share Santorum’s faith NOT vote for him, while those who share it peripherally do?

Despite what the Catholic church says, Catholic voters are far less socially conservative than Evangelicals.

In 2008, 54% of Catholics voted for Obama. With an increasing percentage of American Catholics being Hispanic, I’d expect Hussein to get a majority of the Catholic vote yet again.

Santorum has some baggage that the Catholics I know are having an issue with. He needs to come clean and explain otherwise it will continue to detract some catholics from supporting him.

“Don't lecture me until”

Its on the web to be seen in many place.

Misleading since Santorum’s voters are split with Newt. They could do the same hit piece on Newt but when you combine the anti-Romneys, I bet it’s a different story.

Santorum was endorsed by an Evangelical group, and I’d suspect that most of his voters are among that group, who are well-intentioned but too trusting.

Catholics, even very conservative ones, don’t seem to like him that much. For one thing, every parish has somebody like him: the scornful, prissy “homeschooling dad” who looks down on everybody around him and keeps his family under some wierd control (ever seen a picture of him and all of his slope-shouldered sons in their matching sweater vests???).

It’s got to be his invisible wife who does the actual homeschooling, btw, even though he stole the services from the State of Pennsylvania and got them to pay a $50,000 fine on his behalf.

And if he’s such a great Catholic, why aren’t his kids going to Catholic school instead of getting the State of PA curriculum?

Sorry, but I’m a very conservative Catholic, and I think he’s just an ambitious hypocrite with a vicious streak.
