Shoulda I be surprised Rick Perry would roll like this?

From that article:

...Romney did take aim at Bryan Fischer, a director at the American Family Association, who was slated to speak directly after the candidate took the stage Saturday.

Fischer has claimed that Mormons and Muslims have "a completely different definition of who Christ is" than the founding fathers did, and do not deserve First Amendment protections as a consequence.

How utterly absurd and pathetic. Mormons and Muslims deserve no First Amendment protections? The ignorance of this fellow is overwhelming. It baffles me that the candidates have to try and cater to these "Values Voters" people.

Unbelievable. I mean really. What a collossal cluster fornication these knuckledraggers are. The Family Research Council, the American Family Association, the Christian Coalition -- all of them make the sane voters of this country do one giant facepalm.

If the GOP as a whole could just lose these nutbags, and concentrate their platform on economic and personal freedom, they would be amazed at how many elections they would win.
