If you want an honest opinion I want an honest premise. I know we have been over this ad naseum, but only half of self identified Catholics actually vote and of those slightly more than half vote Democrat. The GOP will not have any more success with those who have abandoned Catholic teachings than the Church has, but there are a vast number who cannot stomach voting for either party. Try to win those.
If you are the face of the GOP it gives me another reason to not vote GOP. Continually telling us how screwed up we all are because of the actions of a few is as honest as me telling you that all Republicans are screwed up because of the record of Olympia Snow and Chris Christie.
And while you are at it why don't you harp on the vast number of evangelicals and fringe protestants who prowl these threads who refused to vote for Romney because he was a Mormon.
See post 38, the fact that the members of the Catholic denomination vote as a majority for democrats is a real problem, much less of a problem than the 80% of the Evangelicals who voted against Obama.
An increase in Evangelical numbers means the country moves right, an increase in the number of Catholic voters, means the country moves left, so ‘prowling’ Evangelicals are hardly the problem.
The vote man, the vote determines whether the left or right prevails, when we know that bad news is being reported, as in this article, then it saddens us, it is not a time to rejoice in how wonderful it is that the left is gaining voters.
