derp der derp derp...

now that THAT's out of the way....

will they elect him?

Congratulations young man. You've provided us with a couple of online resources and allowed a biased media to shape your worldview. Provide me with real resources and then ask the silly question. You look dumb and are too full of yourself to realize it. It's alot of fun for us grownups though, so thanks for that.

To answer your question succinctly and cogently, the Religious Right (again, a media invented term and stereotype) will vote the gamut of candidates just like everyone else.

I'd be shocked if Romney didn't win the nomination. Then, he'll have to clearly define what his agenda and distinctives are as a candidate w/o allowing the Obama machine to get to him or define him. IMO, it's Romney's Presidency to lose. But, Obama is very good in election mode. We'll see.

ha ha ha...

so condescending... ha ha ha... these "silly" online resources are well documented... but, then again, they aren't in the bible, right?

the JackBoot Christians, The Religious Right, the Evangelical movement... the politicized christians... whatever you want to call it, old man, played a very large part in electing Bush...

do you think they will mobilize behind Romney like they did behind Bush?

ha ha ha... old peepoles are so smuarts

Romney won't get their base, their money, or their vote for the most part. The current President will spend his ad $$'s marginalizing Romney with the swing voters by attacking his personal wealth. Lots of money is bad....that's what BO says......of course he has lots too but that's different, right?

Not condescending when you tell the truth. But since I hurt your feelings a little, causing you to feign being too cool for school, I won't point out your youth anymore. My bad. And no, they're not well documented sources, it's almost impossible to find that with online resources. To again answer your question, the Religious Right (if we're going to stick with that term) will back Romney just as vigorously, IMO, as they did Bush, if indeed Romney gets the nomination.

BTW, I love the term "Jackboot Christians." That's new to me. The Anti-Christian movement is almost as created in their stupidity and vitriol as the racist Jim Crow types were.

You obviously know nothing about Mormonism. Here are just a couple differences:

Good male Mormons believe they will be given their own planets to be God of.

The most fundamental believe in polygamy and marrying girls as young as 14.

Logical post. But c'mon, we're supposed to accept as valid a publication entitled "Republican Gomorrah: Inside the Movement that Shattered a Party?" I don't deny that there are groups of individuals, who happen to be evangelical Christians, who have various lobby's. Of course that's true. We all fit into one kind of voting group or another whether we want to admit it or not. What I won't allow is the ignorant squeezing in, of a very large and diverse group if individuals, into a niche that is comfortable for others who really don't understand them or want to do so. I generally only post over here when I see a discussion is going to be void of fact and based on someone's ignorant ideas. I like to see debate occur correctly and factually, and I insist upon that for every kind of group or topic. The point is, the folks that the OP is labeling as the "religious right" should actually be referred to under dozens of different headings. To ask this question correctly one would say, "so, which of these many different groups, who could also fit under our notion of the 'religious right' is likely to vote for Romney." Then we could have a real discussion.

Romney has just as much concern over the Christian left as he does the "religious right." But, if someone truly understands the "religious right" (still such a bad term b/c it generalizes a very large group of very diverse folks) then the obvious answer is a resounding yes, they will support Romney and in a robust fashion.

Im part of the "religious right" most would say as dumb and vague as that term is and I would vote for him because he is moderate enough to find some solidarity but conservative enough to implement changes the country needs.

They, themselves, call themselves the religious right...

Ha ha ha republicans irked about being labeled... Ironing!

Go blow rush for some oxy

Spiritually different, but in terms of political issues that are spawned from religious values...the religious right will identify more with Romney's Mormonism than Obama's ideas. Take abortion for instance. You think they're going to vote pro-choice for Obama just because Romney thinks he's going to be a God of a planet one day? Don't think so.

Yes there are clearly differences in beliefs between those groups, but the most basic morals are still very similar. The 'religious right' will gather behind who they view as the most moral, ethical, and pro-life of the two candidates most likely. So my statement was simply to point out that the differences between the religions are not generally what the 'religious right' truly cares about come voting day.
