By all means they align with Republican values. The only things keeping them away was the supposed “care” offered by the Dims and the supposed “anti-” image of the GOP. The latter has been smashed and the former has been shown for a farce. Just like in Canada, their vote is now on the GOP’s side and will be that way for a while. Thanks to Obambi!
Clearly they don't, we have more than a hundred years of history on this, Catholics are voting for the party and the issues that they support.
We have to figure out some way to seduce them into voting Republican, without becoming so moderate that we become Democrats ourselves, we will never make true right wingers out of the Catholic vote.
