The culprits are Latinos, married mothers, and again Catholics.
I think if you've lost mothers, you're going to lose.
I'm relieved. From so many daily threads I thought it was the Jews' fault.
"Jewish voters, longtime Democratic loyalists as a group, gave congressional Democrats nationwide 87 percent of their vote."
How can a Jewish voter support ANY democrat!? The democrats are for abortion, a holocaust of the unborn.
You can't get any more Catholic than that. Poll them when they exit the Pews.
On a serious note, I totally agree. That's exactly what happened in this election. The Independents voted against George Bush. It's not as complicated as many seem to think it is.
The fault lies with the "teach the Republican's a lesson" conservative and no show voters.
Now we all will have to suffer.
Bingo
Let's see. Catholic support dropped from 52 to 45%, a massive defection, but Evangelicals turned out with a drop of only 7%.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding this, but isn't a drop from 52 to 45 also only 7%? Doesn't that mean that conservative Catholic and Evangelical turnout dropped about equally?
I'd say that both groups dropped somewhat because Bush has been a disappointment these last two years, accomplishing very little except for those two excellent Supreme Court appointments. Clearly the Republicans are the better choice for religious conservatives, but on the whole they have been very disappointing. And evidently the corruption issue did have some effect. Also, of course, it's an off year.
You can count me among them. I voted for Bush twice. But, his big spending on the Farm, Education and other bills have completely turned me off. His total lack of leadership on the illegal issue TOTALLY turned me off. He failed to do his Constitutional duty, he violated his Oath of Office to Defend the Republic against all enemies when he fought to grant illegals amnesty and make them legal. He violated his oath of office in failing to do due diligence with his administration. I would not vote for him again. I would probably vote for the Constitutional Party or something. I would not vote for a RINO again. I made that mistake twice. Shame on me. The only thing I support Bush on is the war on terror and I have my problems with some of his actions in regards to this. My total support is behind my brothers and sisters on the front lines. That is all I am worried about now. That they are going to pay a higher price in blood because of the crap the socialist democrats will pull. WE can thank Mr. Bush for that. He and his screwed up party.
I wish you folks would quit pinning this garbage on us.

Rev. Tony Campolo, a liberal evangelist = heretic and false teacher.
Evangelicals also turned their vote from the Republicans to the dimocrats.
Not just the Catholics.
There is a thread with that info on FR
Does the poll distinguish churchgoing Catholics from non Churchgoing Catholics?
In my view, the Catholics who voted dem have just voted for abortion and all its ugliness. Just when I was thinking of coming back...
No now it can be Pelosi's fault!
AMEN!
How any Catholic voter can support a democRAT is beyond me too. They're truly the Party of Death.
I don't understand this search for people to blame. The Republicans lost, and they probably deserved it.
Protestants, too.
