But you only assume it, you offer no proof. Got some stats?
My conjecture is more logical. There is a huge difference in voting patterns between White Catholics (59% Romney) and Hispanic Catholics (21% Romney) vote, and there is a huge difference between how White Protestants vote (69% Romney) and Black Protestants vote (5% Romney) your assertion seems completely counter to the available evidence.
You wish to lump all Catholics together, but the statistics don't support you doing that. Catholics have wildly divergent voting based on race, just like Protestants.
If you want to know how someone should vote the first thing you should ask is "what race are they?". If the answer is black they are voting Democratic!! 95% of the time, whether they belong to the Protestant church or the Catholic church.
My claim is that if they are Hispanic they will vote Democratic, pretty overwhelmingly.
In fact the reason that Catholics appear to be more liberal is because they have more Hispanics in the church. If you want more Conservatives you should be opposing more immigration from Mexico and Latin America, regardless of the religion of those moving here.
It turns out religion, without race, isn't a very good predictor of voting.
Here is a good article from American Thinker today on the problems with Hispanic migration: Benedict Obama's Invasion of America
Thank you for this information.
Catholic is a single church denomination not a race and Catholics were voting democrat long before the recent growth of Hispanics from the JFK law, and we are importing Catholics by the millions.
No one can explain black votes and we don’t have numbers for Catholic, and Evangelical, versus merely Protestant blacks, and we are not importing them by the millions.
The members of the Catholic church are all together, under the authority of European authority of Rome, and our Hispanic immigrants come from actual Catholic countries.
Non-catholic, Hispanic Christians, when all lumped together, are about a 50/50 pro-life republican vote, for instance 44% in 2000, 56% in 2004, and 48% in 2008, and the research indicates that the Evangelical Hispanics are to the right of the average Hispanic Protestant, in voting, pro-life republican.
If you care about life and conservatism, then fight against immigration, don’t fight for it, and don’t fight to continue JFK’s dream.
