Interesting that you found this thread, it’s almost like you followed me to it, like a stalker.
Evangelicals vote close to 80% pro-life conservative, they are the most conservative voters in America, and Evangelical Hispanics can be assumed to be the most conservative Hispanic voters in America.
Your source listed white Protestants, black Protestants, and born again/Evangelicals.
It gave figures of 79%, 73% and 79% for the elections of 2004. 2008. and 2012.
The single church denomination of Catholic, went democrat in all those elections.
But you only assume it, you offer no proof. Got some stats?
My conjecture is more logical. There is a huge difference in voting patterns between White Catholics (59% Romney) and Hispanic Catholics (21% Romney) vote, and there is a huge difference between how White Protestants vote (69% Romney) and Black Protestants vote (5% Romney) your assertion seems completely counter to the available evidence.
You wish to lump all Catholics together, but the statistics don't support you doing that. Catholics have wildly divergent voting based on race, just like Protestants.
If you want to know how someone should vote the first thing you should ask is "what race are they?". If the answer is black they are voting Democratic!! 95% of the time, whether they belong to the Protestant church or the Catholic church.
My claim is that if they are Hispanic they will vote Democratic, pretty overwhelmingly.
In fact the reason that Catholics appear to be more liberal is because they have more Hispanics in the church. If you want more Conservatives you should be opposing more immigration from Mexico and Latin America, regardless of the religion of those moving here.
It turns out religion, without race, isn't a very good predictor of voting.
Here is a good article from American Thinker today on the problems with Hispanic migration: Benedict Obama's Invasion of America
