If you read all the way to the bottom of the item, you'll see that
your link actually validates my point about some Christians who
describe themselvs as "evangelical" (including the Methodist preacher
quoted)
having difficulty with Romney's Mormon faith.
From your link:
Evangelicals are hugely influential in the Iowa caucuses, making up by
some estimates some 40 percent of Republican caucus-goers. Many of
them, however, have profound reservations about Mr. Romney's Mormon
faith.
Mr. Hurd, the pastor of West Hill United Methodist Church here who
identified himself as an evangelical, said he wrestled with that issue
himself but decided in the end it should not matter in his decision.
"Although they have a theology vastly different from mine, Mormons
generally are good citizens," he said.
Mr. Hurd also offered some insight into where his fellow Alliance
board members are leaning. He said they are mainly divided between Mr.
Romney and Mr. Huckabee, with the latter probably holding the edge.
"A lot of them are troubled by his Mormon religion," he said. "That's
probably the difference."
*******
So there's a statement, by an Iowa pastor describing himself as
"evangelical", confirming that many Christians of his acquaintance are
"troubled by (Romney's) Mormon religion."
Not quite... there are no quotes around evangelical in the article. So
it didn't come out of his mouth, but probably went something like
this:
"Do you evangelize as part of your faith?"
"Yes."
"So would you consider yourself an evangelical Christian?"
"I suppose."
My whole point continues to be that it is the *media* who seems to
find the labels "evangelical" and "fundamentalist" (which *you*
improperly used) important, not Christians themselves.
And also that there are Christians who do not have a problem with the
Mormon faith. Sure some do, but there are groups who are opposed to
Romney for other reasons as well. So? Weird people everywhere.

Huckabee is a perfect match for the GOP base.- Hide quoted text -

No he is not... you just want him in because your candidates are so
weak...




Are you on consciousness-altering drugs?

In the recently concluded Iowa caucuses, the Democratic candidates
brought more than twice as many voters out on a cold night than the
Republicans. I don't recall the exact count, but I believe the Dems had
about 240,000 Iowans show up for caucus, while the Repugs had only about
115,000. And it was much more difficult and took much more time to vote
in the Democratic caucuses.

If the Democratic candidates were so weak, they wouldn't be outpolling
the Republicans by such a substantial number.

The only *decent* candidate on the GOP side is John McCain. Your hero,
Huckabee the Evangelical, is a foreign policy numnutz. We've already had
seven years of that with Bush. It isn't going to happen again.

====================

He's right, though. The Republican "base" gave us the president who says
things like "Natural gas is hemispheric. I like to call it hemispheric." You
are the base.

Huckabee believes the earth is 6000 years old, and apparently didn't know
humans were primates until recently. You like uneducated fools, so you will
probably vote for him. He won't make you feel smart.

I'll wager that if he's the Republican candidate next November, you'll vote
for him.

OK, Shortwave, there you are. An fresh accusation of bestiality from

In response to your comment that the Democratic candidates are weak,
implying the Republican candidates have something to offer?

Yeah, I think you are are consciousness-altering drugs.

The only capable candidate on the GOP side is McCain, and while he
likely will win the New Hampshire primary, he hasn't the funds to go
much farther.

I'm pulling for the candidate from Jesusville. Nothing could be better
for the Democrats than a simple-minded, ignorant of foreign policy,
backwards looking evangelical as the Republican nominee.


'Jesusville'?

Does the blatant disrespect make you more endearing to some, Harry?

Not cool.
