The other breed of Christians who were promised a Christian Theocracy which reports to the Pope, by Santorum, would be deeply disappointed by Paul.

So this is what an influential Christian leader had to say about voting for Obamney:



That's a fine idiot we have there^^, but even his vote is a vote. Won't he be rudely surprised when Paul swears by the Bible to uphold the Constitution and not swear by the Constitution to uphold the Bible? :-D
True Christians are for Paul? OMG, so now you speak for all Christians and you determine who is a "True Christian"?
Clue: No, You Do Not. Jeeeez moving, you can do better than that.

Do you really think the Evangelicals are going to support Paul? I am sure a few will, but overall, not!!!!!!!

To moving-pain,

As a Chritian, I find your comment about Christians should all support Paul an insult and I find your trying to tell people who they should vote for over the edge. I can assure you, most Christians I know, in fact all of them are supporting someone other than Paul. In fact within our congregation which is pretty evangelical, we have 2 retired pastors and their spouses who happen to be supporting Romney.

You may not meant your statement to say, Christians should not support anyone but Paul, but that is how it sounds.

Normally I would agree, but what would you call this latest move?

They asked to meet with him and he agreed. That's what it's called.

If religion-card isn't at play here, why does your thread read "evangelicals"?

If I was a Christian, he would exactly be the person I would
want to support, because Paul does value the things you've
just mentioned.
Paul walks the walk
Agreed.

Meeting with people who want to speak with him and find out what kind of POTUS he would make. Did you not know that Ron Paul is a man of devote faith? The difference between him and those attempting to overtly appeal to the far right is that Paul does not use his postition to evangelize.

Unlike our current POTUS Ron Paul would seek to be a public servant head of state to all the people. He would serve the US Constitution, not "special interest" groups.

Becuase they're the ones who don't want Romney as thier candidate, and they rule the South.

Well, yeah! That is republicanism at work.

And ought to be treated as a crucial win... US Constitution demands forming alliances based on religious grounds. Ron Paul is picking up something that Barry Goldwater refused to accept (and paid the price for it).
