OK, here's the 2008 election figures I got from a well-known "reading news feeds, making eyes bleed" FReeper election bean-counter:

55% McCain, 43% Obama - Weekly mass-attending Catholics 6,9

54% McCain, 44% Obama - Weekly church-goers1,4,7

The footnotes are as follows:

1 The Awesome Blue God -- How Obama Forged A New Faith Coalition
4 Obama: Bringing (Some) Evangelicals In
6 What's wrong with Catholic voters? What's wrong with Catholics?
7 Evangelical Voters Favor McCain by Wide Margins
9 What Happened to the Catholic Vote?

We see that among weekly-Mass-attending Catholics AND weekly-church-attgoers in general, the numbers tilted against Obama. Figures exclude Jews, Muslims, and other non-Christian faith groups.

Am I delighted by the Catholics' performance here? Obviously not. Not delighted with the Evangelicals and othe believers, either. The whole lot should have been overwhelmingly anti-Obama.

But my point still stands: let's stop sniping at each other, and start rallying our fellow believers to remove Mr Obama and ALL his allies from office this November.

That'll what I'm doing. I think all FReepers would do well to focus on doing the same.

Members of the Catholic denomination chose Obama by 54%, Evangelicals voted against him by over 70%, there is nothing to fault Evangelicals for, they should be praised and studied.

The total collection of all the non-Catholic Christians collectively voted 54% against him.

Even Hispanic Protestants only went for Obama by 52%, something is clearly going on.
