That’s the title of my piece today in the Washington Post’s “On Faith” section.  Here’s the key paragraph: In their quest to endorse a so-called “true conservative” these evangelical leaders have pushed well beyond their core competencies. I have enormous respect for many of the participants, but they have no more knowledge (and often less) than their rank-and-file supporters about finance, housing, and the military. Maybe, just maybe, their rank-and-file supporters are less interested in arguing over who’s been pro-life... Read more

Over the weekend, a group of evangelicals voted to endorse Rick Santorum over Newt Gingrich — without even seriously considering Mitt Romney.  These Christians apparently considered a even a thrice-divorced, ethically-challenged former Speaker of the House preferable to once-married, unquestionably ethical former governor.  The public justification for their vote was a quest to find a “true conservative” alternative to a man who is pro-life, pro-free market, and stands strong on national security.  Their “true conservative” alternative (Senator Santorum) is certainly an... Read more

Okay, I know that Steve is encouraging us to take care of the homeless, Paul is telling us that we don’t have soul mates, and Rebecca is talking about Margaret Thatcher. However, I had to interrupt these important message to tell you about the most awesome fast food development since McDonald’s started taking credit cards and Chick-Fil-A started using those enormous ketchup packets. Last night at Wendy’s, I saw this new type of drink dispenser.  (Is this what people in... Read more

Doesn’t it feel good to win?  I hope you are all well rested after such an early declaration of victory last night’s historic win.  Rich Lowry has a great wrap up of the scope of the victory: The exit polls tell the tale of strength across-the-board: Romney won men and women; he won everyone over age 40; he won all education groups; he won everyone make $30,000 and up; he won Republicans by an impressive 49 percent; he won moderates,... Read more

In New Hampshire and South Carolina, we are now witnessing the economic equivalent of conservatives attacking a pro-life colleague using Planned Parenthood talking points. Let’s be clear about what’s happening here: Acting out of personal frustration and political desperation, three leading conservative politicians are faking outrage about Mitt Romney’s business practices and in so doing are actively selling poisonous moral and economic ideas to the American people.  The language of the Occupy movement is infecting Republican rhetoric. My concern is... Read more

You MUST see this Jon Stewart clip, which shows how Romney’s opponents are using anti-capitalist language and class warfare to get ahead. (Or, to not get ahead.) The Daily Show Get More: Daily Show Full Episodes,Political Humor & Satire Blog,The Daily Show on Facebook Read more

I just came across this 2007 endorsement of Gov. Romney by Wayne Grudem, an evangelical professor of Bible and theology and a rock star in reformed circles.  I don’t know if Professor Grudem still endorses Gov. Romney for 2012, but I found his article interesting.  First, he explained that he didn’t agree with Gov. Romney’s theological beliefs: Romney is a Mormon, and I strongly disagree with a significant number of Mormon theological beliefs, which I find to be inconsistent with... Read more

My friend Tim Dalrymple asked if anyone had the full transcript of Rick Santorum’s endorsement of Gov. Romney during the last  Presidential cycle.  I found this release, which is interesting reading these days.  As you read it, realize that Gov. Romney hasn’t changed positions at all… but Santorum is certainly singing a different tune. BOSTON, Feb. 1 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Today, former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA) announced his endorsement of Governor Mitt Romney. Senator Santorum served two terms in the... Read more

Rick Santorum is really against the individual mandate.  Watch any debate and you’ll see that he’s barely able to contain his contempt for Gov. Romney’s healthcare plan in Massachusetts. However, in 1994, he was singing a different tune.  Back then, he wanted to require people to buy health insurance. Here’s a 1994 LeHigh Valley article (this is page two, but I’m trying to draw your attention to the top sentence): Santorum and Watkins would require individuals to buy health insurance... Read more
