**60% of Roman Catholics**

I read somewhere that this number was only 48% — Still much too many, in my opinion.

And I maintain that REAL Catholics did not vote for Obama, only CINOs did.

I think we can all face the facts that there were a fair number of Catholics and a fair number of Evangelicals (more than we’d care to admit) who were either swept up into the whole thing, don’t really care about the social issues or were simply misinformed or uninformed.

We’ll all find out soon enough how Obama is going to lead. I happen to believe that he is going to blindly push from the left, thinking that there will be no resistance.

I hope he will be surprised when true Christians rise up together and speak with one voice.

“only CINOs did.”

Yes too many CINO’s voted Obama. But that also could stand for Conservatives in name only. Obviously way to many of those voted for bHo too.

I live in a rural area. I believe small groups anywhere closely represent large groups anywhere, microcosms. I gave a short informational speech at my local Daughters of Isabella meeting prior to election day about Obama’s voting record on abortion, and talked about what the Vatican and leading bishops were saying about Obama and the Democrat Party.

Judging from the looks I got, and one very outspoken woman, about 30% were astounded and probably already Republicans. About 30% were visibly uncomfortable, not sure if they were Democrats or just hate controversy. About 30% were angry one woman raised her hand in defiance of the news and said, “well, to hear you tell it, we are only supposed to vote Republican.” I said, “that’s just what the Vatican is saying, ma’am.” She continued, “well that’s not right, I think we need to help poor people.”

By the way, the other 10%, probably didn’t hear a word I said.

The Catholic Faith consists of many people who attend Mass regularly and do not even consider the abortion issue much maybe because it is unpleasant, maybe because they figure it is the law of the land, or maybe because they don’t know the Democrat Party is wholly pro-death.

Anyway, that’s what I think.
