In reply to the discussion: The Elephant In Santorum's Theological Room: Religion = Make Believe [View all]undeterred
(34,658 posts)Theocrats are going to attack anyone else as "not Christian enough" as if this were a race for head pastor. They have redefined this as a race for spiritual / moral leader instead of for president. That's how Santorum gets off preaching about women and all kinds of issues like prenatal testing that have nothing to do with the economy or things like foreign policy that the presidential race should really be about.
He is speaking a language that conservative religious believers are comfortable with. Telling them that the things they believe in aren't real doesn't make them not want to vote for Santorum.
In fact some of them feel like he's the only guy who understands them... which is really scary because it looks like there are a whole lot of people out there who actually like the guy. His numbers keep going up.
