"My referenced stats were presented as a comparison of evangelicals with Catholics..."

You can only get away with these errant presentations in an opinion forum. In any scientific environment these logical fallacies would never stand up to peer or competitive review and analysis. The premise that Catholics are somehow responsible for the current administration is a joke. You need to be clear before making a conclusion The statistics simply do not prove your assertion unless one really, really wants them to. You, my FRiend are far too careless with your conclusions.

Despite your misapprehension on what my argument was, the obvious conclusion is that Catholics are more liberal and vote more democratic than evangelicals, and still favor Obama more than they, which was my argument, and thus the focus of my verifiable stats from sources engaged in professional analysis, not that Catholics alone are responsible for the current administration, which was not my premise (though with 54% voting for Obama, and only 45% voting for the alternative, then they and Protestants share the bulk of responsibility, no matter how many stood by and did neither).

Thus my post in response to voting began, "The comparison is btwn evangelicals and RC, as percentages." and (to you) “How many Catholics voted is not the pertinent stat, but the percentage and the type of Christian group at issue.”

Meanwhile, it is who provide referenced substantiation for my argument from sources engaged in professional analysis, and while i do not necessarily dispute it, nor again was Protestant versus Catholic my focus, i am still waiting (beside for your apology for past false charges) for the link that explains how Obama got 54% of the Catholic vote and Mcain received 45%, but Obama only received a little more than 33% of the “actual Catholic vote” with an equal number of Catholics voting for “none of the above,” and how that compares with the “actual Protestant vote,” which would be interesting.
