Swing? Catholic voters supported the free Birth control more than most. The only way you can claim different is define only those Catholics who opposed it as REAL Catholics and then its such a tiny % its irrelevant.
Hispanics are a great example. They didnt vote for Obama because they were mad they were getting free contraceptives.
With all the hundreds and hundreds of things in Obama-care, picking the absolutely most positive handout in it and deciding that's your issue to highlight oppose is just dumb, or just a wish to lose which may be the case.
When you form the triangle with 3 corners together : ‘anti-abortion-anti-birth control-anti-welfare spending’ its pretty much a death wish.
At some point actually stopping things you hate (like losing marriage to gays) from happening needs to take priority over making voters made at you.
I have met more than a few Catholics in Maryland who go to mass on Sunday, forget about birth control for a second, they lecture me on how they hate Republicans because they oppose abortion and gay marriage. Catholics are social liberals here in this Blue state.
The idea that Catholics would come out in mass and swing the vote for the GOP for opposing the free BC mandate (which they argue is reducing abortions) when the Catholic Church is trashing the GOP for positions on welfare stuff is ..... you know what I am getting at,.
I cant even date Catholic wimmin here as they are too liberal. Same sex marriage makes me ill to think about as does abortion.
With all the hundreds and hundreds of things in Obama-care, picking the absolutely most positive popular handout in it and deciding that’s your election issue to highlight to oppose is just dumb, or just a wish to lose which may be the case.
