I honestly don't think that it is about the fact that he's a Mormon for most of them. Some folks, sure, but I think they are in the great minority. Romney's Mormon faith is much less of hindrance for him than Kennedy's Catholicism was.
The reason that the hard core religious right is against him is that he isn't one of them. He's been pro-choice and he's got the stench of liberal Massachusetts on him. He's disavowed all those old positions and swears up and down that he is a right wing loon just like them but they just don't trust him. It's funny that they do seem willing to back Gingrich, who isn't particularly religious and who certainly has been lax on a number of personal "family values" issues. But, on the other hand, he's a no holds barred conservative jerk who they know won't compromise with Democrats on anything, the fate of the country be damned. I guess they think that that's good enough for their agenda. They're probably right too. Judah On Wed, Jan 4, 2012 at 8:19 AM, Larry C.
