Fact: MANY Evangelical Christians are one issue voters.
During the last few weeks of the campaign no less than 2% ... maybe 5% .... of evangelical Christians began looking at the candidates in earnest.
These one issue voters learned that Romney is a proaborter AND THEY WOULD NOT VOTE FOR HIM UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
You can call those folks all you want... they will not vote for a proaborter.
A viable political party cannot give up two to five percent of the vote up front in a presidential election and expect to win in the end.
This one issue.... Romney’s long history of supporting abortion... should have eliminated him early on in the primary vetting process.
But of course, as we all know, Romney WAS rejected by Republican voters, but North East Establishment Liberal Republicans lied, cheated, and stole the nomination for Romney.
FOXNEWS was the number #1 reason Romney won the nomination.
Shawn Hannity, Bill Oreilly, and company pushed and pushed and pushed for Romney and he STILL had to steal the nomination.
If Republicans do not deal with this one issue, they will get another Dole, Bush, McCain, Romney milk toast liberal Republican clone in 2016 and again be sitting around scratching their wrinkly butts wondering why THEIR liberal got beaten by a FAR BETTER LIBERAL.
Wow from your lips to God’s ears brother well said.
You may be right about the abortion issue, and Romney’s record as governor of a liberal state hurt him significantly in this election, but please tell me exactly how Romney “stole the nomination”?
In many ways, both Rick Santorum and Newt would have been great candidates. But the Obama campaign would have viciously attacked Santorum as a "hateful homophobe" and a "religious extremist", while Gingrich would have been smeared as "disrespectful of women" because of statements from his ex-wife. Would either of them have been able to withstand Obama's vicious smear machine and win the election? I don't know, but most likely they would have received more votes and support from evangelical Christians.
