Catholics voted for Obama, traditionally vote democrat (only straying 6 times), elected JFK with 80% of their vote and you choose to go after the Protestant vote of 1932, 1936, and 1964?
Catholics vote democrat, and soon, because of Catholic immigration, the Catholic vote will return to it’s normal place of NEVER going republican, all of America will vote like California.
Do you know how Catholic Hispanics that become Protestant vote? They vote more like Protestants.
I don't "go" after any particular voter: the entire statistical approach of yours is ridiculous. Let's say Protestants vote 55/45% Republican/Democrat and Catholics 55/45% vote Democrats/Republic every time. So? It is your 45% that give us lefwing governments because your 45% is numerically larger than our 55%. Further, except for Kennedy ALL US Presidents were Protestant. If Protestantism automatically produces conservatism, show me Protestants electing a Protestant president that turns the country permanently rightward. Since Reagan you cannot, and blue collar Catholics voted for Reagan in numbers that proved decisive; it is Catholics who gave Bush a second term.
However, the Protestant vote of 1932, 36, 64 cannot be dismissed. These were Protestant-majority elections that gave us Protestant presidents who gave us the pillars of liberalism: the New Deal and the Great Society welfare system. Own them, as I, Catholic, own the disaster of the Immigration act.
This article illustrates, of course the failure of Catholic leadership, but the Protestant leadership in matters of pro-life politics is simply non-existent. Can you, honestly, imagine a similar article written about a nominally Protestant celebrity politician (that is, virtually anyone of them) standing up on any national podium and saying things like "I am Protestant and as a Protestant woman I passionately defend the right to abortion"? Of course not. So you are a Protestant woman who is pro-abort? Duh, we have whole Protestant churches for the likes of you; lady, you are not newsworthy. At least we have national leaders in the position to condemn the Catholic pro-aborts, and we have a national cadre of pundits in the secular media to call on them when they fail to do so. A similar disciplinary apparatus is not even possible under Protestantism.
I would agree with you that as a Protestant project, America is about to fail if it hasn't failed already: the upcoming re-election of Protestant Obama over Mormon Romney would dot all the i's still in need of being dotted. The blame for that is on the Protestant leadership which allowed it to happen. The future of America is bright because this future is also Catholic. We are not going to be minority for very long, and we are not going to jerk our knee at the mention of the Kennedys for very long.
