“While most conservatives and Evangelical Christians are actually supporting Romney there are some who are so self righteous and sanctimonious that they refuse to support any one who’s not as ideologically pure as themselves.”

Call them Pharissees. Jesus called the Pharissees “white washed tombs full of dead mens bones”, “hypocrites” and also hell bound. Food for thought.

That is totally out of context...
How about this one?:

1Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. 4 For he is God’s minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God’s minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil. 5 Therefore you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience’ sake. 6 For because of this you also pay taxes, for they are God’s ministers attending continually to this very thing. 7 Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor.

~Romans 13:1-7

Kinda convicting isn't it?
This is why I feel comfortable voting for whomever I please. Mitt Romney is NOT my candidate.

You certainly have a way with words, and describing the people... that disagree with you... that you need to convince... to vote for your guy.

Calling people names and berating them is a certain vote-getter.
