The Democrats' losing hand

The American Thinker

In an interesting article about John G. Roberts Jr., the author writes:


"So, we have a brilliant Catholic judge with a impeccable record. It is one thing for Senator Schumer to question the"strong beliefs" of Judge Pryor. Let's face it, the Democrats lost their appeal to southern Christians long ago, so there wasn't a lot to give up.

But if Schumer tries to do the same thing to Roberts, all hell will break out. Since John F. Kennedy, the Catholics (including the delusional liberals) have not tolerated political anti-Catholic religious bigotry. If the Democrats go down that road, they will loose a major portion of the Catholic vote that went for Kerry in 2004. And remember, Bush got the majority of the Catholic vote even though Kerry said he was Catholic. Seems to me that in this metaphorical poker game, the Democrats have two choices: raise or fold. Problem is they don't have a very good hand."
