We support Mitt Romney. We have always supported Mitt Romney.

Endrick: We support Mitt Romney. We have always supported Mitt Romney.

I personally can't wait for Free Republic to hit the Final Stage.

The funny part will be that their fervent Acceptance stage will occur simultaneously as they come full circle back to Denial that the other four stages ever happened.

Really, you people give a shiat about this?

Contrabulous Flabtraption: Really, you people give a shiat about this?

Watching the far right swallow their bile as they line up obediently behind Romney the librul heretic?

That's the only reason I am paying attention to the election anymore. I don't really care who wins.

When does this megachurch get taxed?

Cythraul: When does this megachurch get taxed?

no. farking. shiat.

I dont understand why I'm supposed to care about any of this.

Its nice to see someone selling out their faith in return for a shot at political power. it actually reaffirms my faith in mankind.

So he's going with Rmoney the cult member over Obama the christian? I bet his faith racism helped him make that decision.

Yeah, I know, I'm the racist for making that observation.

I don't see how anyone could vote for either of two clearly anti-Christian candidates. I know that I'd rather stay home in November than choose between two evils. Someone should tell the folks at FR that.

they will sell out their faith and make a mockery of their religion because to these people (i.e. heretics) their faith is simply another commodity to be traded on the open market. Remember what I said when Santorum bailed on the race? all the folks who said they'd never vote for Romney would quickly change their minds and switch their support behind him. that's what this is - pastors selling out their faith to gain political power and doing so openly.

As soon as 0bama's goons get into the White House.

Obama is doubleplusungood.

Vodka Zombie: That's because Mitt Romney is more Jesus than the Muslim, Kenyan Fartbongo.

I wish I lived in a country where we didn't require a religious test in order to hold public office. Religions do nothing but divide and destroy communities and countries.

I just wish people would stop considering religion as a key value for a candidate.

Falling in line as predicted by just about anyone who knows anything about American Partisan politics...

And when he loses in November, they'll be back to screaming for a "real conservative" and how they didn't win because "Romney was too moderate!!!!".

oh if Romney loses they'll throw him under the bus before the election results are even cold.

well, this is going to be a very shaky coalition. the evangelicals *really* don't like Romney or the mormons, but their political situation demands that they play nice with one another if they want a shot at taking on Obama. Despite the public facade though, you can be sure that they're all looking for an opportunity to back stab one another.

meanwhile, Obama doesn't have have a campaign team that's fractured by internal religious feuds and has been taking notes during this primary race to see what's worked and what hasn't.

I wouldn't call it a "value". I'd call it "tribalism"

Has anyone brought up tax exempt status?

Vodka Zombie: We get it! Jesus was white.

Why do you think Mary Magdalene liked him so much?

Obviously. Cult member > seecrit muslin.

It's all very simple--people like this choose who to endorse based on a very simple scoring system:

White: +20
Black: -100
Brown: -20
Christian (non-Catholic variety): +20
Christian (Catholic variety): +5
Mormon: -10
Muslim: -50
Atheist: -100
Straight: 0 (no points because it's just normal and the way everyone is supposed to be)
"Homosexual lifestyle choice": -100

Mittens scores a total +10 points, Fartbongo scores either -80 or -150, depending on whether they believe he's a Christian or a Muslim. Easy decision, really.

Cyberluddite: "Homosexual lifestyle choice": -100

Oh come on now. Gayness should at least be -200.

DamnYankees: I dont understand why I'm supposed to care about any of this.

Kind of a symptom of just how crazy the politics on the right is in the country right now. Maybe like knowing the weather forecast includes thunderstorms?

Weaver95: I just wish people would stop considering religion as a key value for a candidate.

Unfortunately, the "no religious test" clause only applies to the government, not to the people voting for the government.

Weaver95: Despite the public facade though, you can be sure that they're all looking for an opportunity to back stab one another.

And there should probably be some liberals looking for opportunities to point out and hand over a knife.

Actually, Atheist has more negative impact among US voters.

Don't forget the hilarious right-wing meme that Obama is gay.

Vodka Zombie: We get it! Jesus was white.

The only thing white about Jesus are the paintings of him by white guys.

In these uncertain times fraught with unpredictable fortune, it's comforting to know that hate and avarice continue to stand as pillars of stability.
