You damn right it's not. The left was making a big deal recently, about the idiotic notion that the GOP is so radically conservative, that even Reagan would have not be welcomed there today. That's demonstrably false, and here is the proof. In 2008 and 2012, the GOP's presidential nominees were far less conservative than Reagan.
In my parents' generation, it was unthinkable for a Catholic to not vote Democrat. Today, I don't see how anyone who claims to be Catholic can even consider voting for a Democrat at the national level. The Catholic catechism has not changed since then, but the platforms of the Democratic party sure have. In the 1960's, the Democratic party abandoned traditional family values for the radicalism that came about from the opposition to the Vietnam War and the sexual revolution.
