Sorry, Mr. Haggard. You're wrong, and as a Christian leader you should know better.
Mussolini was "competent". He made the trains run on time. But he was a fascist leftwing statist socialist.
It's first and foremost a question of adherence to the moral principles that undergird our free republic's institutions...a firm belief, carried out in actions, in support of limited self-government, under God.
Competence, of course, is critically important, but it shouldn't be the first thing out of your mouth, sir, when you're talking about the qualifications for the highest office in the land, and possession of the most powerful position on the planet.
Many Mormons could easily meet the conservative constitutional test in the eyes of many evangelicals. Most Mormons and most evangelicals share a commitment to the same moral code as it applies to human governance.
Mitt Romney does not. As a proven liberal, he is disqualified. And it has nothing to do with his LDS membership.

Are you trying to say Romney is a fascist?
Yikes!
Oh please! I'm perfectly willing to accept that Romney isn't conservative enough for you, that's reasonable, but calling him a 'proven liberal' just proves you aren't a serious person.
