Don’t judge a book by it’s cover. It wasn’t surprising to have friends ask me why I was holding a sign for Mitt Romney instead of Huckabee. As with the mainstream media, they apparently presumed that “Evangelical Christians” (especially the noisy and unapologetic types like me), would automatically support an ordained minister. The Lord has no respect for persons or positions. “You will know them by their fruit”.
With some of the endorsements he garnered, I had reservations. John McCain didn’t get my support for the same reason, plus others. Rudy never had a chance, being pro-abortion. Thompson spoke well, and would perhaps rank as a VP, but didn’t instill confidence in his ability to win. My second favorite, Duncan Hunter suffered the same unfortunate reality of the “un-electability” factor. Ron Paul’s positions were great, in most cases, but not enough.
Who can we believe when they all lie? That puts them all on the same level. Therefore, take them all at their word, then measure their words equally. Mitt Romney’s positions on all the major issues most closely match mine. Examine the speeches, debates and ads, but mostly, the actions and pronounced motives. Mitt Romney is the candidate most hated by the liberals and their transparent media allies, which is the undeniable "antabuse" test because; they do lie, all the time. They nauseate me reliably enough to be a clinical measurement.
Mitt Romney is on the right side of the issues. He is a Conservative and has publicly, without hesitation, boldly declared that The Holy Bible IS The Word of God. That was the moment which put him over. How he has determined to worship the God of the Bible may be erroneous, but Jesus looks at the heart, where no one can see. On the outside, where the fruit is, Mitt Romney is the man I think would make the best President for such a time as this.
I hope and pray that the nomination process goes all the way to the convention, where anything can happen. Perhaps calmer and more conservative heads will prevail and recognize the fact that McCain is NOT one of us. Perhaps Divine Providence will intervene. Perhaps He already has, nothing happens without His say-so. He does invite us to be part of the plan so; join me in prayer. Lobby The Lord and those delegates!
