I was in El Paso, Texas over the Christmas holidays when a pastor and dear friend told me he had expected me to write something about the upcoming Pesidential elections, and particualrly about Mitt romney. I have actually been working on something on this for about 6 months, I have just not felt the time was right to share it. Well I now feel the tiem s right and here it is.
Let me say from the outset that these are my personal views and opinions, and are shared as such. They do not reflect upon any ministry or organization that I may be affiliated with. My views are also from a conservative or Evangelical Christian point of view.
In the Democratic Party we have 2 frontrunners and one candidate that will not quit while in the Republican Party we have 3 or 4 still battling it out. Of these seven leading candidates I have come to the conclusion that Mitt Romney is the best overall candidate from the conservative and Evangelical point of view. I have also come to the conclusion that the only reason that a conservative Christian would have for not vote for Mitt Romney is his Mormon religion, and that is a legitimate concern. So how would I come to the conclusion that Gov. Romney is the best guy, especially since I studied cult apologetics, in seminary, under the late Dr. Walter Martin? For those who do not know or remember him, Dr. Martin was author of The Kingdom of the Cults, which is the bible of cult apologetics. He also founded and hosted the syndicated radio program The Bible answer Man. Oh, and Walter was also my Sunday School teacher for 2 years.

I will stick with Republicans one more time if FR drops out. I may vote for Huck but that’s it. No mas.
If Fred flops, that’s where my vote will go.
No one. We can just hope tghe country has a negative reaction to Hillary’s leadership.
Fred is my only choice. Otherwise I am just sitting this one out. I am tired of having to settle for 2nd or 3rd choice every year.
It’s nice to know there are pragmatic, thinking Evangelicals.
I think Mitt Romney will make a fine President. He is the only Republican who I think will be able to debate the Dem without tripping over his words in a way that will lead to constant attack by the MSM, accusing him of either being racist or sexist. Mike, Rudy and McCain all have been very intemperate when agitated.....and the press will try to agitate.
I suggest all true conservatives vote for me. I have all the core beliefs and pledge to outlaw Hillary and have her deported to her home planet.
hmm...can you build a fence?
“Fred is my only choice. Otherwise I am just sitting this one out. I am tired of having to settle for 2nd or 3rd choice every year.”
You, me, and Tom Delay apparently.
The RNC can go to Hell.
Is Mrs. Clinton your fourth choice? We got 8 years of the immoral ex42 because of the Perot vote.
Huckabee is next and Romney is fourth on the media “drop um” list IMOOC
“I have all the core beliefs and pledge to outlaw Hillary and have her deported to her home planet.”
Kolob, right?
(yes, just a joke; couln’t resist.)
I see Ralph Nader is thinking about running again. If there are no conservatives left maybe ...........
“I have come to the conclusion that Mitt Romney is the best overall candidate from the conservative and Evangelical point of view.
Clearly not.
I have also come to the conclusion that the only reason that a conservative Christian would have for not vote for Mitt Romney is his Mormon religion”
Clearly not.
This is the equivalent of evangelicals supporting Huck. Social
conservative. Liberal socially. Same thing. Except Romney
may or may not be pro life now. Except that Romney may or
may not favor Gays now. Except that Romney may or may not
favor porn now.
Tom DeLay said he would sit out if Romney’s the nominee? Link?
That’s a pretty nice and well-reasoned piece. A little fact-bending, though, as I don’t think Rudy raised taxes as mayor of NYC and while he charges Obama of doing embelishing, Willard has also, well, been a little too eager to build raport with hunters. (I think his NRA statement was an honest error which he owned, and I do think his dad DID march with King.)
