When you say “economic” are you really saying “union” and the revolving slush fund between Big Labor and the Dems? Surely, the people of Pittsburgh aren’t stupid enough to think that the Dems actually understand economics, are they?
I hate to say this...but I think most of them do.
The image of the 19th. century “robber baron” cast a looooong shadow in this town.
2. Old habits. A lot of 60+ Catholics think they are still voting for JFK and helping the little guy even tho that's not the same party.
Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
I don’t see “union” in there.
If we don’t support life by voting against those who support abortion, euthanasia, contraception, etc. we will never have liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
The Catholics have always been married to the democrat left, before JFK they had either a permanent majority democrat vote, or they may have had a slight majority support Eisenhower in 1956 as an incumbent, it depends on which polling you use.
So at most, the Catholic vote had gone GOP once, before JFK.
Is that how the Catholic vote turned California permanently democrat, is that why the democrats pray for Catholic immigration to conquer Texas?
No one can account for black behavior or their politics, no one can explain them, and no one really tries to, but probably none of us belong to black denominations anyway.
Many here do belong to the Catholic denomination, and we are importing millions more of them, that is why the vote of the catholic denomination is all important, as we keep losing the nation to Catholic and atheist voters the democrats count on the catholic vote to give it to them forever, that isn’t an issue with whatever denominations most of the black voters belong to.
We do know that when Hispanics become Protestant, that they start voting more pro-life conservative.
Agreed. The Catholic voter’s love of Democrats goes back way beyond JFK. We started looking around for someone to punish the EEEEEEVIL Anglo-Saxon Protestant Robber Barons in the late 19th. Century.
When they make enough money to move out of the neighborhood and own in the suburbs, they will vote Republican. Everyone votes their pocketbook.
Nonsense, Catholic means baptized members of the Catholic denomination who consider themselves Catholics.
Protestant means all the other Christians, people who have never been baptized or may not have ever been in a church but consider themselves a Christian, blacks, Hispanics, gay Episcopalians, Lutherans, Evangelicals, and any and all, it is a vastly more diluted category than the baptized Catholic church members, yet the catch-all non-catholic Christian category is still far to the right of the catholic denomination.
What nonsense.
It’s the economy, stupid.
Actually the white Protestants voted 69% GOP, and the white Evangelical denominations, about 79% GOP.
The Catholic denomination isn't a race, it is a church denomination that the democrats have counted on for 150 years, and one which the democrats are importing by the millions.
Do you think the democrat party would be fighting to import many 100s of thousands of Evangelical Christians every year?
So Catholics and Jews and gays, the wealthy Asians and feminists support the democrats because they are good on the economy?
Majority is what wins elections. When the economy is good, [Reagan, and the Bushes] Catholics vote for GOP. But after the way Bush screwed them by exporting their jobs, the GOP brand is in the trash can.
The Catholic vote has only gone republican about 5 times in our entire history.
You reasons aren’t why.
And the GOP has nominated a Catholic for President exactly zero times in our entire history.
And then there are the Catholics who are not Democrats.
Ditto for Buffalo, NY.
That is why my in laws were Democrats for a long time.
My mother in law is no longer one, only because of abortion.
