Conservative Protestants historically...have considered the Roman Catholicism which Newt converted to, also a kind of “cult” except one MUCH more ancient, influential and pervasive than Mormonism.
Many, for example, strongly opposed JFK just due to his affinity to Rome.
Most conservatives in our two party system rationally only want one thing, THE DEFEAT OF BARAK OBAMA.
Newt at this point Newt cannot get the delegates, and cannot get the nomination...hence, rationally, they are supporting the only candidate—IN OUR TWO PARTY SYSTEM—who can possibly DEFEAT OBAMA, Gov. Romney.
A number of our presidents have NOT been committed, bible-believing (or born again), Christians, including a couple of our founders. I believe a pseudo or nominal Christian in political power can be more destructive to the faith, than even a member of a cult.
I’m very sorry for it too, but even a flip-flopping, lying, cultist....is better than the Marxist, fake-Christian, would-be-dictator we have now.
So you prefer Obamney or Rombama?
Oh...you’ve done it now...
Stand by for heavy rolls...
