The Toady

Here's why Mitt Romney's "Faith in America" speech is backfiring: Bullies don't respect their toadies.

The speech includes some decent stretches, but it was not, primarily, a courageous plea for religious tolerance and mutual respect. It was, instead, primarily an obsequious bit of sucking up by an outsider hoping to curry favor with the in crowd by parroting their condemnation of other outsiders.

Religion doesn't belong in government.

Religion doesn't belong in government.

Romney should have kept that as his position.

James Dobson's support of him could have gone a long way, so I wonder why he feels the need to keep drawing attention to his religion?

Once that base starts getting educated on Mormonism Romney won't have a chance. :shrug


From the comments section:
Romney's speech will fail for the obvious reason- who needs potentially contaminated American Christian Hate from a Mormon like Romney when Mike Huckabee offers it in a purer, approved "Baptist" form? Anything Romney can hate, Huckabee can hate more intensely.

Hillary Clinton will be the target of at least one assassination attempt by American Christians in 2008. Probably more. Her moral superiority to American Christians is galling, and they will respond in the time-tested way of the American Christian- with hatred and (they hope) death.

Anything you can hate I can hate better -
I can hate anything better than you!

They keep having prayer meetings and prayer chains asking God to kill her. They are such good people. Where in the bible do they find this?

Sounds like she scares the hell out of them.
Intelligent people oftentimes do that to bigots who hide under the guise of Christianity.
Gives both a bad name.

Totally agree!

Issac, I don't know where some people get their ideas. But I remember hearing Pat Robertson ask God for a 'change' in the Supreme Court, and those are lifetime appointments.

And yet some Christians say they are under attack in this country. :roll
