Interesting that the Republican party nominates a man who is not a conservative, not pro-life, favors gun control, socialized medicine and "gay marriage" ... 4 million evangelicals don't even bother to show up to vote, 47% -- almost half -- of self-identified Catholics, who are only 1/4 of the population to begin with, vote for him, while a majority of Catholics who practice their faith regularly do ...

But here on FR, it's still the Catholics' fault he lost.

To be consistent and equitable, you would have to compare the percentage of Catholics who stayed home also, and weekly Catholics with weekly evangelicals.

But it is incredibly that one group can vote 79% for Romney - which even weekly Catholics did not match - and get the blame for the loss, when if they had voted like most Catholics them it would not have even been close.

And here on FR, there were many attempts to blame the most conservative group, because a small percentage of them were not committed enough to counteract the Catholic liberals and others.

But you can blame evangelical and conservative use of contraception (though liberal Catholic use if also very high) , as demographics changed much.
