Note to Team Romney: when you are in a room full of Christian leaders like those who were in that room and who have all long been attacked by the left as bigots, it is unwise — no, it is damn foolish — to accuse them of being anti-Mormon bigots, something too many Romney supporters have descended to as the only possible explanation for daring to not get on board with Romney.
Mormon question lingers for Mitt………”46 percent of Mormons say there is broad discrimination against them in the United States, and about 68 percent said they do not see themselves as part of the American mainstream.”
At this point, a vote for Santorum really does help Mitt Romney, but few are willing to acknowledge that. When given the chance to beat Romney, I was kind of shocked by the people who were already reconciled to his win, though that was not the majority view. Most want to fight till the end, fight to the convention, broker a convention, or do anything else to stop Romney. But by voting for Santorum, the group largely undercut more serious efforts waged by Gingrich to stop Romney and, even more troubling if Romney is the nominee and loses, potentially sets up a claim by Rick Santorum, a man who will have been out of office a decade by then, to be the 2016 front runner.…
Santorum Revealed as Romney's Stalking Horse in Brenham (The Meeting That Won’t Change The World) .........These conservative leaders really do not care about jobs, people hurting like the Great Depression, America's economy falling into an abyss. All they care about is "the family as the fabric of society," and other Rick Santorum social conservative platitudes. So a majority of them voted for Santorum. They could care less that Santorum would not do anything to reduce metastasizing government, much less castrate it (like Perry would), or has not the slightest trace of executive experience of any kind, government or private.
When asked one-on-one why they were going for Santorum when they knew he had no money, no organization, and stood not a ghost of a chance to win the nomination, the truth came out:
"If we unify behind Santorum, it will force Romney to pick him as his running mate - for he'll know that's the only way to get our support in the general (election in November)."
That's the slimy deal behind this. They'll go for Romney if he goes for Santorum on his ticket. Should we call them Judas Conservatives?"........
Erick Erickson is unhappy but he added to his earlier comment (that you've highlighted in your post).
Follow the "logic" and then tell me this means anything.

That is simply amazing, and quite revealing of the tone-deafness of these people. It’s the same game Michele Bachmann was playing. We don’t want to pick the best VP for Romney, WE WANT TO STOP ROMNEY!!
From the get-go, dating all the way back to last August up until now, the only 2 candidates that seem to understand this are Newt & Perry. God help us if we make the same mistake as 4 years ago. We can’t afford to run another RINO retread that is almost certain to be shallacked by Obama. We need a real conservative. In my view, we need Gov Perry, and I’m sticking with him as long as he’s in the race.
Thanks for posting.

Santorum endorsement doesn't impress churchgoers..”The backing appeared to have little impact among evangelicals, who account for more than half of South Carolina's Republican voters.
"I make decisions for myself and I don't listen to what a bunch of leaders say to do," said Victoria Jaworowski, who was attending the Cathedral of Praise mega-church in North Charleston.”……
Santorum says he can win if the others drop out....."RickSantorum sought to build on some recent momentum, including new support from conservative Christian groups, saying he will beat Mr. Romney for the Republican nomination once all the other candidates drop out."
Read and weep. Lucifer sure seems to be stalking the hallways.

I noticed the title on the Dr. Wheeler’s OpEd thread was updated.
I keep praying for the Lord’s will to be done. Then I remember Job and Nebuchadnezzar.
Are we, as a Nation, being tested or are we getting what we deserve?
I’m praying for grace.
Please, Anita, no, no, not the garage...I *tried*.
Oops.
“Team Romney” can kiss.....well, never mind, I’ll try to behave like a lady.
Mormons are beginning to sound like the race pimps, with all their moaning and whining about “bigotry.” I view Mormon doctrine as false and heretical, but I certainly don’t hate Mormons themselves; I pray for them. However, if my opinion of their doctrine qualifies me, in their minds, as a bigot, then so be it.
“I keep praying for the Lord’s will to be done. Then I remember Job and Nebuchadnezzar.

This is exactly what’s been on my mind the past couple of weeks. Considering the widespread moral decay of this country, we may very well be getting the leader(s) we deserve. It’s hard to face up to, but it’s a strong possibility, IMO.
It is very clear to me that as an Evangelical Christian I don't have a candidate to support. Perry lost me when he attacked free enterprise under the guise of "vulture capitalism". Santorum is about the closest I can find on the social issues, but from what I've seen he doesn't have the alpha male personality to be a factor. Maybe it's time for Evangelical Christians to see what common ground we have with the Tea Party and start uniting behind common candidates.
Yes.
Maybe this is why Bennett was so quick to condemn the Perry campaign because a pastor correctly pointed out Mormons are not Christians when he was asked the question by a reporter.
I agree about Perry criticizing “vulture capitalism” but he redeemed himself big time yesterday am when I saw him stand up for our marines. He still is the only one running with a consistent conservative record of job creation. Santorum won’t even support a right-to-work law. His voting record is abysmal. I can’t trust Santorum to get this country back to work. http://www.redstate.com/erick/2012/01/06/what-a-big-government-conservative-looks-like/
You’re so lame go back in your hole.
