This 3:00 exchange between Julie and Thom Hartmann, [a liberal radio talk show host] typifies how the Left is shocked about this and how they explain it. "Julie" uses Scott Walker's success to frame her question and make her points about voters [politics, guns, poverty, abortion, the church]. Of course Fox News and ignorance is tossed in - as is letting the listeners know that she's a UW-M graduate.

” .... versus 39 percent who favor the Democrats ... “

That would mean that 39% are morally dead or brain dead.

[Steely Tom]

The Democrats can overcome this simply by turning the illegal immigration spigot.

[ZULU]

I they didn’t turn 2012 they never wilL.

White Catholics are wrecking the plans of Bernardin, Wuerl, Dolan, O’Malley, Gomez, Cupich, DiNardo, etc., etc.

The bishops (the loud-mouthed ones) have been trying to destroy the pro-life movement for forty-plus years, with their “Seamless Garment,” etc. Their only hope is Hispanics, who vote overwhelmingly pro-abortion.

But neither of these trends explains why white Catholics have abandoned the Democratic Party so suddenly and so dramatically.

They aren't following the Rats - they're following Hillary.

And as Hillary is going down, they're jumping ship.

I’m Catholic and I have NEVER voted for ANY Demonic-Rat.

Because practicing Catholics who vote democrat are blue collar union democrats or JFK-type democrats.

The democrat party AND the republican party have shifted left. The Obama administration has displayed strong favoritism towards being "green" - at the expense of union jobs (XL pipeline is an example). And JFK would fit right in the Republican party today.

Catholic attitudes haven't changed...the two major parties have.

“But neither of these trends explains why white Catholics have abandoned the Democratic Party so suddenly and so dramatically.”

Progressive/liberal values may have something to do with it.

[who knows what evil?]

Catholics in Red England are going to start voting for Republicans??? ROTFLMAOPIMP!!!

[Graybeard58]

I’ve never understood why Catholics or for that matter any other Christian denomination could or would vote for democrats and their murderous platform, antithetical to the very core of their beliefs.

[Montana_Sam]

The ignorance of the caller in the Thom Hartmann call (at the link you provided) is typical of the materialistic mindset of progressives. Hartmann himself seems to be a low-information voter. And neither he nor his caller seem embarrassed about their superficial analysis. Good grief!

[sten]

someone explain to me how you can claim to be Christian yet support the killing of unborn children

it’s just incompatible

[lentulusgracchus]

I don’t understand your last sentence in Post #1 ..... who is Julie? I don’t understand.

The shift in the Catholic vote should really be a wakeup call to the Democrats,” says Krueger. “White Catholics are 18 percent of the electorate and Catholics vote 1 to 2 percentage points above their representation in the overall population. This is a significant voting bloc that now perceives Republicans as being more welcoming to people of faith.”

White Catholics will now be introduced to the whipping post by the MSM Lions.

Of course, the MSM are now going to be taking on people who were taught about subligation, decapitation, noxii ad bestias, and immolation 18 centuries before anyone ever heard of George Bernard Shaw, Fabians, fascism, or epiphenomenal materialism.
