Right Wing Evangelicals Tell McCain Not to Go There

Filed in National by on July 30, 2008

They don’t want him to pick Romney as VP. According to the article:

They say Mr. Romney lacks trust on issues such as outlawing abortion and opposing same-sex marriage and because he is a Mormon. Opposition is particularly powerful among those who supported former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee in the Republican presidential primaries earlier this year.

Yes, this is from the Moonie Times, but this is the same group of Christian nationalists (styling themselves as speaking for evangelicals everywhere) who could barely bring themselves to accept McCain as a candidate in the first place. Now, they want majority vote in the selection of McCain’s VP pick.

How fun would it be to have Multiple Choice Mitt back? We gotta get him to bring his dog, this time.

    I wonder which they hate the most. The abortion flip flop, the same sex marriage flip/flop or the Mormonism?

    Seems like my beach buddies were onto something. All of them said “no” to Romney because he was a Mormon.

    Come to think of it can you believe that Smith made up the name the Angle Marroni. You know folks the one that gave him the Golden Tablets which some how got misplaced. Sounds a bit legit to me but then what do I know.

    And twelve.

    We are talking about the hapless Romney family pet who made the trip from Boston to Ontario strapped to the roof of the car.

    Gee, I never saw the story about Romney’s dog before. That’s a bit messed up. Then again, at least he didn’t pull a Clark Griswold and tie the dog’s leash to the bumper…

    Oh – and to the substance of the post. Am I the only one who can’t help but chuckle when people who think it’s totally feasible that every living thing on the planet could be saved from a flood via storage in a giant boat end up quarreling with people who think it’s totally feasible that a book of scripture could be translated from magic golden plates found in the ground (plates which, naturally, were transported to heaven when the translation was finished)?
