Mormon - Catholic there goes the evangelical vote!!!

[DemocracyInaction]

Remember JFK? I spent the first 45years of life in Iowa and Wisconsin. The lunatic fringe detest Catholics and think they are run by the Pope and think Mormons are a cult. They would be terrified thinking there could be a merger of the two wiping out protestants. And these church ladies and guys are old. Ryan and Mitt will end up being the two thieves crucified on both sides of Christ.

1. they hate Obama more so they will vote for Romney

[freshwest]

3. Agreed. That'll pull 'em in. That or paying no taxes. It was never about God, just themeselves.

8. Precisely

On the abortion issue alone.

2. In their eyes, a Mormon/Catholic ticket trumps an African American/Catholic ticket. n/t

[kentuck]

4. That is important to a lot of people in the Bible Belt...

That doesn't mean they will vote for Obama. It means they will sit out the election. Which, I guess, is like a vote for Obama?

12. BUT WHAT WILL THAT DO TO CONGRESS?

[kentuck]

14. I would guess that would help the Democrats gain seats in Congress...

Maybe enough to take back the majority?

5. Looks like they're going after the younger/middle aged vote, giving up the elderly southern vote.

Looks like a major shift in Republican Party strategy for the long term.

6. that dynamic has changed over the years

7. I think Obama will get allot of the catholic votes.

9. The thing that gets me is that Catholics hate Mormons too.

Why would they be paired up?! If he wanted to go Christian why not Santorum, another Catholic, and even the Evangelicals sort of liked Santorum. I still don't get why he didn't go Santorum.

10. Evangelicals don't really care, they just say they do. They hate Obama, nuff said.

They will love both the Mormon and Catholic position on abortion and having slews of RW babies. Evangelicals don't think beyond the umbilical chord.

11. I'm actually going to enjoy watching evangelical heads explode.

They've seriously earned this little treat.

[DLine]

13. Not a chance...

Every evangelical I know hates Obama far more than they hate the thought of a mormon or catholic running the country.
