Obama Faces Hard Times With Catholic Voters Over Abortion
When Barack Obama won 54 percent of the Catholic vote in the 2008 presidential election, commentators barely noticed that John McCain won a majority of the religiously-active Catholic vote (51 percent to 49 percent). This was a small margin, to be sure, but it doesn't bode well for the 2012 presidential race, after all the worst predictions of Obama's support for abortion became reality.

One zillion percent disagree (respectfully of course). As the Roman Catholic Clergy righteously rails against abortion, they continue to support Democratic Candidates because of spending on social programs. My Dad asked his Priest in the 1990's why he supported Clinton with his abortion stand and basically, his other position on helping the poor was better. Then in 2008 as Obama's radical view on abortion came to light, the St. Louis Diocese came out with a position for church members that said (paraphrasing) you could vote for an abortion candidate if other issues of social matters were more important to you (i.e., social programs) So there you have it, the babies get thrown under the bus by a twisted concept of the clergy's definition of Social Justice.
I guarantee you every Catholic on this site did not vote for Obama. I am one of those REAL Catholics. I know every religion has two sets. One true believer and try to do the best they can and one set that is just Catholic in name only and MAYBE goes to church on Christmas and Easter (MAYBE). Please don’t sweep all of us under the murder of babies sign.
Protestants put Obama in office. Most Americans are Protestants. More voted for him than against him.

“Feeling good about yourself” uber alles.
I’m curious, have you asked, or have you determined, whether the “liberal Catholics” you know believe in the exclusivity of Christianity?

This protestant won’t either - just thought I would chime in.
You are so welcomed FRiend.

I believe that many liberal Catholics I know believe in themselves only. IF they go to Mass, it is for the social aspect of it. You see that all the time. But there are very good Catholics in this World and God Bless them for it. Each Religion has their folks that are fake.
I know many liberals who claim to be “Christians”, but once you investigate their belief systems, they are usually New Age Humanists. This is what you describe as “believe in themselves only”, as in “you will be as gods”.
I was just curious as to your experience in the Catholic church.
DING DING DING !!! WE'VE GOT A WINNER !!!
Obama has not changed his stance on abortion. He argued on the Illinois Senate floor that babies already born live outside their mothers's womb should be promptly killed if the intent of the mother was to abort them. And they're telling me that 49% of actively practicing Catholics voted for this monster?
You are correct in the total votes cast. But last I checked, Nanny the Red Pelosi and that one sainted old now dead lion of the senate, who anointed the 'one' coming in the spirit of his dead brother are not protesters. Now I am not sure Harry real estate Reid would be considered a protester. Now are the majority of the 'supremes' protestants???
The bishops spoke out fairly strongly on the right to life in 2008, but did not make a special point of saying that Obama was strongly abortionist.
But the real failing was McCain’s. He was pro-life, but not terribly strongly. And he completely failed to tackle Obama on this issue. I think he mentioned it once, very briefly, during the debates.
So probably a lot of people simply didn’t know about Obama’s dismal record. Obama made himself pretty clear to selective audiences, such as NARAL and Planned Parenthood, but the MSM ensured that word of his position did not escape to the general public.
Obama voted three times to kill babies who are born alive. And the hospital that was a subsidiary of Rev. Wright’s church notoriously threw live babies into the trash, and in one case onto a hot roof, to die. But few people knew about that, and McCain made no effort to let them know.
but they’ll vote for a good-ol’ boy doofus like Bob Casey because he spouts the Union line, delivers pork and runs around saying profound things like “I’m for Jobs!”???
Not to mention decade after decade of Teddy Kennedy.
You could make a stronger prima facia case for Catholics
voting against Obama because he is black.
And I would almost accept that guarantee, excpet we have obamanoid operatives working FR who claim to be Catholic. The clue is when one finds a person claiming to be a Christian but is not at least very conflicted over the abortion issue as a political football kicked back and forth by both parties, but ridden to empowerment level by the democrats such a supposed Christian votes for regardless.
“Protestants put Obama in office. Most Americans are Protestants. More voted for him than against him.”
Well put; the Catholic hierarchy has a lot to answer for in terms of how Catholics vote (though not to anyone on this site), but in the end Catholics aren’t nearly enough to deliver the office to this clown. Also, at least the Catholic vote is split; we’re not all with O’s program.
That’s why they need 40 million illegal aliens.
Protestants put Obama in office. That was my point. The fact that there are Catholics just as stupid as those Protestants doesn’t change or effect my point.
