Romney, Gay Rights, and Abortion
As is the case with most Barnett pieces, this one defies easy summary, so I won't excerpt any key paragraphs for you. As Glenn Reynolds often says, read the whole thing.
I will, however, quote these thoughts from the comments to Dean's post, because they made me chuckle:
I will not hold Romney's Mormonism agin 'im. I am evangelical and southern. I dislike the impression that we are stubborn to the point of shooting ourselves in the foot over something like this. I can understand the notion but I can't picture, when it gets right down to THE VOTE, evangelicals sitting it out or pulling the lever for any stinkin' Dem.As for me, I want to encourage my fellow evangelicals to remember we are spiritually descended from Abraham. Abe was practical and wiley. He wouldn't refuse a smart deal unless it imperilled(?) his faith. I don't feel any threat to my faith coming from Mormons. Hot secular chicks, sure, but not Utah. The worst that I could see happening is that Mormons take over and force us all to start drinking Sprite.
