52% of non-hispanics Catholics (a majority of us) voted AGAINST the pro-abortion Democrat. It was the "socially conservative" Hispanic Catholics who voted for the pro-abortion Democrat.
It works the same way with protestants when you break it down by ethnic group -- white protestants voted Republican, Hispanic protestants choose the Democrats.
The reason why the "Catholic vote" is more Democrat overall, is because there is a far greater percentage of Hispanic Catholics than there are Hispanic protestants.
Ansell's statement that "Protestants voted against every democrat candidate for president" is also untrue. Quite a few socialist Democrats have won a majority of the "protestant vote" nationally, including LBJ and FDR.
Actually what I said was “The Protestants voted against Obama as they DO every democrat candidate for president.”
Protestants did vote Democrat in 1932, 1936, and 1964, but they “do” vote against democrats with those three historical exceptions.
Catholic is a single denomination and it voted 54% for Obama, Protestants, with blacks and Hispanics included, voted 54% Republican.
Hispanics who become Protestant move right, 56% for Bush in 2004 and 48% for McCain in 2008, they are to the right of the Catholic church’s voters.
That is ridiculous, Hispanics are a recent event so they have nothing to do with the Catholic voting history until very, very recently, and besides, they are Catholics, it isn't like they are Episcopalians, or whatever.
