Mitt Romney and the Republican Party's sizable bloc of evangelical voters are about to engage in a marriage of political convenience.
The presumptive GOP presidential nominee's march to the nomination proceeded largely without strong backing from the conservative Christian community.
But with Romney now the only hope that conservatives have to beat President Barack Obama in November, a partnership has begun to jell.
Gary Rose, the chairman of the politics and government department at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Conn., agreed. "Santorum was their guy, but more important is their agenda of dislodging Obama," he said. "I don't believe they'll stay home."

Holding their nose for Romney —
Agreed.
It’s worse than ever, though. At least McCain had a pro-life record to make holding the nose a little reasonable.
In Romney’s case, though, they’re going to have to don a gas mask and a full protection suit. Then they’ll have to burn their personal statements of principles. There’s is not spit’s worth of difference between Romney and Obama.
But we have all these folks fearful of Obama. They’re afraid of a man who thinks there are 57 states, who requires a teleprompter, and who bows to the king of Mecca. Absolutely amazing.
Fear God and serve Him.
One leg at a time, Sweet Jesus.
Thats all Obama can do.
He hasnt the strength
to do everything they fear he can do.
Hes just a man, sweet Jesus
And power may never be mine
But remind me today, he puts on his pants
One leg at a time
ping to 101
Amen.
Well, when it happens, wear it with pride. Maybe mathematics isn't your strong point Obot.
I find it interesting that all the Romnoids have to sell is fear, sophistry, and insults to promote your leftwing candidate. Just like the Obmachine in ‘08, as against the PUMAs. But then, anyone who could support Romney’s record could support Obama’s if they closed their eyes.
Me a “Romnoid”...HA HA HA HO HO HO HEE HEE HEE!!! (by the way, the term is “Romulan”)
All seriousness aside, if you plan to help Obama, you deserve insults. Apparently fear doesn’t work.
This evangelical will never vote for Romney.
JESUS will find faith in me when HE returns... if I live to see it. I pray that HE takes me and my sword.

“All seriousness aside, if you plan to help Obama, you deserve insults.”
If you plan to help any leftwing activist, you deserve either pity is you are deceived, or contempt if you are not.

Wrong: “We, the GOP-e, are so determined to hang on to control of our power in the party that we will support a tool like Mitt Romney and guarantee a second term for Obama.”
I will not soil my responsibilities as a Christian and a conservative by voting for someone who has demonstrated he will do ANYTHING to be liked by the center. No.
The republican elite and mitt romney took down the better candidates... the leftists want mitt... either way the election turns out... they are good to go. carter even said mitt would be a fine president.

That is what I meant.

In the end, that is all it comes down to. Those who understand, do so. Those who can’t, can’t. Those who won’t pretend that they can’t.
You're projecting, considering there's not a Zimbabwean dollar's difference between Romney or Obama, Mittwitt.
“I, svcw, want to give Obama a second term, rather than elect Romney. Simple”
That’s the bottom line everyone. A second term of Obama and we’re done for. There may not be that much difference between the two but I believe Romney doesn’t HATE this country like Obama does and will surround himself with subversives.
And just for the record, our last election was a bust and we’ve had 4 years and still didn’t have a stellar field (IMO) to choose from.
We don't accept responsibility for what the Ruling Class with the Media and Obama's help selected as our nominee to lose against Obama in November. We are not motivated by such fearmongering. We're Conservatives, not drones of the GOP.
I'm sure the paid RomneyBots who infest FreeRepublic will come up with lots of other invectives against us.
Uh oh! The RomneyBots are getting desperate! They're pulling out the tired old, "Ooooga Boooga" line!
Amen and amen!
