No evangelical can do that except for voting for a candidate who espouses such a thing.
Voters don't "allow" anything. We vote for a candidate, plain and simple. If we don't think he's trustworthy, if we don't believe he will be a good leader, then we shouldn't vote for him no matter what letter comes after his name on the ballot.
Voting against the Democrat agenda whenever possible is a given. In the general election, we can talk about making such a compromise. But now? In the primaries? It is far too early in this process to panic.
I believe Mitt Romney would make a good President and has already proven himself to be a good leader in a number of arenas (Olympics, Bain Capital, as Governor, etc.) Whether he’s be best choice is up to primary voters, but in no way is he a bad choice.

they were talking about the general election. It’s too early to argue about the hypothetical of Romney versus (like Hillary) in the November general election.
But i would agree that if it did come to that, that, indeed, a conservative ‘sitting it out’ because they are not sure about Romney being 100% on our side against any of the liberal Democrats, Hillary, obama etc., is an act of voting Hari kari.
