How Should Republicans Target Conservative Catholics

If you are not following Tim Stanley from the UK Telegraph you should. He has an interesting post at America's conservative Catholics are on the warpath. Republicans should be courting them . He also talks about the controversial Michael Voris.

Catholics being involved in politics is nothing new. It just happens when a Conservative Catholic voice gets involved that the "Establishment" rushes in to tell us how horrible this is. If a College Catholic College Center or Parish is used as place help promote Card Check no one gets upset.

It's a good piece. I would differ with this as to McCain. McCain actually did well and in some places better than Bush among the Mass Going Catholics. However he is right as a whole Bush targeted Catholics better overall.

Of course it must be said that conservative Catholics are not one monolithic group either politics wise. But the targeting can be done. Just showing up and saying "you are important" does a lot.

Voris should end all of his videos with a disclaimer that says "We guarantee that no wild animals were harmed in the creation of this hairpiece".
