If we had a Calvin Coolidge type of candidate who would govern as a conservative. But he was a Muslim. I would vote for him. Because being a conservative isn't about injecting your religion into policy. That's what progressive GOP candidates do...
No doubt in my mind that the first Muslim nominee would be conservative (it's a very conservative religion) and run on the Republican ticket. I still think you would find something wrong with them, I'm sure you'd say it wasn't because of their religion, but I'm positive it would be. Like I said your posting history a lone gives likely evidence. You can claim otherwise, but I don't buy it. Let's all be a bit honest here. Given todays current events, even I would be a bit hesitant to vote for someone of the Muslim faith. But to be just as honest, I'm just as hesitant to vote for someone that is overly Christian.
