Whatever else you can say of the Right, they are consistent in promoting their ideology.

And this ideology has no room for mandated health care or non-mainstream Chrsitianity. Ideally, it should be Protestant, but they begrudgingly accept Catholicism because it is morally (if not entirely socially) conservative.

All of which greatly diminsihes the chances of Romney, the party’s best bet at defeating Obama, from gaining his party’s nomination.
