Well, intriguing might be a good word. But it's intriguing along the lines of being a young guy who discovers a certain girl appears to like you. In fact, you've even heard that she used to be a liberal but has apparently done an aboutface, and you've heard she's done this just to attract you (why, how flattering).
Then you discover she's diehard LDS. And you realize that LDS believe that a woman needs a worthy Mormon husband to get to the highest level of heaven--the celestial kingdom. And since that's not "you," you realize either (a) you become a convert to advancing what she believes in your life; or (b) you realize this relationship would never go anywhere long term, so you remain disinterested.
So, the choice is up to Republicans. Do they want to advance what Mitt believes? Or will they realize this relationship won't really go anywhere in the long-term?
THE CASE AGAINST GIULIANI Giuliani worships at the Church of Whatever Works For me.
Conservatives are disgusted with abortion worshipper Giuliani---a gun-grabbing RINO who is working assiduously to religiously cleanse the Repub party. Rooty and his Rooters are obsessed with dumping so/cons off the party lifeboat.
A religiously-cleansed America, erased of The Founder's principles, would perforce adhere to Rooty's irrational, valueless mentality, one that has no relevance to deep American traditions.
Rooty and his Tooters offend the sensibilities of patriotic religious Americans nurtured by a democracy built on freedom of religion. Under Giuliani, people of religion would be subjugated to second-class citizenship.
The contrast between Giuliani and Mitt Romney is staggering. Romney vigorously defends his faith. In an increasingly secular society, it is heartening that a candidate not only espouses a faith but actually defends his faith to voters.
We may not all agree with Romney's belief system, but the fact that a US president recognizes the importance if religion is a very big plus.
Or would you rather have Rooty's irrational, religiously cleansed mindset in our White House?
FreeRepublic really should be above this level of religious bigotry.
Would you engage in a smear on Rudy, about Mary worship, or burning candles to Saints? Maybe you want to pick a fight with John McCain over Episcopalian Baptism. Mitt is not running for leadership of your faith, he is running for POTUS
What church do you attend? I will tell you upfront that I want that information so that I can research all the dirt on it and spread it all over FR.
Not at all. But since I KNOW he isn't going to promote Mormonism as president, I support him because I think he is the best for the job.
So because your romantic life went south at one point, that means we shouldn't support Romney? Hey, I never made it with Playmate Petra Verkaik so I guess that means you shouldn't support the candidate I blame for this failure.
