While the above is true, note that I use the word contingent and not all and I didn't mention you specifically as one of those who are a part of that contingent nor did I ever think it, as I have read many of your posts regarding this presidential race. There are also Catholics and conservatives who oppose Romney's candidacy on grounds other than his Mormon religion, a fact I have stated on this forum several times, and have always seen you as one of them.
It has only been recently that I have realized there are Catholics who oppose Romney principally and primarily because he is Mormon, the spirit of which is in opposition to our precious faith, imho and the reason for my comment was as a reminder to those people.
As I also said, if Mitt is the nominee, I'll have no trouble supporting him, I just am working for Fred to be the nominee.
I won't back myself into a corner, do or die. I'm a pragmatist when it comes to politics. I'd rather have half a loaf with which we can work, than have none at all, and starve. A Democrat in the White House will do nothing to advance the pro-life cause, and will work hard to overthrow all the gains we've made in the last 7 years. That means that the slaughter of the last 35 years will continue, unabated. Even the more liberal of the possible nominees won't do the damage a Democrat would do, because he knows that to go against the mainstream of the Republican party, which is conservative, would damage his chances of re-election.
When it becomes clear who the nominee will be, and frankly, even before that, we all must work within our states to make sure that the most conservative candidates are elected to Congress. This will support and bolster our pro-life cause, so that even if a liberal Republican is elected, the legislation that is sent to him will be pro-life, and the conservatives out here can keep the pressure on him to pass it.
