This is totally not a surprise.
Christian Conservatives at Florida Revival are Lukewarm for Mitt Romney
Illustrative quotes from the article, with my embedded comments.
When asked if he was enthusiastic about Romney, though, Barber laughed. "That's a good question. I will work with every fiber of my being to see that Barack Obama is not re-elected, and to the extent there is a collateral benefit to Mitt Romney, so be it."
Asked what he thought about Romney being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Ken Brooks said he teaches that Mormonism isn't Christianity. "He don't believe in the same Jesus that we do," Brooks said. "But he's better than voting for a Muslim."
(Someone needs to inform him that Barack Obama is NOT a Muslim. He's a Christian. Don't any Christian Conservatives remember that overblown controversy about Obama's home church preacher, Jeremiah Wright? Why's he attending a Christian church if he's a Muslim?)
"Art Ward, 73, of Orlando, Fla., said he is "okay" with Romney even though he would have preferred several of Romney's more conservative rivals. He said that Mormons "have some curious beliefs," but that he considers them Christians."
See above, on Ken Brooks' teachings. Most conservative Christian churches teach that Mormonism is not only not Christianity, it's also heretical regarding what it says about Jesus Christ.
But his wife, Linda, 68, slowly shook her head as he spoke. "I worry. I don't think they are on the right road," she said of Mormons. When asked if they are Christians, she paused. "I'm not sure of that," she said. She also said she is unsure whether she will vote for Romney.
"Romney is our only choice, said Sidney Lanier, 76, a retiree from West Palm Beach who wore a bright red sport jacket with a cross lapel pin. "We're not voting for him. We're voting against Obama."
And someone should inform Sidney that sometimes it's better to have a known enemy than an unknown ally.
