A few months ago, I might have agreed with you.
So far, a more competitive social and fiscal conservative has not appeared as a viable Republican candidate for president. The MSM keeps touting McCain and Giuliani, neither of which is acceptable to social conservatives.
As president Romney is likely to fill the next SCOTUS opening with someone like evangelical Christian Michael McConnell, setting the nation on a steadfast conservative course for 20-30 years.
Complaining about Romney's religion is pointless and irrelevant. His religion will manifest itself in traditional social and fiscal conservatism, nothing less and nothing more.
What's wrong with that?
Romney would make a good President, even though Mormonism is as credible as 8 foot tall Quaker moon men. That is the problem, the National Democratic party and the media would have a hey day telling the world every fine detail of Mormon kookiness from Demon repellent underwear to baptisms of the dead. I certainly respect Mormon's for their steadfast family values but the media will rush to crucify Romney in such a way that would make Pontus Pilot proud.
Yep, good old fellow Mormon, Harry Reid is the embodiment of traditional social and fiscal conservatism.
Look for him to appear again on C-Span and judge for yourself. He's an accomplished speaker, almost Reaganesque, great sense of humor, and good-looking, too. TV cameras love him. Given a moderate amount of publicity (and no scandals) he could easily acquire a following.
In Massachusetts he nominated at least one homosexual liberal Democrat gay rights activist as district court judge.
Let me repeat: Mitt Romney thinks liberal Democrat gay rights activists are good judge material.
Can't wait for Romney to nominate Barney Frank to the Supreme Court!
