GOP-RIP

05-24-07The “RINO” (Republican In Name Only) syndrome was diagnosed at a very advanced stage by the 2006 election. But apparently we’ve learned nothing. And the adulation over the candidacy of Mitt Romney shows the condition is probably terminal.
“RINOism” has infected much of the conservative leadership, from evangelical leaders to Right Wing talk show hosts. Southern Baptist leader Richard Land and top conservative radio talk show hosts such as Sean Hannity speak glowingly of Romney. Two of the most popular conservative shows have become part of the liberal media glorification of Mitt. One conservative talker has written “A Mormon In The White House.” He and other Republican talkers are denouncing the “ugly religious bigotry” against Romney.
What exactly are they talking about?
Before looking at the “bigotry” surrealism, there is an extremely important reason Republicans should not be hugging Romney and it has nothing to do with his religion.
