I get the feeling that secular conservatives would like to exploit the religious conservatives the way the secular progressives exploit the minorities, for their votes.
I have heard differing views on the delivery. I think that deliberately making a comparison to JFK was unwise, in view of the stil inexplicable love for "Camelot" by many progressives.
What is your take on what the Evangelical community may have heard in this speech? I agree with some who saw an insinuation that "you are a bigot if you consider my religion when in the voting booth." Of course, having been called that for months for the same reason, I may be a little biased. ;)
That was exactly what Romney was saying, that religious beliefs should not be part of the criteria for judging a presidential candidate.
Frankly, I could care less about what liberals “feel” about the comparison to JFK. The liberals are really more concerned with the fact that JFK made such a speech at all and that if he were alive now, they wouldn’t be voting for him.
