Leading Republican Evangelical: Romney Doesn't Share Our Beliefs

One of the most excruciating elements of the Obama presidency has been the right wing lie that the president is not a Christian.  Since at least 2007 (possibly way longer) Republicans have been fueling a conspiracy charge that Barack Obama is either a secret Muslim or is waging a war against Christianity, or both-- with help, of course, from his terrorist pals in al qeada, the Black Panthers, the Weather Underground and from his tree hugging liberal commie fascist friends.  The whole thing really makes no sense.  Yet its a staple Republican talking point and one of the main reasons they claim they don't like him and can't vote for him.

On the other hand...

The reality, though, is President Obama is a Christian.  The other reality, though, is the Republican nominee for president, Mitt Romney, is not.  He's a Mormon.  And Mormons are not Christians, at least not in the doctrinal sense of the Holy Bible.  But hey, don't take my word for it.  Leading right wing Christian fundamentalist and mega-church pastor, Rick Warren, on Easter Sunday clearly stated Mormons are not Christians.  Therefore, the man millions of self-proclaimed Christians, who have for at least half a decade tarnished Obama for not being one of them, will cast their votes for someone who is not one of them.  And they'll do so without hesitation and will giddily continue their jihad against black Democrats running the country because Jesus tells them to.  That's hypocrisy for ya.  But don't worry, it all makes perfect sense in their fantasy world.
