Why Evangelical Christians Can Vote For Mitt Romney

An excellent analysis by R. Albert Mohler, Jr., President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. This guy is good. Thank you to my friend M.M. (of Toronto) that passed this on to me.

I only have one disagreement with the author. He appropriately refrains from suggesting his wonderful arguments actually address the issue of "whom then shall evangelical Christians vote for among the GOP candidates?"  I'm prepared to suggest that given the slate and given Albert Mohler's sound arguments, Christian evangelicals will actually be 'required' out of what's best and closest to our worldview, to vote for Mitt Romney -- both during the GOP convention process (as he is the only one that could win the nomination and have a chance of beating Obama) and against Obama (whose worldview is very very different from that of evangelicals). Enjoy the linked article.

Why Only Romney and Why NOT Romney

Here's the bottom line -- netted out as usual for you by yours truly, but you really need to get your eyes and your teeth into this one. Here's the summary:

The majority of the political pundits I read would agree that unless something unforeseen happens, Mitt Romney will likely win the GOP nomination about ten months from now. Unless of course, they get scared by the argument and the potential reality outlined in the article in the link below.

Secondly, the press with Obama gleefully leading it from the sidelines line take Romney and his religion (you got it, Mormonism) apart piece by piece. They will do Romney what the press did to Stephen Harper in Canada the first time he ran. They hurt him so much, arguing that he is a right-wing nut, that he only managed to get a "minority" that time around. It was not till later when people saw he wasn't a "religious freak or monster" and that he really knew how to lead that the people of Canada gave him a solid majority.

But America does not work like that -- your party wins or loses and that's it. So, Obama will cheer the media as they make Romney look like an ogre from another planet because of his religion. They'll point out all that's wrong with it, arguing that it does not match the tenets of the Christianity that America was founded on. As if these hypocrites gave a hoot (or whatever) for what Christianity really says. Perhaps only when it suits their purposes.

So what does all this mean? Put bluntly, it means the GOP is between a rock and a hard place.  They won't win with anyone else and they may well not win with Romney.

We're open for solutions or contrary opinions.
