Activists say pro-Santorum vote was rigged

[proud2BlibKansan]

A civil war is breaking out among evangelical leaders over allegations of a rigged election and ballot stuffing at a Saturday gathering of religious and social conservatives.

At the meeting about 150 religious conservative activists at the Benham, Texas, ranch of Nancy and Paul Pressler, Rick Santorum supporters claimed the former Pennsylvania senator was chosen on the third ballot as the consensus candidate to try to stop Mitt Romney’s march to the Republican presidential nomination.

The meeting was called to avoid a continued division within social conservatives’ ranks.

But in back-and-forth emails, Protestant fundamentalist leaders who attended – most of them backing former House Speaker Newt Gingrich to be the anti-Romney candidate — are accusing Catholic participants of conniving to rig the vote.

8. That's the good thing about this race

Is that while Santorum/Gingrich's views may match up with those of Evangelicals - both Mormonism and Catholicism are considered cults in Evangelical circles, leaving them without a true horse in the race, which will hopefully make it harder to get out the vote, especially when it does come down to Romney versus Obama, and they're thinking, "My choices are between a Mormon and a Muslim? I'm staying home."

9. So, religous "do gooders" (their view of themselves)

accuse each other of cheating? Is cheating acceptable behavior in the church? I thought all these "good" christians were so much better than everybody else, yet they cheat?
