I agree. If Romney were a conservative, I wouldn’t care about his religion.
In actuality, from comments I read it was clear that the “mormon” angle wasn’t the only reason Romney is being protested as the Liberty U commencement speaker.
However, none of the articles would mention anything other than the “mormon” complaints.
So, I figured it better to show that Liberty is not truly embracing Romney with open arms, than to wait for a perfect article.
That said, I wonder if there are any quotes by Romney about Jerry Falwell that could be found. I’m betting they would be terribly disrespectful.
Yes, the press would choose to focus on the religion and not the myriad of other differences that separate Mr. Romney from any serious Christian, or serious Mormom for that matter. I have encountered devout Mormons who carefully explain how Romney’s positions don’t even reflect the Mormon position on family matters.
