true not all the Republican candidates are as bad as Romney. Paul would be a good choice, but he won't win. McCain wouldn't be bad either, but he won't win. and though Guliani wouldn't be holding the religious flag, he woudl still be a disaster and thankfully won't win either. what you're left with is the very high probability of the Republican presidential candidate being of the right christian demographic's choosing. you don't have that problem on the Democrats side

As it stands right now, Obama has my attention...I'm still reading up on Ron Paul. There are others of course, but I would never vote for Romney, OR Guliani. Ever.
We really have no idea who will run. Hillary? She'll kill her own campaign with her dumb comments. Obama? My choice, personally...Romney? You seriously think the American people will vote for a Mormon? Nothing against them, but just like you, people make their choice based on 'religious grounds'...rather than actually political values. Thompson has strong showing on numerous polls, and he seems like the proper 'conservative'....don't know where he stands on religious ideas. He has other things that I have issues with though.
You make it seem like one side is 'worse' religiously than the other. Yet, both sides are going to pander to the religious...both left and right...to gain votes. Its a fact of American politics.
