Romney's everything an Evangelical wants in a politician, with one exception -- he's Mormon. Hewitt did an online interview over at the <I>Christianity Today</I> website two weeks ago, presenting Romney as an intelligent social conservative.<BR/><BR/>The comment thread for that interview was all Christianese-language denunciations of Mormonism's False Doctrine, heavily seasoned with "It Is Written!" Bible-verse proof-texts. Obviously, no Christian base support for Romney.<BR/><BR/>Do they think Christ is going to return and Rapture them between November 2008 and Inauguration Day 2009 so they won't have to bend the knee and burn the pinch of incense before Her Divine Image, the alternative that got the throne because they couldn't vote for a Mormon?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19646581.post-48174735525265683262007-03-14T20:32:00.000-06:002007-03-14T20:32:00.000-06:00If two candidates are equally gifted, I'll pick th...If two candidates are equally gifted, I'll pick the never divorced one. If the two candidates are wildly different, but the divorced one has the traits of a leader, guess which one I'll choose?<BR/><BR/>Guess which one Evangelicals choose?

Or will one man-one woman marriage be one of the first things to be deep-sixed on their frantic climb to the top? <BR/><BR/>It seems too easy for self-satisfied pols without any real solid values to casually help undermine an institution that means a lot to poorer, less successful and less smugly content people. <BR/><BR/>Otherwise I was fine with Reagan's one divorce. That just made him seem normal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
