Where are your polls from conservative sources that prove Dan wrong?
We’re still waiting to see them.
Prove to us that the majority of Catholics don;’t vote liberal and haven’t done so for decades.
Give us something FAR MORE substantial than your opinion and juvenile attempts at insults.
I was a Democrat when I was a catholic too. It was Jimmy Carter who motivated me to get out. I also think Jimmy Carter is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Note that the argument is not that the majority of Catholics necessarily always vote liberal, but that they overall consistently do, like as the findings of this article, or as a near majority, but i did not go back further than maybe about the year 2000.
