ronnie emerson ferries and interesting there was a values voter summit in
washington over the weekend of adolph course went to talk about how bunch
day-long values family values like hitting a table
that's par for the course of a surprise well that
uh... but there was so surprising moment when robert jeffersonian xat baptist
pastor came into
use rick perry
he says an inflammatory things about uh... basically mitt romney in his faith
oh elicited cannot pick up his vm not-so-subtle references here club one
operation as a pass for
i'm excited about the candlestick candidacy of rick perry
is not because of his fiscal policies but it's because of a strong commitment
to a biblical values
or that uh... many would say that all pop the candidates were having the
opportunity to hear these next few days
a lot of them possess one to perhaps all three of those attributes
and that may be
but are you believe in a few months
when the smoke has cleared
those of us who are evangelical christians are going to have a choice to
make
and the choice is going to be this
do what you want a candidate who is skilled in rhetoric or one who is
skilled in leadership
doing what i can do that
political star
in out of convenience
or one who is a conservative out a deep conviction
do we want a candidate who is a
moral person
or do we want a candidate who is a born again power
of the largest its products
rec area is a proven labor
is a true conservative
and he is not genuine follower of jesus christ
on uh... early i mean for some basically flip-flopping obviously very mit romney
but he says he will be a good person but you gotta be genuine are born again
christian and a true christian
nationals references were not clear enough for you as to who the morning and
as a neutral christian is
and who isn't
he's gonna make it very clear next southern baptist convention which is the
largest protestant denomination the world
has officially labeled norman is in this economy
i think there and he's a good moral man but i think those of us were warned
again paul was surprised should always prefer competent christian drug
companies who are not competent non-christian line around it
oh
there comes a moral issue he is called a cult
so they're bringing religion right into this thing and we were wondering when
they were to get dirty like this
and answers apparently fairly quickly so spelling especially jeffers about
whether patrick pay for the month of the season all known or worked on the family
research council asked me to
introduce repair a poor attorney has no idea exited the habit of me
very good friends when asked about that he said quote
repair is never listen to a serving of mine he certainly never been a member of
my church
we're just acquaintances
now but
urban states
uh... obvious that the repair you can't uh... asked this dallas pastor
who he has been friends with the all
to come out this link very aggressively
they as mit romney day no question about it
so now the question is how the other
activities respond
i while other eight had a chance to respond with candy crowley on c_n_n_ for
soccer maintain let's see how he tackles
smith brahmins non-christian
underground theologian in chief
on the lifelong christian
and what that means is one of my guiding principles for the decisions are made
as i start with do the right thing
i'm not given the controversy but based il will beg the question is that you
dodged a direct question which is
izmir ronnie not a christian
he was a moment
that much i know
act i'm not going to do an analysis of mormon is inverse christianity for the
sake of answering that i'm not getting into that iowa kristen van allen look
like i did dot ting at
if that's what it looks like undoubtedly because it's not going to have post
boost its economy and you know that that's not number one priority
he's a mormon that much i know
all here they go
yeah i mean it's a clear implication that i mean increasing like arts
i mean he might claiming christian but i know a thing about that
anheuser when hillary clinton said about ovr articles work that is not muslim
and this case
repair i'm sorry mit romney is actually mormon
in that case rival bomb or was it even muslim and they were trying to smear
when i met this very thing with it anyway
corinthian continues to do the same dates here
and ekta
on a more general note
is someone's religion
invalid
campaign issue
i mean the it is a valid concern
but i don't think it necessarily should be a big campaign issue
what imovie
to know
what you'll guiding principles
and what are your values because you've got in principles in your values will
impact
how do you make decisions that's what i believe it is so just focusing on
religion alone
is not enough to determine how that person will make decisions it's not
enough alone
but you should consider is that in fact it's a valid concern
so they're not even being sell about kid date you know there's an honest guy i
don't know visa christian or not it should not be one of the things you
should consider shadley maybe it's not the most important thing but think about
it
you know i wanted to say this year were
true christians
michelle bachman continues at the you know this is cell inconsequential as far
as this campaign is concerned that we have religious tolerance and this
country
and we understand that people have different views on their faith and
i have a very sincerely held believe and faith in i think we just leave it at
that
well the other thing is it's not saloons inconsequential is it
in the primary on the republican side with conservative christians have quite
a lot of say-so property clearly when you move south and south carolina and
places like that so it's not inconsequential for someone to call a
major can win the republican party in the primary season
not a question
well again and uh... i have a very strong sincerely held faith eye-to-eye
talked about it that values voters and the candidates can ever think that they
want that
the beauty of our america is that we do have tolerance free trial space and
that's where it's at
and let me just because i i gave uh...
herman cain the same opportunity you know that
that by not answering the direct question do you think mit romney is a
christian uh... you leave open the possibility that people are going to say
that you dodged the question the direct question
known pat i think what the real focuses here again is the armed religious
tolerance that's really what this is about and i think
again through to make this of big issue is just rediculous right now
now to be very michelle but when she did the best she could you please try to
bring tolerance intuit bailey
and went with joe bachman is where you're more tolerant and aids
you've got a fascinating primary going on on the republican side
now is to be fair to her if she's a little stark has all these guys are
right
because
is more minutes and really christianity
you know as in a massive don't even know i mean
ait i think honestly i think both believe in goofy things i mean the
mormons believe that the guy look with the magic wasn't a magic hat or whatever
he looked into an end file lost the tablets of all sounds crazy to me right
but on the other hand that you know the christian say jesus walked on water and
revive the dead intern fish in the wine or whatever you turn into wine now that
they have fish
and bread in sacramento you know if you're around june first and that also
sounds a little on believable
so which all those different things
they all believers in over mitt romney believe in the magic glasses plus the
walking on water or is the only believe in the magic glasses
but in and they can say michele what we can say and everything
can say or it doesn't matter
because they've built their careers and their kid campaign on it doesn't matter
denominators oahu christian that i'm a born-again christian that i'm a true
believer are believed uses crisis all important in this country needed a
christian heritage and i want to rule by his dictates example if i could and
would totally ignore
ninety percent of what he says about the poor and helping others
and i'm gonna pretend that he's in favor of endless wars but i also know that i'm
totally brought into the jesus christ at least two the republic arty is market
right
so they can say it doesn't matter and if they say heyyy i don't know if more
resume is christianity but it looks like they're questioning romney's religion
it's because they are the one guy we know who did it on purpose
is repaired
personally and he's coming it's going to get dirty
and i think we're just at the beginning of
