Romney's extremist appeal

I can't say I was terribly impressed with his appeal to the taliban wing of the Republican party to accept him and his latter day saints. The sentiments of religious freedom, pluralism and a secular public sphere he needed to play to are completely anathema to these fundamentalist crazies - their wet dream is a wahabist-style christian theocracy. Like the salafist jihadi who despises divergent strains of Islam, the christian fundies hate mormons only slightly less than they hate atheists, wiccans, gays, muslims, catholics, jews, episcopalians . . . lest we forget we are all going to burn, damned to some imaginary hell unless we accept their bizzare biblically contrived and farcical worldview. where is the love again? :-p
