* In 2006 Schumer and Emanuel engineered the House and Senate Takeover.
* Schumer noted in an interview, that they went from PA west and picked off districts all the way to IL ( and beyond)
* I found a map on the web (Wish I kept it), of these districts by religion.
* Many they picked off, the highest percentage were Catholic.
* Many were probably tired of "Bushes Wars" and may have been of the liberation theology wing of the church.
Fast forward to Obamacare and a small group of Nuns ( not really a voice of the church ) who gave their go ahead to Obamacare. Also at the time, I could smell it that it was a done deal and the Church needed the Stupak exemption to keep their Hospitals running. Well it looks like the Obamaton's didn't keep their words now did they..
However, now we have two Catholics running, Santorum and Mr. Newt, both Pro Life.
At this point, many Catholics, their kids and grand kids are hurting and can't find work. They know in their gut something is wrong with this guy and the country.
FWIW, I feel many of my Catholic friends are reasonable people. But what "he" has done to our country is unreasonable in fact might remind them of the horrors of Communism they learned in Catechism, it defies common sense and they finally see it.
Let hope they feel it in their heart when they go in the voting booth and vote like they did in Macomb County Michigan for Reagan, home of the Reagan Democrats, many who were Catholic. Let us hope lightning strikes twice..

“If I’ve lost Cronkite, I’ve lost middle America.”
Are the CNS staff still unaware that Cronkite was a traitor?
“I won’t discuss politics with my Catholic inlaws. Their politics comes right down from the pulpit, liberal to the core. But hey I also have ‘protestant’ relatives/inlaws, that are just as liberal wearing those WWJD bracelets. Right now it is the ‘mean’ bad Congress that is stopping progress. Deception is hip deep in many Christian churches.”
I live in New Hampshire and it is utterly hopeless. I’m in much same situation with prot split-offs through the family of otherwise lib ‘catholics’ and the ones who are put off altogether I’d venture by anything approaching organized religion.... though I haven’t seen the WWJD bracelet, not that I’m looking, but I’m astounded how the prots have slowly gone liberal. The pentecostal/evangelicals are around here are like mercury trying to give straight answers even though they might (I mean might) vote repub. Incredible softies on ‘the needy’. Of course once they experience ‘the tongues’ whatever they do is just duckie.
I don’t think I’ve heard in a dog’s age the old adage: “the road to hell is paved with good intentions”.
