People said the same about Kennedy. A Catholic could never be President, he'd hand the country over to Rome, blah blah blah. Did he? No. No more would Romney. There are decisions of Romney's that I am not overly thrilled with, but his faith is not one of them. I would vote for Romney as President because - economically - he's smart. And (insert the deity of your choice) knows, we need that badly.
Wow, this tired argument again. Never get tired of seeing this one. Completely took this fallacy apart...

I will sacrifice my personal desire for a real strong conservative President in the best interests of the country. My personal conservative beliefs are mine - I have no right to force those beliefs on the country. Personally, I think that is where many of us go wrong, we confuse our own personal beliefs with the will of the nation.
So what you are admitting is that conservatism is such a weak philosophy that the ONLY way you can sell it is by finding a squishy, vanilla oppurtunist who checks every speech with a focus group.
And you think this is the case even running against the weakest president with the worst economic record of our lifetimes.
All you do is hope that no one points out that he belongs to a whackadoodle cult with crazy beliefs and a slimy history that involves child brides and various scams.
