Religion / Election 2012 NOM Urges You to "Vote Catholic"
Posted by Dan Savage on Fri, Oct 5, 2012 at 11:28 AM
NOM's BDOT—"biggest douche on Twitter"—wants you to "vote Catholic."
NOM's BDOT apparently isn't looking at the polls:
President Obama's support among Catholic voters has surged since June, according to a new poll, despite a summer that included the Catholic bishops' religious freedom campaign and the naming of Rep. Paul Ryan, a Catholic, as the GOP's vice-presidential candidate. On June 17, Obama held a slight edge over Mitt Romney among Catholics (49-47 percent), according to the Pew Research Center. Since then, Obama has surged ahead, and now leads 54-39 percent, according to a Pew poll...
Yes, please! Vote with the majority of American Catholics!
