When
Senator John McCain appeared at the Conservative party conference in
Bournemouth last October as the presumptive next president of the
US, the stars seemed fixed in the firmament for him. The myth of
McCain appeared as invincible as ever. -Guardian Unlimited

Why is everyone
questioning Romney's commitment to the GOP based on things he
said while running for office in the most liberal state in the
union years ago and in spite of the fact that he was the most
conservative governor MA has had in 40 years while McCain has
repeatedly betrayed the GOP, made deragatory comments about
Christians, and once told a staffer (rumor has it) that he
would consider running as Hillary's VP if the Republicans deny
him the nomination again. Cardinal O'Malley in Boston has said
that Romney was a better friend to the Cathollic church than
any other MA governor in decades, and he was about the only
one that wasn't Catholic. I'd like to see the press pointing
these things out. Nobody is talking about the economy and
Romney's qualifications there either.
Will Christians
and the GOP really support McCain? I think a lot of it is a
thin disguise for anti-Mormon bigotry, and that the Republican
party risks shooting itself in the foot if it embraces it. The
weight of the logic behind different theologies is not an
issue that matter in picking a nominee. Words worth thinking
about: "Mormons have served quietly and honorably in the
House, Senate, Armed Forces, Judiciary, every federal agency,
and most Presidential Administrations for 100 years. Those who
would try to impute any disloyalty, dishonor or ineptitude to
them for their religious beliefs degrade us all." -- President
Bush on criticism of Utah Gov. Mike Leavitt's appointment to
the EPA.
