Clear enough Jim. God bless you for remaining TRUE to your convictions!
I am seeing some of the “Christian” websites begin to kiss up to Romney like onenewsnow.com. For example, in thier front page column titled “Santorum - Romney’s ‘bridge’?” -
They have this professor from Regent University by the name of Dr. Charles Dunn saying:
“Mitt Romney’s Achilles heel is with the evangelical vote,” states Dunn. “Santorum has it; Romney doesn’t. To unify the Republican Party, the first thing [Romney] must do ... is get the evangelical vote. The bridge to the evangelical vote is Rick Santorum.”
These people act as though the convictions of a Christian is something that can be brokered by them. I didn’t support Santorum for Vice President, a cabinet position or a prime slot at the convention.
As I commented there, Rick lost the Senate partly because he angered conservatives by backing Specter over Pat Toomey. I have been a Santorum supporter throughout this race but if he backs Romney over Newt - I will never support him again.
As I wrote this afternoon - it would be SO EASY to give in once again - like I did several years ago when sitting with a room full of Christian Republicans here in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida who argued AGAINST ME that “Foley might be a homosexual, but he’s OUR homosexual.”
I’m not making this up. Christian Republicans fought me just as some do now regarding Romney - contending that “Foley’s seat is too valuable to risk” - despite knowing that he was pro-abortion and his deviant behavior was known to many throughout the Republican circles of PB County.
My argument was that we as Christians have an OBLIGATION to stand for potential Republican replacements to Foley. What kind of faith do we have if we think our God is too small and too powerless for us NOT to compromise by turning against the commands in His word?
The result of the ongoing Foley compromise -as we know- is that WE WERE HANDED OVER TO OUR ENEMIES AND WE LOST OUR MAJORITIES IN THE HOUSE SENATE AND THE WHITEHOUSE.
This primary is an opportunity to get it right and learn from our mistakes. We do not have to nominate an unacceptable candidate. If conservatives can fight in this “4th quarter”, a brokered convention could bring about an acceptable candidate to ALL sides of the GOP. I will not comply with those people again.
The nomination of Willard Mitt Romney is political suicide and is every bit as wrong as supporting Foley was. If Romney is afforded the prize of his insatiable lust for the sake of legacy, we will be as successful as the builders of Babel.

Well said.
