Religious Right Vilifies Romney

"They said all sorts of ludicrous things [about Romney]... that when he became president he would pass a bill for same-sex marriage."

The push-polling has hit other candidates too, but it highlights Mr Romney's particular difficulties in selling his candidacy to the religious right since he is a Mormon. While much attention has focused on the possibility of "firsts" in the Democratic race with a woman in Hillary Clinton or African American in Barack Obama as real shots at the White House, Mr Romney would be the first Mormon president.

It's something that's firing up the evangelical community, which is highly suspicious of Mormonism, claiming it is a perversion of the Bible and describing it as a cult.

[tortdog]

Good Christians rally to spread lies about Romney because they believe it is a perversion and a cult. With friends like this...

[cripplecreek]

And you seem to belive whatever the media wants to tell you about the evil racist Christians.

[Reaganesque]

More Evangelicals supported Romney in MI than supported Huckabee.

[BibChr]

If it isn’t a perversion and a cult, then what is, and on what basis?

[Rome2000]

Every Mormon I ever met was crazier than a bed bug.

Hey!,if Myth gets elected he can challenge the mohammedans to a "Crazy Religion" contest!

[Manic_Episode]

Being a mormon is the only thing Romney is really sincere about, and even there he is sincerely wrong.

[Osage Orange]

Good Christians rally to spread lies about Romney because they believe it is a perversion and a cult.

Huh?

[DManA]

I thought that fact would end this kind of discussion but it just revealed to me how naive I am.

[tortdog]

I am satirizing the Christian group that is spreading lies about a candidate because they believe his religion is perverse and a cult. I am quite sure that they believe they are doing good.

Doesn’t make them correct.

[Reaganesque]

Hey, we can only try.

[rightinthemiddle]

(sigh)

If Romney gets the nomination, this is the stuff we’re going to hear from the Media every day.

Divide, and conquer.

The Republican Party is being split by the Elites in politics and the MSM. And, we are participating.

[Vanders9]

After all, most liberals believe very sincerely they are doing good. Adolf Hitler believed very sincerely (if slightly warpedly) that he was doing good.

[DManA]

Everyone loves a good pity party.

[tortdog]

The “religious rights” tolerates the bigotry. We have no one but ourselves to blame.

[tortdog]

Lucid.

[EagleUSA]

When will the stone-age religous wars ever end? We are trying to choose a President, not argue over religous doctrine. What a crock. Idiots.

[killermedic]

Nice pic bigot! I guess being crazy doesn’t include pastor pedophelia then does it?

[Stark_GOP]

Wrong.
Many good and prominent Christian leaders are endorsing Romney.

Make it a 3-way contest...Tom Cruise and John Travolta can bring Scientology's Xenu to the party.

Being a mormon is the only thing Romney is really sincere about,

Where was his sincerity when he was pushing abortion in Massachusets?
